Angels of Amsterdam

Censored part of a cinematic VR experience. It uses a mix of volumetric videos and 3D environments that looks horribly deformed half of the time. Which has been totally avoidable: many other VR movies use similar techniques with little to no issues. And acting is way too artsy for my taste: some parts look more like a weird interpretive dance rather than theatrical performance. Works on Reverb G2

WMR. Тем кто любит театр. Самый взрослый контент не включен. А само видео выглядит очень хорошо. Иногда объекты чуть рвет на краях, но это и все недостатки. Текстуры, пламя, масштаб - реалистичные.

"Angels of Amsterdam" is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this "art experience". Instead of being a game, "Angels of Amsterdam" is a software application that presents a poorly made art exhibition. Todays non-game art exhibition is a VR "experience", basically a VR movie from Amsterdam with a few FMV sequences and some average assets representing a "tavern" environment. You experience 4 chapters in this Youtube movie, but they're very short, this is a 15 minute Youtube video, barely interactive, and certainly not a game. We get this non-game shovelware on Steam whenever film school dropouts are desperate for anyone to give them validation, so they publish their short film on Steam because nobody watches their garbage on Youtube. There was a video section on Steam, but it's deprecated and basically closed, so failed filmmakers seem to just try to abuse the Steam games section instead. Why is this good for gamers? It's not. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software/non-game "art experiences" on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a non-game "art experience"/Youtube video being published in the wrong place. Publishing Youtube videos on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 130 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB shows this peaked at [b]only 2 concurrent viewers[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. There are no gameplay loops in this rejected film school dropout exhibition, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. As such, this has no merit as a video game for gamers, and so I cannot recommend this non-game as a game to gamers.
