I made a Giant Robot Motion Control Game

I wanted to control a giant robot in a game, so I made a full body motion controller with wiimotes!
I used 5 wiimotes in total, 4 Nintendo wiimotes with wii motion plus to track the arms and a balance board to manage the feet, all connected to my computer.
The game itself is made with Unity and various frameworks (sources below)

[@Refreshment01]

Except they already did. The Labo Robot Kit is exactly that. At what point it was been sold for 20 on clearance. Jelle could take some pointers from that game on how to handle rotation of the body >;D

My room: deserted Jelle's room: making games, doing jams, popping pimples, being a robot, graduating students, riding bikes, rushing ina shopping cart, getting crazy with aurodino, being robots, boxing practice, trying to break rules of 3d, and many more

[@JelleVermandere]

I really need a bigger room ;)

[@fantaniac638]

Do you think a 4d room would work? You would just have a big slider on the wall that would phase things in and out of existence, just like in that game you made.

This is amazing! Also, it reminds me of that Wii U giant robot game that ended up becoming a Labo game for the Switch. Now just imagine how cool it would be in VR...

[@otto8770]

Jelle you are the greatest! You truly got me into coding hoping to become as good as you!

Thanks, I’m sure you’ll get much better than me in the future!

[@otto8770]

:O jelle is such a chad

[@Bread_Art]

this is cooler than the nintendo labo version! I know that labo kit 2 has more functions, but this is more controllable, and shows that nobody needs vr (even though it is more advanced) and that you can make this. Edit: Thx for The heart

You should have added a laser arm which you would use to destroy enemies if you aren’t a person who likes melee weapons and all that. The way to control it would be to press a button on the nunchuck.
