Son of Nor is now available for Early Access
on Steam (you can tell
because he has Nor's eyes), offering a first crack at this first-person
action/adventure that features telekenesis and terraforming. The news is
celebrated by
this trailer
and the 10% preorder bonus this currently carries. Here's word on how this
works:
Son of Nor’s dynamic game world features novel game mechanics like
terraforming and telekinesis, which can be combined by the player. This unique
ability to combine features allows players a new level of creativity in their
actions. As players experience the world of Noshrac in Early Access, they will
gain access to 14 levels of fully functional gameplay. The final launch will
support various gadgets, including the Tobii eye tracker and Oculus.
Multi-player (4 person) and local co-op (2 person) via split screen are also
supported.
In Son of Nor, a new level of technical achievement has been reached with its
sophisticated terraforming game mechanic. Developed by Mautner, a Physics
graduate, the algorithm powers the simulation of sand flow and interacts with
physical objects in a natural way. In this dynamic game world, one can
manipulate sand, move and throw objects, tear out rocks from canyon walls and
even pick up enemies to place them where they wish.
