Get The Falconeer for Free [Jul 04, 2024, 11:37 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Falconeer: Standard Edition is now available for free on the
Epic Games Store
as this week's giveaway. The twist in this aerial combat game is that you play as a bird rather
than a pilot. It's for keeps as long as you lay claim by next week, when the
store will begin handing out free copies of
Floppy
Knights. Here's
The Falconeer Launch Trailer with a look and here's more:
Soar through the skies aboard a majestic warbird, explore a stunning oceanic world and engage in epic aerial dogfights, in this BAFTA nominated air combat game from solo developer, Tomas Sala.
You take on the role of Falconeer, a powerful airborne warrior traversing a vast oceanic world torn apart by generations of poisonous decisions and dissent. Throughout multiple campaigns, you will experience life from many different perspectives and loyalties as you embark on a journey of discovery, and solve the mystery of the Ursee, its people and history.
Progress through perilous missions and side quests, wielding your lightning caster to protect ships against pirates, kraken and other threats. Dive through the deep ocean depths, soar above the clouds to do battle with giant crab cities or engage in furious dogfights against the mysterious Mancer Order that controls and regulates technology.

Google Earth in VR, if you haven't, you should look at it.
Re Falcon Age, great game in VR, but i don't think the epic version works in VR.
Nope, no mention of VR in the Epic listing. It's 80% off ($3.99) on Steam with VR support, so I'm grabbing it there. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure I got it on EGS and got it to work with Virtual Desktop.

Dammit I always wanted to make a VR bird flying game but whilst I can program I am bloody awful at art so never have. Snagged for sure.
There's a VR game where you're an actual falconeer. I always thought that was this game, so I ignored it because I already have the other one. Ah yes, Falcon Age that one is called.
There's also a VR game where you're a bird called Eagle Flight, which looks sweet but I've never tried it. It's old for a VR game. 2016.
Anyway, claimed this one. Looks interesting so maybe I'll give it a shot next! I just finished the first campaign of Crime Boss: Rockay City which is pretty addictive and I definitely recommend it for the deep sale it's in right now on Steam.

If George Plimpton isn't involved in this game, then I'm simply not interested at all.

I always marvel at the skill of individual developers because they have to program and be a 3D artist. From what little I understand about game development it seems that there is very little overlap between those two skills. Have you tried any of the game engines that can use pre-built assets? The use of assets gets a bad rap because so many hacks just buy them, plug them in as is (whether they make sense thematically or not) and put their "game" up on Steam for 99¢. A skilled programmer who cares about adherence to tone and theme can use them very effectively with just a little care and love. I used to have a list of unique and stunning indie games that used pre-bought assets but you could never tell because the developer actually gave a shit. But I don't know if that would work for your game.

Find a partner artist. Personally I'd love to start a VR tourism company. All the great museums and buildings of the world. That would be a great use for VR. I like the look of this game at any rate so I'll give it a whirl.

roguebanshee wrote on Jul 4, 2024, 13:05:That makes sense - I just never noticed before. The game was already released in May so it shouldn't be an issue.Prez wrote on Jul 4, 2024, 13:01:That's standard for any game not yet on EGS being next week's freebie. The game will launch on EGS next week in time for it to be available as a freebie (unless something goes wrong).
Interestingly the next game, "Floppy Knights" shows "coming soon" for me. Considering it is supposed to be available a week from now they had better hurry up.

Hmm. This actually looks pretty interesting. Snagged!
