Starship Disco Releases
January 17, in the year of our Lord 2017 –
San Mateo, California – Solus Games, a San Mateo, California
based independent game developer announced today the release of
Starship DiscoTM from Early Access on Steam. The company also
announced the release of new game features through a version
update across all platforms, including HTC Vive, Oculus Rift,
and PlayStation VR.
Starship Disco offers an exciting, intergalactic, VR experience
where players take on the role of a starship pilot shooting
alien enemies to the rhythm of the music. The rhythm is dictated
by embedded tracks as well as any imported music tracks creating
endless dynamic game play. Starship Disco provides immersive
music powered graphics and the game controls are intuitive and
comfortable by way of the 2 HTC Vive controllers, the Oculus
Touch controllers, or the PlayStation Move controllers. Scoring
is dictated by the player’s ability to accurately shoot the
enemy target precisely to the rhythm of the music.
Starship Disco launched to Early Access on Steam in Fall 2016
and on PlayStation VR in December 2016. Following great
reception and valuable input from the community, additional
features and gameplay enhancements have been added to Starship
Disco and have been released on Steam for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift,
and PlayStation VR. Notable feature additions include an
enhanced algorithm for precise user music beat tracking,
additional difficulty settings to address all gamer capability
levels, and a special mode to accommodate colorblind gamers.
"As a one-man, independent game developer, I’m excited to
deliver a unique, music-driven experience for VR gaming in
Starship Disco,” said Richard (Rico) Stenson, President of Solus
Games. "My goal is to create an engaging VR game that people can
appreciate while enjoying their own music playlists. I think
that combo provides a very special experience in VR gaming. The
release of Starship Disco from Early Access is exciting and I
think the feature enhancements I’ve made makes the game more
enjoyable for all players.”
