As always, you can explore any of these awesome new locations using your DK2 in Anarchy Arcade. It's really exciting because some of these games do not have native VR support themselves so it is the first time these maps will be seen in VR.
AArcade's most recent update adds 5 new mountable games to its Mount Content menu. This means you'll be able to use the amazing maps and models from these 5 new games to create your own arcade masterpieces with! Not only are you able to use the stock content, but you are also able to use the community addon content created for them directly from their game folder! No extra copies required!
Thanks to a behind-the-scenes revamping of AArcade's workshop & built-in publishing tool, you will be able to build and share your arcades from your favorite maps such as de_dust2, 2fort, Facility, etc. If the workshop package you create requires a particular game to be mounted, your thumbnail image is automatically branded with that game's logo so everybody can see what is required just by looking at it!
Mounting content is easy! Just fire up AArcade and click on Mount Content. It will automatically show a list of mountable games that are associated with your Steam account! Make sure you have them installed, then put a check mark next to them. That's it! Now you're ready to use all of the great stock & community content from those games!
Many of these games are FREE and provide hours and hours of gameplay themselves, then when you're finished playing you can use their maps and assets in your personal 3D desktop! Double win!So, without further adieu, let's take a closer look at the amazing games who's content can now be mounted in AArcade:
Double Action is a very fun over-the-top shoot-em-up action style deathmatch game. The development team is lead by Vino, one of the guys who worked on the original The Specialist mod for HL1. Also on their dev team is Black_Stormy, the man responsible for some of the awesome new cabinet models to hit AArcade recently.
This amazing remake of the classic Nintendo 64 game GoldenEye is a must-have for any PC gamer. Not only is it a quality throwback to a landmark FPS, but it has been revamped to provide new and exciting game modes. The maps and models themselves are PERFECT for building your personal 3D desktops with. Live inside of Facility. Your childhood dreams have come true.
This team-based combat game runs extremely deep. There is a real learning curve and it provides many hours of entertainment because of this. Noobs be warned, you will be bad at first. The maps and models themselves are astounding with lots of glow effects and atmosphere. Perfect if you feel like relaxing in these locations after the killin's through.
This is a very fun zombie survival game. You progress through the world like in L4D, except that instead of running through a ghost town, there are actually objectives and events that you must accomplish to progress. The environments are very eerie and foreboding. You'd have to be one sick puppy to want to set up your arcade in one of these grim maps...
This is a classic WWII game, multiplayer, and still very fun to play even though it's been around for a long time. Building arcades in these maps takes some real creativity.
Honorable Mention: Garry's Mod
You are able to mount Garry's Mod stock content now. However, this doesn't mean much since Garry's Mod stock content is just the construct and a couple weird models. However, in the future AArcade will be able to mount some of your custom Garry's Mod maps and models as well. Don't expect full GMod compatibility though because Garry's Mod is a huge, weird game that itself is based around using addons.
Kickstarter to Extend Development
AArcade is set to release on Christmas so I am crunching everything I can into it before this date. However, I am running a Kickstarter to raise the money I'd need to keep working on it non-stop for an additional month! Check out it out here and pledge any amount that you can to help keep AArcade in full-time development:
