Ladies and Gentlemen, we at Avrlon [pronounced 'Avalon'] worked day and night the last couple of weeks to realize our dream: our own video game. Today we are happy to announce our first title: Elemental Combat! Elemental Combat is a fast-paced, competitive online Virtual Reality game that blends the speed and intensity of an FPS with Martial Arts. Control water, fire, earth and air with your hands and battle your opponents head-to-head in the arena! You will be able to play i...t on PC-powered VR glasses with motion trackers. The game is now in development and we will share some more sneak peaks in the next days and weeks. Head over to our website: www.avrlon.com and signup for our newsletter and receive one of the very limited Alpha Keys for Spring 2017! Thank you all for your support! We would not have made it this far without you!

Machine learning in video games. Can games start to learn not only what we do, but also what we feel and react accordingly?
...Our two quote highlight from the article:
“Given a good estimate of a player’s experience, AI algorithms can automatically – or semi-automatically – procedurally generate aspects of a game such as levels, maps, audio, visuals, stories, or even game rules. The estimate can be used to help designers shape a better experience for the player.
"“But you can imagine in the future a game which takes your Facebook feed instead of a Wikipedia database, and populates the game world with people you know, the things they like doing, the places they visit and the relationships people have with one another. Whether or not that sounds like a scary idea is another question"
[Book recommendation]
Everyone at Avrlon is given a copy of 'Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline - following the example of Facebook's practice at #Oculus.
Highly recommend this #book if you are into #VR!
...It plays in 2044 and people spend most of their social time inside a virtual world called Oasis.
#Oculus funds #VR content that will launch exclusively for the Oculus Rift. A hack that made it possible to play the #Rift titles also on #HTCVive was just patched recently - creating a huge backlash from the community. What do you think?
