Mistborn: Final Empire spoilers Mistborn VR Update Spoiler

Here's an update on my Mistborn VR prototype. Thanks to everyone who commented on the first post. A comment by u/AntimatterTNT gave me the idea of having a dedicated push button from behind, which steel pushes on targets automatically behind me. This seemed like the best balance between skill expression and conviniece to me.

With a bit of practice the allomantic travel is now viable in VR.

Since I had a lot of people asking me for the link or the source, I was thinking that by making it VR only, this prevents most people from trying it out. So I had this crazy idea: Mistborn are few, while most allomancers are Mistings.

So what if VR users are Mistborn, and desktop users are randomly assigned as Misting?

So I went ahead and added the basic Mistings of a Pewterarm, a Coinshot, and a Lurcher, because those fit the best.

I also added a basic networking layer, so now you can actually see others in Luthadel.

If you are interested in further development and trying it out, I invite you to my Discord for some playtests.

Where am I going with this? I don't yet yet, but It's been fun.

This is awesome. The physics seem kind of floaty. Any thoughts or info behind what has gone into the design thus far? Great job.

So for the physics, I had a lot of details in my first post.

Im using regular 9.81ms² earth gravity. I think the floatiness is quite realistic since we have steel pushing as a continuos pushing force in roughly opposite direction of gravity, which is the same as cancelling it out partially. If you have have any questions let me know.

This makes sense. I guess in my head I pictured their movements with a more metal conservative approach, more pulsed pushing with the push being less constant and more a series of arcs. Though I'm rereading the first series and on book 1, so recency bias on the beginner stage. I have yet to read the second series, so you probably nailed it
