We had a great time demoing Here Come The Dead at the TAVES Consumer Electronics Show on November 1. We were part of the TorontoVR showcase that included other local developers in a corner of the New Technology area. About 75 adults tried the game over the seven hours we were there. Enjoy the following highlight reel from the show!
Gnometech will be attending the TAVES Consumer Electronics Show on November 1 as part of the TorontoVR community showcase. We’ll be giving demos of the new Unreal Engine 4 and Oculus Rift DK2 version of Here Come The Dead to all TAVES attendees (admission required). How many zombies can you take down before time is up?
Culture Toronto attended Digifest 2014 and published a video showcasing people playing our latest game in development, Here Come The Dead. They also interviewed a show attendee about the game. Enjoy!
We had a great time showing off Here Come The Dead at Toronto’s Digifest 2014 Intel Family Day on May 9. Nearly 100 kids and adults tried out the game during the six hour show. Enjoy the following video that captures the excitement!

Today IGN posted an interview with Gnometech Inc. founder, David Wyand, about his work on the Oculus Rift Aurora Borealis demo. Head on over to the article, How Oculus Rift Will Change The World Beyond Gaming.
On March 17, 2013, a coronal mass ejection (CME) sent two days earlier reached the Earth. The resultant geomagnetic storm produced a brilliant aurora borealis display for the northern latitudes. Now you can see this event as viewed from opposite sides of the Earth as if you were there through the power of the Oculus Rift andTorque 3D (may also be used without the Rift):
Here’s what the Aurora Borealis demo looks like when connected to the Oculus Rift:
April 22, 2013 Update: My video for this project has just been honoured by being put on the Canadian Space Agency’s YouTube favourite video list:

Very exciting!
Following up the Leap Motion controller and Razer Hydra controller support in the first quarter of 2013, David Wyand has now integrated Oculus Rift DK1 support into Torque 3D. As part of this work we put together a simple test game called Rift Valley which you can see in action here:
Follow the path in the valley and see what awaits
Be sure to check out both the outdoors and indoors
In this game you control a soldier from a first person point of view as you explore a small valley. All artwork (other than the soldier) was done by Ron Kapaun of 3TD Studios and has been generously donated to the Torque 3D community. Other than requiring an Oculus Rift, you may use either a Xbox360 gamepad, or a keyboard and mouse to move around the valley.
The Rift Valley demo game is available for download and play with the Oculus Rift. You may find out more at GarageGames.
