• You play as a human avatar controlling a toy sword fighter by remote control.

Directions

• For instructions on how to setup the network see Multiplayer Setup below.
• This is a two player game. A single player can play but won't have anyone to fight.
• To start the game each player must "Press Enter To Play".
• Without a VR headset you can only look forward.

Notes

• I could not test VR because I don't have a VR headset.
• Couch Knights was originally designed for Oculus Rift DK2 using Oculus SDK (0.3.3-pre.1 SDK). I assume Oculus Rift should work but I am not sure if other headsets work.
• If anyone tries the game with Oculus Rift could you let me know in the comments if it works.

Version 1.0

• Known Bug: On the host it does not show "Press Enter To Play" after the first game ends and it starts a new game.
• Known Bug: On the client"Press Enter To Play" stays on screen after the first game ends and it starts a new game.

Technical

• Unreal Engine Version 4.11.2

Design

• This game is based on Unreal Engine 4 Couch Knights and so far I didn't make any changes to the  Couch Knights game play for version A.
• Couch Knights had to be packaged for development so network setup would work from the command line or console. In order to package ToySwordFightA for shipping I added a menu for network setup.
• I used 4.11.2 because there were several problems upgrading to newer versions.

Multiplayer Setup

• If you run the host and client on the same PC for testing you don't need to setup port forward.
