FPS Creator Reloaded Integrates with Oculus Rift

FPS Creator ReloadedTGC Continues with Self-Hosted Pretail Funding.

Coming from The Game Creators (TGC), a privately owned UK company, FPS Creator Reloaded (FPSC Reloaded) has announced their beta launch of Oculus Rift integration.  The game development tools studio sees integration as an important strategic move as part of their FPSC Reloaded product.  With a copy of FPSC Reloaded and an Oculus Rift headset users can create their own game worlds and explore them immediately in full immersive Virtual Reality.

Lee Bamber“Creating games within your own virtual reality is like nothing you’ll have experienced before. The sense of immersion you get from the Oculus Rift is unbelievable” commented Lee Bamber, CEO and lead developer.

FPS Creator ReloadedNow any game made in FPS Creator Reloaded can be saved out as a standalone executable and then, combined with the Oculus Rift headset, you can experience what you’ve made in glorious stereoscopic. The scene pops out at you in the Rift and brings you closer and more personal to the action.

Rick Vanner“Ever since the Oculus Rift was announced we knew it would be a great companion to FPS Creator Reloaded. Gamers will have loads of fun creating levels and exploring them with the Oculus Rift.” said Rick Vanner, Development Director at The Game Creators.

FPS Creator Reloaded ExplanationVia TGG, FPSC Reloaded initially launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2012 and failed to raised their targeted funding goal.  The campaign attempted to surpass £60,000 but fell far short closing at just over £21,000.  The fundraising effort had a pleasant ending as the day the campaign closed,  Game Creators announced that a private investor, who wished to remain anonymous, had committed to back the full £60,000.

We have lift off!

Today we’re able to share some wonderful news with you. A private investor (who wishes to remain anonymous) has funded the project up to the 60K level.

This means that we’ll be developing FPS Creator Reloaded and all the features listed. We’re really excited about this and we’re looking forward to evolving the software as planned.

FPSC Reloaded has since shifted their funding to their own web site where interested game builders may pledge at three different levels; Gold, Silver, Bronze to receive specific perks.
