Tiny Build Games showed off a new game at PAX East that has an interesting game mechanic that utilities VR and Twitch integration. Stage Presence puts you in the shoes of the lead singer of a band and in the middle of your awesome concert, the power goes out! The only thing working on stage is your mic and it’s up to you to keep the crowd happy.
- Keep a crowd entertained for as long as possible, simply with the power of your voice
- An incredible VR experience that will give you virtual stage fright
- The crowd will love you… or they’ll hate you and boo you off stage
- Full story mode and unlock system with multiple venues to work your way through
- Invite friends into the crowd online, and let them throw bottles of piss at you
- Stream the game on Twitch, and let the Twitch chat take control of the crowd
The mechanics reminds me a lot of Rock Band, where you have to keep scoring well on a song to keep the crowd happy. But the trailer doesn’t really show how you are to keep the crowd happy short of just talking into the mic. And while I really like the Twitch chat integration, it will probably not matter how well you are doing because chat is just going to troll you any way and throw stuff at you for fun. Stage Presence is slated to come out on Steam and Oculus this summer.
