VELOCIBLASTER FAQ

1. What is VELOCIBLASTER?

VELOCIBLASTER is a multiplayer VR sci-fi shooter (PvP FPS) where you BLAST away your enemies as a sentient velociraptor wielding high-tech blaster cannons. Fly with rocket thrusters, master vertical combat, and outmaneuver your raptor rivals to claim victory!

In this alternate reality, Velociraptors are the dominant, sentient species. The catastrophic asteroid never struck Earth, allowing these cunning dinosaurs to evolve and develop advanced technology. Eventually, they took to the skies to battle it out in high-stakes aerial combat!

As a sentient velociraptor, you wield two high-tech blaster cannons that can switch weapon modes and fire a variety of exotic, projectile-based weapons. Your blaster cannons are also equipped with rocket thrusters, allowing you to fly around (similar to a jet pack). Check out our trailer to see VELOCIBLASTER in action!

2. Can I play VELOCIBLASTER right now? If not, when?

5. What weapons will be in the game?

We've developed a projectile-based weapon system in such a way that allows us to create a variety of super fun, exotic weapon types. We'll continue to add more weapons (and are open to new weapon suggestions from the community via the Discord server) but so far we have:

  1. Plasma Cannon - The "standard issue" weapon that shoots balls of plasma energy.
  2. Pulse Blaster - A rapid fire (fully-automatic) weapon that shoots energy bolts. (It's very fun to chase someone down with this 😁)
  3. Ice Blaster - A weapon that shoots ice shards in a shotgun-style pattern. Deadly at closer range.
  4. ElectroBolt - A lightning bolt electricity weapon. Slower fire rate but it's pretty accurate and deals significant damage.

You can see all of these weapons in action in our trailer!

6. What else can we expect?

For the alpha, we're focusing on core gameplay and getting the core weapon lineup feeling good, but in the future we plan to add power-ups as pickups that you can find in the map. 🙂 Some potential ideas for power-ups are: double damage, unlimited ammo, temporary invincibility, temporary invisibility, radar, and turbo jet speed. In the future, we also want to have a variety of fun and interesting maps!

We're building VELOCIBLASTER alongside our community, so if you have any ideas, please drop a suggestion in our Discord server!
