Thanks so much to everyone who has played and reviewed Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game. We are delighted with the overwhelmingly positive response we've received, and so glad that reviewers, curators, YouTubers and streamers really enjoyed the game.

We thought we'd share a quick review list for those still wondering about the Obliteration Game.

Thanks again to you all for your fantastic support!

Gameskinny
“One of the most unique and enjoyable puzzle games this year… a unique concept, generally great gameplay, complex characters, humour and decent challenge…there is a real charm and personality to the game that really shines throughout from start to finish.”

The Dave Stream/ Vive VR Curator
“Unique game for VR…If you are looking to take a break from the usual type of VR games, or a fan of puzzle games then this is an instant purchase.”

IndieGames.com
“Few games out there dare to ask the really important questions, such as "why is that weird chicken talking in rhymes?", "what's up with all the cheese lying around?", and "did I really just blow up a planet?"
“It's certainly deeper and less silly than you might give it credit for at first glance and I really enjoyed my time with it so far.”

Doctor Kvorak's Obliteration Game

Dastardly Deity Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game now available

Jul 26, 2017

After seven very long years, we’ve finally done it! We’ve released Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game.

To those of you who are discovering the omnipotent Doc for the first time, his Obliteration Game is a single player sci-fi puzzle adventure that tells the story of an immortal trickster God and his deadly galactic game show. It plays beautifully on both Windows PC Desktop and in VR for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

To be honest, words can’t quite express our feelings right now. No-one really can describe the shedload of emotions a developer feels when the Steam button is finally pushed.

Proud, overwhelmed, excited, terrified, exhausted… even more exhausted. We’ve both spent such a large chunk of our lives creating this game that what players make of the Doc’s story matters immensely to us. Heck, our kids have grown up with us working full time on Doctor Kvorak – they don’t remember life before it. This is a big deal for all of us.

So far the feedback from Youtubers, streamers and reviewers has been wonderful. They loved the story and the Doc’s “witty banter”, the music went down well, and the gameplay is described as really fun. But the burning question is, will players like the Obliteration Game?

Well, whatever happens, we are incredibly proud of our achievement. This is seven years of our lives, and our fate lies in your hands.

Liberate or Obliterate. Which will you choose?

After 7 years in development, Dr Kvorak’s Obliteration Game to release on 26th July

Jul 6, 2017

It’s high summer already and you will all be pleased to know that it won’t be much longer until Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game is released on Steam.

So…drumroll please… the release date for Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game will be 26th July exclusively on Steam, for Windows PC Desktop with a simultaneous release on the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift/Touch.

In other news, we have been super-busy testing and polishing the game, and we also had the pleasure of showing the beta of the Obliteration Game at Norwich Gaming Festival, and as always, the feedback from players was tremendous. Players really loved Greeboo on the HTC Vive, and many came back all three days to play again and again. We had such a fantastic time – did we mention that we really love expos?!

We are now into the final testing phase before the Doctor unleashes his terror on the galaxy, and we will shortly be contacting the Games Press, YouTubers and Streamers with preview keys. If any of you would like a preview copy of the Obliteration Game for your channel, then please get in touch.

Only a few weeks to go now.

Seven years.

Seven whole years.

Let’s hope you all like it :)

Obliteration Game Spring Update – The Final Push

Feb 20, 2017

Slowly but surely, we’re inching towards the Obliteration Game finish line. Difficult to believe that we’re so close to the end now, after so many years working on the game as full time indie developers. It’s both exciting and terrifying in equal amounts.

The last couple of months have largely been about testing, refining, polishing and making sure we haven’t missed anything. The cut scenes are largely complete, the VR Editor has been reworked to be more user-friendly and we have integrated the game into Steamworks and set up Steam Cloud. We also took the plunge and upgraded to Unity 5.5, which went swimmingly, so now we can go ahead and fully integrate the Oculus Touch Controllers.

We’ve also been discussing the possibility of supporting all VR headsets and input types concurrently, thus covering all accessibility and mobility users, so the Obliteration Game would then work with the HTC Vive and controller, the Vive and gamepad, the Rift and Oculus Touch and the Rift and gamepad. This means that players could play room scale or sitting down, as they prefer. It’s important to support disabled players as much as we can (we have different disabilities ourselves) and we are hoping that the extra work that we’ve put into accessibility issues means that as many players as possible will have a fantastic game-playing experience in VR.

So what next? Well, we have a small amount of audio to record and the final animation pass to complete, and then we need to add Steam achievements. And then it’s on to public beta at last!

Doctor Kvorak's Winter Progress Report: Script, Audio and Animation

Dec 15, 2016

So it’s Christmas already and it’s been a very hectic and exciting few months.

Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game gameplay is complete and we’ve done a great deal of testing and debugging on both the HTC Vive and the PC desktop platforms.

Plus after a year’s work, sixty-five pages and endless re-writes, we’re delighted to report that the Obliteration Game script is done and the audio is in its final stages of completion.

We’ve also finished our final character, Doctor Kvorak’s nemesis, the glamorous space hen Eggloot. Isn’t she adorable?

So now we’re on to animating Doctor Kvorak and Eggloot in the levels, completing the audio and then on to the final stage of integrating Steam achievements. Doesn’t sound much if you say it quick!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Fall Progress Report - Collectables, Skins and HTC Vive U.I.

Sep 7, 2016

This is a quick progress report just to let everyone know what we've been up to.

The last couple of months have been super-busy trying to get the game levels complete. So much to do! We’ve been finishing all the collectable assets and making sure they work well in the game levels. We’ve also created a groovy character wardrobe for each of the three contestants. Great fun, and poor little Greeboo in particular looks incredibly cute in his new skins. Actually the hard part was getting the menu for changing skins to work intuitively in the HTC vive. As always, U.I. is really important and worth spending the extra time on.

We have also created a brand new central hub area for the Obliteration Game. As VR games are very new, we haven’t come across any other similar Vive games with which to compare hubs, so we’re really going with our gut on this one. It’s certainly very different! Honestly, the best (and worst) part of working on Doctor Kvorak is that because VR is so new, we really feel like we’re sailing in uncharted waters. It’s all rather exciting and scary, but hopefully we’re creating something rather strange and unique.
Next it’s finishing the final levels and then the all-important voice acting and animation.

Still inching towards the finish line. As always, thanks to everyone (especially our Twitter Community) for their ongoing support. We’ll get there :)

New Doctor Kvorak Obliteration Game Demo for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift

Jun 30, 2016

After the excitement of showing Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game at EGX Rezzed and Norwich Gaming Festival expo’s in April, we’ve been busy implementing suggestions and feedback from players. We’ve also been optimising the game for the HTC Vive. The characters have had a high-poly makeover, so they look hugely better in close-up when viewing them in the Vive. Implementing Roomscale VR really changes the way you deign a game – suddenly details (both visual and in gameplay) become incredibly important, and we really hope that players will like the improvements we have made.

We have also taken the time to make our VR Editor as awesome as it can be. You can now build puzzles, move, rotate, duplicate and create, and thus build entire levels within the HTC Vive. We have also integrated the Obliteration Game with the Steam VR keyboard, which finishes off the last parts of the VR Editor by allowing you to enter strings and other handy little things like file names when you want to save. The next stage of the VR editor will be integration into Steamworks, and that’s what we’ll be working on next.

More soon, but in the meantime, please try our latest Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game demo for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and PC Desktop by downloading it from Steam

As always, all feedback is most welcome.

Doctor Kvorak's Obliteration Game at EGX Rezzed London

Apr 13, 2016

It’s been a fun-packed April of expo’s. First we took the demo of Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game to Norwich Gaming Festival over the Easter week, and then 7-9th April at EGX Rezzed in London. Wow, what a blast! Showing your game to players, and hearing about how much they love your creation – it really is an amazing experience.

Our long term strategy over the last six years has been to develop Doctor Kvorak in conjunction with the community. We have always maintained that constant player feedback is the very best way to produce a good game. So these expo’s really were a final test of our gameplay and story before the final push to the game’s release later this year.

It was a fantastic opportunity to give the Obliteration Game a thorough road test too. The playtesting proceeded very smoothly and we noted a few minor tweaks here and there which we will take on board and implement to make the UI as good as it can be. It was also the first time we had showed the script and voiceover to players, but we need not have worried as everyone liked it.

Although the Obliteration Game is designed to appeal to all ages, we particularly enjoyed showing it to kids on the Oculus Rift. For most, it was their first experience of VR, and the look of wonder after they had played the Obliteration Game was totally awesome. This was the best part of EGX Rezzed: that VR *wow* moment and then games are never quite the same again.

So overall, two successful Easter Expo’s. We love showing our game to players and we can’t wait for the next opportunity. When’s that, you ask? Well, stay tuned, and in the meantime, it’s back to work for us. We’ve got a game to finish!
