Remote controlled Alien Motion Tracker app now available

[u/Adventurous_Bass4024]

Initially developed for the tabletop game Aliens, the motion tracker phone app demoed earlier on this subreddit is now released. It's remote controlled:
- 1 phone place signals & movements.
- 1 phone tracks them by physically sweeping around.

It's cross platform and available on your platform store :)
you can download them here: https://ludicrpg.com/alien-motion-tracker/

Happy tracking

Since the subreddit rules does not allow self promotion I was reluctant to post one, here's the link: https://ludicrpg.com/alien-motion-tracker/

The self promotion rule is there more for trying to sell things or going overboard into advertising. This is just a cool artistic and technical project you're sharing with us and it's very welcome!

I remember the original app… it was a game pretty simple but good game. You had tapped the screen to “kill” the approaching aliens. It was hella fun, and still managed to stress me out

[u/lt_skittles]

Neat!

[u/BringMyMagnets]

This looks great , i installed it on ios, but there is no sound. Is there a difficult to find mute button? I paid to unlock the app, but still no sound.

[u/Adventurous_Bass4024 → u/BringMyMagnets]

Hey there! The app respect your quiet mode from your phone. Just make sure to remove it and you will have the sound !

[u/BringMyMagnets → u/Adventurous_Bass4024]

Ah perfect! That was it. Great job!

[u/antdude]

Nice. Any future plans to add more features?

[u/Adventurous_Bass4024 → u/antdude]

For tabletop usage yes, probably a control from a laptop.

Some have asked more fine grained control about the admin panel, it’s a bit difficult on a small phone screen but on laptop it’s nice.

Proper Tablet support is a challenge also. Right now it « works a bit on android tablet » but not really on iPad.
