In Death is coming to Playstation VR, Out On November 27

We are so excited to share with you the news that In Death, our roguelike VR shooter, is coming to PlayStation VR on November 27. Over the past couple of years, we’ve been hard at work crafting a core VR game that pays tribute to one of our favorite game genres: The roguelike dungeon crawler.

In Death is an unforgiving, challenging first person shooter that incorporates many of the hallmarks of roguelike games. Set in a surreal medieval world, you are the hero that must venture into the depths of Purgatory and traverse the soaring cathedrals and floating islands of Paradise Lost to bring harmony to the Afterlife.

 In Death features procedurally-generated levels and random enemy spawns meaning each run is unique and unpredictable. This is a high stakes permadeath style combat experience, with no save points during your run of each chapter of the game, only offering a continue point if you successfully complete a discrete chapter.

 We’ve created an achievement-based progression system that unlocks new power ups for your bow in the form of randomly generated special arrows and health boosts that you can loot from enemies. Defeating enemies also accumulates gold that you can spend in the Reliquary, an in-game item store where you can bolster your arsenal or defensive edge.  As you unlock new achievements, you gain ever increasing offensive and defensive skills that persist across each run. But as you improve, new and more powerful enemies arrive on the scene, making each run increasingly more challenging. We’ve put great effort into balancing this progression system against the enemy difficulty level, and we think we´ve created a core loop that rewards skill-based players with the kind of replay value that is the holy grail of all good roguelikes.

 Creating a core shooter experience for VR is all about delivering rewarding weapon handling coupled with a movement system that keeps you in immersed in the flow of combat. With In Death you move by shooting a golden teleport arrow, allowing you keep your aiming and combat stance while moving through the world, and even adjusting your aim mid-flight to land an awesome headshot as you drop into a slew of enemies around the corner. We think this locomotion mode, tightly integrated with your combat stance, works incredibly well in VR.

 And for those of you that prefer to play with a DUALSHOCK 4 controller, we’ve come up with a novel way of using the Lightbar for motion tracking together with the gyroscope and accelerometer to create a six degree of freedom (6DOF) and tracked experience for weapon handling and aiming. I really look forward to hearing how you think it plays compared to using the Move Motion Controllers, which we naturally also support.

 As your skill improves and you master the single player game mode, graduate to competing with other In Death players on the Ladder, our global leaderboard and asynchronous multiplayer mode. The Ladder is ranked leaderboard featuring a challenge and response system that allows players to issue a challenge to another player in their tier of the Ladder. A challenge is basically a contest between two players where they both will need to finish a run using the same random seed and achievement profile. Each week, the tiers are adjusted based on your performance in challenges, allowing you to progress up the Ladder over time.

Launching November 27, In Death is priced at $29.99. During our launch week, PlayStation Plus members can pick up In Death at a 20% discount. Check out our store page here. See you in the Afterlife!

In Death Leaves Early Access October 2nd

The Sólfar team is incredibly excited to announce that In Death is leaving Early Access on Tuesday October 2nd. Its been an amazing journey with those of you who chose to support our efforts to perfect this game after we first went to Early Access last February. We’ve been hard at work adding new content and balancing our full release based on the frankly incredible hours our players have logged in game over the past few months.

On October 2nd, we will formally leave Early Access and deliver the new chapter, Paradise Lost that we teased a couple of weeks back at Gamescom. The all new Crossbow is ready and waiting for your shooting pleasure in your Sanctuary, and we hope you enjoy close quarters combat with it as much as we have. The scoring system in Challenges, our async multiplayer mode, has been tweaked and balanced with the great feedback you’ve given us, resulting in what he hope is a fair shot for all play styles to reach the pinnacle of the Ladder. And In Paradise Lost, you’ll encounter a fresh host of angelic and demonic antagonists, culminating in an epic boss fight with Gabriel the Fallen.

We also want to let you know that at Full Release on October 2, the retail price of In Death will increase from $19.99 to $29.99.  If  you’ve already purchased the game during Early Access, you will of course receive all of the new content at no additional charge. This does mean that if you’ve been thinking about jumping into In Death’s dream kingdom but haven’t crossed over yet, now would be a good moment to do so. And if you have friends that might like to get in on our game at the Early Access price, they can do so until October 2nd.

In Death is available now in Early Access for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality. In Death is in active development for PlayStation VR, with more news to follow soon on the PSVR launch date.

Find us on the In Death subreddit for feedback and more details as we near Full Release.

The Afterlife Is Getting Bigger

Dear Players,

For the last 6 months we have been actively working on new content for In Death and here is a sneak preview, which we revealed today with NVIDIA at Gamescom in Cologne. We are adding a whole new chapter to the game called Paradise Lost, which comes as a succession of Purgatory. There you will find new enemies in the form of cute cherubs harassing you from the air as well as banshees hitting your with their powerful magic. Finally, you will not get through Paradise Lost without dealing with the Archangel Gabriel that guards its exit.

To help you on this journey we also offer you the choice of a new weapon, the Crossbow. Dealing more short-range damage than the bow, you will appreciate its power but only when you get up close and personal. Yours is the choice.

We are fast approaching the Full Release of In Death, where you will as an Early Access player receive all of the new content for no additional charge. Expect more details on our full launch in the coming days and weeks. And thanks again for joining us in the Afterlife, your feedback has been a huge boost to our efforts.

Throw yourself into the pits of Damnation

Divine souls of Purgatory, I bear tidings.

My name is Petur “Scarpia” Thorarinsson, your faithful creative and game design lead for In Death. If you missed my inaugural In Death dev blog when we entered Early Access I recommend reading it here.

We here at Sólfar Studios are eternally grateful for the warm reception you’ve given In Death during Early Access. Much like we relied on our Beta testers to reach Early Access, we are relying on you to help us reach the stage where In Death can enter Full Launch. We have been hard at work incorporating your feedback into our designs, fixing the bugs you’ve found and developing new and exciting additions to In Death. Today we are ready to unveil two major additions, and what’s more important is that they’re included in today’s update so you will be able to get your hands on them immediately and tell us what you think!

The first of those additions is The Ladder system, a positively devilish new feature that pits you against other players in asynchronous ranked matchups. This feature is covered by Kjartan Emilsson in a dev blog aptly named The Ladder

The second addition to In Death we are launching today are the Pits of Damnation. In the god-forsaken afterlife, the constructs of heaven are crumbling, and entities long forgotten are emerging from the cracks. When you venture into Purgatory, you will occasionally encounter a fiery gate surrounded by wraiths that have escaped from one of the pits, evading eternal damnation.

If you dare enter one of these gates, you will be subject to the Pits of Damnation. In the Pits you will encounter new and harder enemies which you must overcome if you hope to escape. If you survive the punishment in the Pits it will be worth the effort as you’ll be rewarded handsomely before emerging back to Purgatory.

To go with this update, we are also adding a few new arrow types – so keep your eyes peeled for new tools to tear through your enemies!

For the sake of getting this new content in front of as many of you as possible, we chose not to lock any of it with achievements for the time being. This means that everything above is available to you as soon as you log into the game regardless of your achievement score.

That’s it for now, we have a lot more features and content on the horizon which we’re dying to tell you about, so stay tuned – it won’t be long!

Be wicked,
Scarpia

The Ladder

Hi, I am Kjartan Pierre Emilsson, CEO of Sólfar but also responsible for the online development of In Death. I am happy to present a new online asynchronous multiplayer feature that we have been working on these last couple of months. We hope you like it but we are also looking forward for suggestions for improvements.

As many mortal players might have noticed, getting a seat in the Pantheon of the All-time leaderboards can seem like an insurmountable endeavor and even the 24h board is difficult except for the most seasoned players. Showing your own global ranking is meaningless when you are lost within the masses, as it changes rapidly and gives you little sense on how you compare to your peers. This got us to think how we could make the crossing of the Styx a more enjoyable and social ride.

As it currently is, the leaderboard is based on gold collected within a run and the run itself is affected by the achievement profile of the player and the randomness of the level played. This means that using gold collected as the absolute measure of skill between two players is not completely fair, or it would only be so in a perfectly balanced game. A more fair assessment of the relative merits of two players is how they would compare in running the exact same run using the exact same achievement profiles. In that scenario we at least factor out some important starting conditions, leaving only player abilities to affect the result. This is why we are now introducing an additional leaderboard to the game which we call The Ladder.

To reach ultimate glory, you must climb The Ladder which is divided into several terraces. You start at the bottom terrace, called The Proud, working your way up until you finally reach your ultimate goal called The Lustful. Within each ladder you will be accompanied by a cohort of dozen other players that will stay with you while you dwell there. At any time, you can challenge other players by choosing them from the Ladder.

A challenge is basically a contest between two players where they both will need to finish a run using the same random seed and the same achievement profile. The achievement profile used is always the one of the challengee. This means that if you challenge someone that has progressed more than you, you will be able to make a run using unlocks not normally available to you, but you will also face the steeper difficulty curve of enemies.

Once both parties have finished their run, the system determines the winner by choosing the better of the two runs and updates their relative ranking accordingly.

When you look at the ladder, you will sometimes see red blinking entries. These are pending challenges from other players that you need to respond to.

The small colored notches by each player in the ladder is a relative measure of their strength. Three red notches means that this is probably a player you will have a tough time beating, but the reward if you do is proportionally much bigger (and their loss as well). The same goes with green notches, meaning that they should be relatively easy for you, but you won't gain much in challenging them. The little icon next to the terrace name gives you a list of recent challenge activity so you can see what happened while you were away.

At regular dates (Friday and Monday) we have Reckonings, where the overall progress of players in the ladder will be reassessed which for some will mean moving up a terrace, while other might fall back down. As you climb up to higher and higher terraces, the total number of players competing gets smaller and smaller until you reach the ultimate terrace of The Lustful, where only 12 compete globally for the heavenly throne.

Within such a reckoning period you can only challenge each user in your cohort exactly once (and they can of course challenge you back). If you don't respond to a challenge within the period, you will be considered the loser of the challenge, so there is no rest for the wicked. At most you might be forced to play 11 runs (challenges from others) and you can then play an additional 11 (challenges to other). Note that challenges issued less than 24 hours before end of period will not result in loss if not responded to. This it to avoid players challenging others just before the end of a period, leaving them with no option to respond.

Systems like these that involve interaction between players take time to polish so we kindly ask for your patience while we find out the right balance of fun and difficulty along with better presentation of data and results.

Death Is Not The End

Glorious phantoms of the afterlife, welcome to In Death!

My name is Petur Thorarinsson (aka Scarpia) and I am the person responsible for In Death’s creative vision and game design here at Solfar Studios. Previously a resident at CCP Games for over a decade working on various titles and ultimately serving as game design director for EVE Online, before making a joyous leap to Solfar two years ago straight into the deep end of VR development.

After running an awesome closed beta since mid December, we are excited and proud to be bringing In Death to Early Access. This was made possible by our dedicated group of beta testers that helped us improve and refine our game to the point where it is ready for a much wider audience. There is still a lot to be done and more content to be added, and during this next phase we will continue relying on our players’ invaluable feedback to help steer us in the right direction and continuously evaluate what will make In Death the best it can possibly be.

By the end of 2016, after the initial launch of Everest VR, we decided to incorporate some of the learnings we had received to hone our plans for our first VR game. We felt like the current sentiment in the VR gamer community was that people were starving for a hard core VR game, with high replay value. An old school game that was unpredictable, tough as nails, kill-me-plenty demoralizer and unapologetic destroyer of dreams. Incidentally, this was also the game we wanted to play ourselves, so we pivoted to explore a new concept which ultimately became In Death.

We have a deeply rooted passion for building immersive experiences; worlds filled with beauty and lush environments. For increased immersion we wanted to rely on physical skills and real-world metaphors as much as possible to minimize the game’s needs for immersion breaking UI elements. To this end, we started looking for fun and strategic solutions to incorporate locomotion into the core game loop.

The defining prototype was tested and reviewed by the whole team on our last day before breaking off for the holidays in 2016. We had made a massive procedurally generated world in the sky that was crawling with wraiths. As a player, you had a bow and a shield, and two types of arrows. One arrow to kill enemies with and one arrow to teleport with.

The ‘aha’ moment came when we realized how impactful and rewarding it was to weave these simple mechanics together to beat tough situations. Since the player only moved once the teleport arrow made impact, meant that they had a moment to block, retaliate or ready their next arrow while the teleport arrow was still in the air. Upon a successfully aimed teleport, a skillful player could already be lined up perfectly for his next shot when the movement happened to score a point-blank headshot in the back of his enemy’s skull. Furthermore, a poorly aimed teleport arrow could trap the player in hellish situations.

We felt like the game genre that would synergize best with our prototype and creative vision, was to design In Death as a Dantean journey with heavy rogue-like elements, supported by a deep achievement-based progression system that gradually unlocked new gameplay options and greater challenges for the player from one playthrough to the next.

True to rogue-like games, In Death has procedurally generated worlds, filled with random enemy encounters and loot. When you die, apart from an entry to the global leaderboard, your progression in that playthrough is permanently lost. Your account progression however is persisted in the form of achievements you gradually unlock (sometimes over multiple playthroughs). All achievements in-turn unlock new items you can find in subsequent playthroughs and higher baseline character stats. Additionally, new and tougher enemies will start populating the world as you unlock more achievements. If you let an inexperienced friend try out In Death using your high-level account, unless you want them to transform into a blood-soaked pincushion within the first few seconds, make sure to launch the game in demo mode and have them play through the tutorial.

In Death is not for the faint of heart, but we hope you’ll muster up the courage to plant your feet in the afterlife.

Yours In Death and beyond,

Scarpia

In Death is available both on Steam and Oculus Home

EVEREST VR Now Available On PlayStation VR.

EVEREST VR, the premiere virtual reality experience from Sólfar Studios, in partnership with Nordic visual effects house RVX, is now available on PlayStation VR (PS VR). Hailed by critics for its stunningly immersive content, EVEREST VR invites users to explore the breathtaking landscape of Mt. Everest through a multitude of vantage points and first-person experiences. Following momentous launches on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, EVEREST VR is making its way to PlayStation VR and can be downloaded now from the PlayStation Store.

“When we set out to develop EVEREST VR, our mission was to traverse a new frontier for virtual reality,” said Kjartan Pierre Emilsson, co-founder and CEO of Sólfar Studios. “We wanted to push the boundaries of what VR technology is capable of doing and create an immersive experience so realistic that it evokes an emotional response. Since its initial release for HTC Vive last year, we have continued to expand upon EVEREST VR with exciting new content. We’re thrilled to be able to have PlayStation VR users summit Mt. Everest in VR, starting today.”

EVEREST VR guides adventurers through a sequence of first-person experiences while ascending Mt. Everest. The journey includes notable milestones and interactive events including Base Camp, the Khumbu Icefall, Hillary Step, Lhotse Face, and the ascent to the Summit. PlayStation VR users can choose to experience EVEREST VR with either the PlayStation Move motion controllers or the DUALSHOCK 4.

Since its release in August 2016, EVEREST VR has received significant updates, including the expansion of God Mode which offers players sweeping views of Mt. Everest and the surrounding mountain ranges at scales ranging from 1500x to 1x resolution. The team has recently added 18 different historical expedition routes to God Mode, including the 1953 British Expedition when Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful summit of Everest. In these scenes featured in God Mode, users can view the route via a collection of stunning high resolution color photographs from the expedition, often from the same vantage point that the original photograph was taken. Photographs from the 1953 British Expedition are provided courtesy of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), who earlier this year accepted Sólfar’s charitable donation of the EVEREST VR, which will be held as part of the Society’s Everest Collection.

EVEREST VR JOINS WITH THE ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY (WITH IBG) THROUGH THE SOCIETY’S EVEREST COLLECTION

Sólfar Studios announces charitable donation of EVEREST VR to support the application of Virtual Reality in the Society’s Collections-related educational outreach and training programmes.

February 15, 2017 (Reykjavík, Iceland) -Sólfar Studios, the Icelandic VR studio behind the critically-acclaimed virtual reality experience EVEREST VR, announced today that the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) has accepted Sólfar’s charitable donation of the EVEREST VR application, which will be held as part of the Society’s Everest Collection.

EVEREST VR was initially released in 2016 and was widely hailed as a breath-taking representation of the experience of climbing Mount Everest in VR. Sólfar continued to extend the experience’s educational utility by incorporating 18 historical expedition routes into a real-time 3D map of the mountain that participants can follow at their own pace and traverse the mountain at scales ranging from 1:1 to 1500:1 metres. No depiction of such expeditions would be complete without the famous 1953 British Expedition, where Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to successfully summit Everest.

“As we became familiar with the work of the Society, and the wonderful collection of photographs held in their Everest Collection, we set out to include photographs from the 1953 Expedition within our VR experience such that viewers could gain a stronger appreciation of the setting for this historical moment in mankind's urge to explore the unknown,” commented Kjartan Pierre Emilsson co-founder and CEO at Sólfar. “The unique ability of VR to transport us to impossible places is something we strongly believe in and we're deeply honoured that the Society feels VR has this potential to support their mission.” 

The donation of EVEREST VR is meant to support the Society’s contemporary charitable and educational work in promoting awareness and knowledge of its historical Mount Everest-related Collections. These will include presentations and demonstrations for public audiences, schools, academic and research communities in the UK, linked to the Society’s Everest Collection. Further uses include a training function.

“We are delighted to receive this generous donation and using historic stills imagery from our Everest-related photographic collection within the virtual reality environment provides added context and value for the viewer”, said Alasdair MacLeod, Head of Enterprise and Resources at the Society.

The donation of EVEREST VR to the RGS-IBG is made possible by the generous support of HTC, NVIDIA and Scan Computers, with each company contributing the high performance VR and PC hardware needed to form the Virtual Reality system required for EVEREST VR to be displayed alongside the Society´s Everest Collection.

Peter Frolund, VP for VR (Europe) at HTC commented, “Everest VR offers a spectacular journey to the top of the earth, showcasing stunning visual fidelity combined with room-scale technology, which allows players to walk around the virtual space, only possible on HTC Vive. Virtual reality is an incredible tool to explore and discover real life environments few have had the chance to visit first hand, and we are thrilled to support the Royal Geographic Society’s Everest Collection with HTC Vive.”

“Conquering Mount Everest is on the bucket list of many climbers and adrenaline junkies, but only a few will ever have the chance to scale it,” says Jason Paul, General Manager for Virtual Reality at NVIDIA.  “NVIDIA has worked closely with Solfar Studios to bring advanced effects such as NVIDIA Turbulence and VRWorks to EverestVR so aspiring adventurers can experience a virtual Everest that is as close as possible to the real climb.  We’re very excited to support this experience and see it part of the Society’s Everest Collection.”

More Everest, Deeper Experience, Lower Price

When we first conceived of EVEREST VR, our goals were to use the evocative power of VR to recreate some of the key emotions involved in summiting the highest peak in the world but also to use the technology to allow people to engage with geography and history in a completely new way.

With this second major free update of EVEREST VR we give you a little bit of both.

Some of the major changes are in the mode called 'God Mode' that you can access directly right from the lobby. Many of you asked us if it was possible to climb the whole mountain at a human scale. The new God mode was specifically conceived to give users the freedom to explore the terrain in any way they saw fit and engage with geographical and historical data immersively. All of this you access by moving naturally within the whole mountain range with the very important addition that you can now choose at which scale you experience it. Thus you can choose to go all the way down to a 1:1 scale where you can see other climbers and major camps and where each step and hop on the terrain will correspond to real life locomotion.

But you can also become a mile-high giant, straddling the peaks like they were small mounds in a sandbox. Experiencing terrain in such an immersive way at different scales gives you a completely new appreciation for the topology and the nuances of different parts of the mountain.

On the historical side, we are proud to be able to include photographic material from the actual 1953 Hillary Expedition courtesy of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) in London. This material can be accessed from various info points along the path to the summit in God Mode and are positioned in such a way as to reflect where they were originally taken during the iconic expedition where Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first reached the summit. We have also included 18 of the best known routes used to summit so that you can get a feel for the various strategies used to conquer the mountain.

On the experiential side, we added one key moment in the summiting that we always thought was missing: The  ascent of Lhotse Face. This part of the climb is both technical and physically punishing, ending in the infamous Death Zone. Rising between Camp 2 and Camp 4, Lhotse Face is a nearly vertical wall of ice 1,500m (5,000 feet) high. The roped ascent is usually done in two phases with one night spent in Camp 3, perched precariously right on the icy face itself. In this experience you will go from Camp 3 and up to Camp 4 along with a group of climbers in a single row. We feel that with this addition, you now have a fairly accurate collection of all the key moments of climbing Everest. If you´ve personally made Summit, do let us know whether we captured the most meaningful moments. If not, we think this is as close as most of us will get.

Finally, we have decided offer EVEREST VR at the same price of $14.99 across all platforms. And this update is of course free for our existing customers.

We hope you enjoy this addition to our product and thanks for all of your excellent feedback. Onwards, upwards.

SÓLFAR STUDIOS ANNOUNCES EVEREST VR

Sólfar and RVX Take Virtual Reality to New Heights

SAN FRANCISCO, HELSINKI, November 2015 -- Sólfar Studios today announced they are bringing EVEREST VR to virtual reality platforms in 2016.  In partnership with RVX - Nordic’s leading visual effects and animation house - the two companies are co-developing a VR experience like no other. 

“In forming this VR expeditionary force with RVX, our mission is to construct the definitive experience of what it feels like to summit Mount Everest, an epic feat that most will never attempt in the real world,” said Kjartan Pierre Emilsson CEO and co-founder at Sólfar. “By combining incomparable visual fidelity with real player agency and interactivity, EVEREST VR will immerse you in a virtual reality that feels both real and emotionally stunning.”

The premise of EVEREST VR is simple. Preparing for your expedition at Basecamp, you will traverse the Khumbu Icefalls, scale Lhotse Face, ascend the Hillary Step, and finally conquer the summit of Everest. You will learn to respect the mountain, you may even survive the encounter. You will leave the experience feeling like you were there. 

EVEREST VR is poised to generate huge interest from VR fans, with virtual exploration set to become the breakthrough application on VR platforms launching in 2016. In a survey of 2,250 U.S. consumers published by Greenlight VR today, travel and exploration categories registered the highest interest across all age, gender, and ethnicity groups, garnering the interest of 66% of respondents, higher than gaming. 

The partnership between Sólfar and RVX brings together a stellar team from the games and film industries to deliver an industry first experience in VR. Combining the best technology the games and film industry have to offer with a masterfully scripted AAA VR experience, Solfar and RVX have created an emotionally stunning and truly immersive VR journey. 

“As a creative director in the VFX industry working with phenomenal directors like Baltasar Kormákur and Alfonso Cuarón, I´ve always strived to perfect visual effects that add verisimilitude to the story and increase its emotional impact,” said Dadi Einarsson, founder and Creative Director at RVX. “With EVEREST VR, we now place the participant into a story where they control their pace and interaction with the experience. This will rewrite the rules for future storytellers and I can´t wait to see where this creative intersection of film and games talent in VR takes us.” 

EVEREST VR pushes the envelope of real-time graphics. Using advanced stereophotogrammetry techniques, the two studios have created the definitive CGI model of Everest for high-end VR platforms. Using NVIDIA‘s GeForce GTX TITAN X GPU to churn through over 300,000 high resolution images of the mountain range, a highly detailed 3D point cloud of the whole area was created. They then generated a 3D mesh and textures made to measure for the demands of a real-time VR application.

Sólfar and NVIDIA will further collaborate during the production of EVEREST VR to integrate GameWorks VR including VR SLI and multi-resolution shading and to take advantage of VR-ready PCs equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 GPUs on up to GeForce GTX TITAN X in SLI.

Building on this stunning visual backdrop in Unreal Engine 4, EVEREST VR will bring a level of interactivity and player agency that promises to become an apex experience for this new medium. 

Published by Sólfar, EVEREST VR will debut in 2016.
