V ARRR

 
Personal life Update, I have created a new game!Aug 29, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsHi guys, it's me Thomas. Just a update on my life, if anyone is interested! I'm doing well and I actually made a new game called "VR Dungeon Knight". Some of you might remember that I did not make enough money from V ARRR, I simply could not pay the bills from it anymore. I want to thank everyone so much who played this game. It was my first game ever and it helped me learn so much and get into the Game Industry. I make games as a fulltime job now and it's all because of you guys! So thanks for supporting me and the game. I'm planning to make a lot more of them in the future ːsteamhappyː If you want you can check out VR Dungeon Knight on steam, it's my new game and it's doing pretty well. I'm actually able to make a living from it. Thanks for changing my life. I wish you guys a great day! -Thomas Blackjard Softworks.Personal life Update, I have created a new game!Aug 29, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsHi guys, it's me Thomas.

Thomas - Blackjard Softworks3 New stages online featuring Sword and Pistol battlesJun 24, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsSword and pistol battles are playable right now!

Have a very nice weekend, Thomas, Blackjard SoftworksSwordFights!Jun 21, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsThis week i'm working on swordfights! I will release the first levels before saturday. If you think you are going to fight sword enemies glued to the ground, think again! Swordfighting gives pirates that will move around you, take space, jump in and strike! You can block their attacks and strike with your sword, the new swordfight mechanic rewards long slashes, fancy slashes, spin attacks etc etc. The game punishes tiny quick strikes you see a lot in VR games and other motion controlled games. You will fight on a big ship against other ships (like the main game mode). On your ship you fight against rifle pirates and pirates with swords, they swing over to your ship and will try to defeat you in a sword battle! Sometimes you need to fight multiple sword pirates at once! There is a test level already online right now, It's pure a test level to see how the sword works. Back to work!

V ARRR is doing well and a lot of people are having a lot of fun playing it. Now that the discount period is over a lot of feedback was given in this time. Feedback as: Overal content, idea's, swords, co-op, and the price of the game. A lot of technical feedback was given as well and it's really helping me making V ARRR a better game. My name is Thomas and i'm making this game all by myself, it's quite a challenge and I love working on it, even after release. I know there are some flaws in the game and also a lot of things that work great. But over the week I have come to a decision to lower the price from 20 to 16.99 dollar/euros. Eventually it's about playing the game and making this possible for a lot of people. I did make it fair and left it above the discount price. Now on the other hand, I have had a lot of comments requesting a Co-op/multiplayer mode. I have done multiplayer projects in the past and I know how it works. So over the coming weeks I'm going to experiment with it. I do think it's a lot of fun to shoot pirates with your friends. It's not something you just put in your game but I don't mind making a effort and give something you guys really want. So you can at least expect a Co-op mode, up to 2-4 friends fighting off ships and pirates togehter. Next week I will release sword and pistol fights, there is a test level online already on challenge island so you can feel how the sword works. So that's a lot of information, do leave your thoughts. I wish you all a very nice weekend! -Thomas, Blackjard SoftworksPrice reduction and Multiplayer CO-OPJun 17, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsHello!, a lot of information about V ARRR.
