Hello folks, The Baron here! It's time for The Steam Awards 2019, and if I may be so bold I would humbly ask you guys to to show KospY some love and support by considering Blade & Sorcery for the VR Game of the Year Category.
It's been almost one year since Blade & Sorcery launched early access on December 2018 and it has been a rollercoaster of a ride. The game has grown tremendously in scope, 100% in thanks to the amazing dedication of the Blade & Sorcery community who took a risk by supporting a first-time developer with a radical physics-based combat idea. As a result, B&S was the pioneer of physics-based VR games, and proved to the market both that that it could be done and that players wanted it.
In turn, KospY sought to delight fans by adding many unplanned features that were simply fan favourites, such as dismemberment (I sure ate my hat there, didn't I), climbing, full weapon grip, draw cuts, scores and custom built assets in the hopes of moving away from unity assets. Other stretch goal features that moved form the realm of "nope" to "it's on the list" thanks to fan support include dungeons, stealth, physics-based armour, alignment (honor system), revamped character models and a campaign (progression) mode.
On top of that, it has always been KospY's intent for Blade & Sorcery to be wide open and unrestricted to modders as he has a strong belief that modders add value to a game. Currently the game SDK supports custom weapon and maps, with future support for spells, armour and apparel. Since launch, Blade & Sorcery has had over 2,500,000 mod downloads on nexusmods.com, which is bananas when you consider this is a VR game!
So if you like what the developer is doing, and B&S has given you some good, wholesome, head-splitting entertainment this last year, then please consider nominating it for the VR Game of the Year category. From now until its release there will be some exciting news about Update 8 - The Sorcery Update coming down the pipeline, so stay tuned! Thanks, all!
