A.V. (tuxdb.com)

▶

There are probably a fair amount of people asking, “Hey, where is that A.V. Oculus update at?” Very excellent question! While at the Game Developers Conference the other week we got a lot of great feedback while showing off the game. On top of this, Unity released their new engine, Unity 5, which has a lot of technical features we could potentially take advantage of, as well as better license terms for our team. Upgrading to a new engine version is a difficult task that probably should have waited, but Preston was already fired up. So then it was, Preston feverishly worked on upgrading to the new version, and after only a bit of hair turning grey, there was success! We have A.V. up and running on the new Unity engine, but are still working to implement Oculus feedback from the conference and fixing up a few little bug fixes remain. We are going to roll out the Oculus and bug fixing patches as one coming up here. All of the team have a very heavy schedule this week with our lives inside and outside the A.V. world so we do not have an exact date for this patch right now, though we are eager to get it out there! After this patch is done, we will be down to just Doug and Preston. Although they won’t be going at things full time, they will still be listening, plotting, and updating. The follow up patch will focus on the UI and adding more options into the game screens. Thanks for sticking with us! Enjoy the Beat, Preston, Doug, & FirstForeverStudios

Available DLCs:

A.V. - Digital Sound Track

A.V. follows the adventure of a sentient music program living in a computer system – a program seeking to learn more about itself and its world. But since our hero was only programmed to understand sound, that’s the only way he can interact with his environment. Each sound you generate can be seen as a pulse of light, and it’s this mechanic that serves as your primary tool for navigating A.V.’s open world. To help you along, a set of musical instrument algorithms allow for different types of interaction with the world, letting you open access to new areas. In the midst of this adventure, though, there’s a catch. The computer you inhabit isn’t all that happy with your newfound sense of self-awareness, and has sent a load of antivirus programs into the system to stop you. Make too much noise, and you’ll draw their attention. Try to stay out of sight well enough to make your escape!

A.V.’s presentation is centered around a quirky and engaging sensory experience. The entire world follows a rhythm, and electronic music is coupled with colorful, pulsing lights to place you into a world where sound represents your whole existence. The game’s open-world design encourages you to choose your own path and your own play style – multiple ending sequences await depending on what technique you ultimately choose. So throw on some headphones, join the experience, and dive into the world of A.V. – a world that puts the “rhythm” in “algorithm”.

Hmm…that doesn’t really work unless you say it, does it?
