Very cool kickstarter video for a proper sword playing game with a Gabe Newell cameo no less"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a>First off, the idea.\u00a0 If you have ever played any sword playing game you know it pretty much sucks.\u00a0 Triggers for a sword? Really?\u00a0 I was hoping that the Wii or perhaps the xBox would make this better.\u00a0 But not.\u00a0 So the guys at the\u00a0Subutai Corporation<\/a> decided to do something about this by creating a kickstarter project called Clang<\/a>.\u00a0 They are creating a SDK and controller for better sword based games.\u00a0 But not just creating a controller, but incorporating the various elements of sword play into the SDK.\u00a0 No small feat. Based on the video they are taking a heuristic approach by trying to incorporate body movement as well as sword position and acceleration.\u00a0 But the cool part is the video they created.\u00a0 Heck, the vid alone must have been around 10k to produce.<\/p>\n

And that is the part you need to check out.\u00a0 Its a pretty good vid.\u00a0 Not since the Best F**cking razor blade<\/a> video have I’ve seen such a cool, fun video for a new product.\u00a0 So check it out at the end of the post.<\/p>\n

This is a kickstarted project so they are trying to raise money for the project.\u00a0 Aside from the video being cool, the project its self is pretty great as well.\u00a0 They are really trying to take HCI element of sword fighting to the next level, or first level for those of you who think we have not even scratched the surface.\u00a0 They just crossed the $100k level but need to hit $500k.\u00a0 There is 28 days left, so if they can keep this rate, they should make it.\u00a0 Be sure to watch the ‘in the weeds’ video as well where they go into more detail of how this will work.<\/p>\n
