FAQ: Yes, We Support Kinect
Q: …This game supports Kinect?
Yes!.On PC only, if you plug iri a Kinect 2.0 to-your computer while the game is:apen, you-tan play through the entirety of the game using Kinect controls. Grab meat with your meat harids! Your body is the controller! We live in the future. Good luck.
Q:Is Kinect the optirnal way to play Space Warlord Organ Tradirig Simulator? Absolutely not.
Q: Why would | play a fast-paced reflex-based economic tycoon using Kinect?
| have no earthly idea, but | am personally sending the first person to direct message me documented proof of using a Kinect to play through the entirety of the campaign, (reaching the “The Top 0.1%” reputation level) a $50 Steam gift card. Primarily so I can. meet the kind of person who would do that to themselves, and plead with them for mercy lest they destroy us all.
Q: How did you put Kinect support into a game in 20217
| work with a brilliant, slightly unhinged creative programmer named Sam Chiet,. and one day, at 3 AM, | blearily opened my phone to find a video.of the game working with full functionality on a Kinect. And a tablet. And a Wiimote. You know, for the Nintendo Wii (2007).
He apparently did ail of those experiments in one night just because he cold, and Has since dedicated a large portion of his time to single-handedly becoming the final Kinect developer. | decided the safest option was to stay out of his way.
Q: Why did you put Kinect support into a game in 2021? | embrace the Sun with arms outstretched so that my oblivion will be. one og my own choosing.
I feel only slightly less ridiculous asking for Steam Controller support in games 😆 But I will keep asking because I fucking love that controller.
I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I’d bought more, just to be safe.
Oh shoot why were they discontinued?
Lack of sales IIRC. They’re very neat but kind of niche because of their non-standard layout, they were aiming to be a keyboard/mouse replacement instead of “just another controller”. Extremely customizable control schemes too.
Would absolutely love a 2.0 one based off the Steam Deck or something.
