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.
Kinect 2.0 is the one for Xbox One, right? That one has a proprietary plug and needs an adapter of some kind for PC. Finding one now needs some effort. Would have been neat if it supported the Xbox 360 Kinect because it has a standard USB connector.
2.0 is the 360 one, I have one in my basement because Gamestop didn’t want it.
What game is this exactly? For research purposes
Aww, I thought we were talking about Rimworld
This is a much funnier answer than I could have ever expected.
From the article:“On February 10, 2023, user “Swag Gucci Balenciaga Corndog” on Steam completed this bounty and summitted proof of his run.”
I could not have imagined a more fitting name if I had been writing this whole episode as a work or fiction. The world can be so fucking delightful at small scales sometimes.
Huh? It’s referenced by name right there in the screenshot…
I skimmed over it. Big whoop
Haha, I noticed that too.
Pretty fun game too!
Looks to be steam forums. Those are publicly indexable.

| embrace the Sun with arms outstretched so that my oblivion will be one of my own choosing.
Hot damn! I’ll be holding on to that!

This man can achieve device compatibility in free time, yet I cannot even do any kind of work properly…
That’s honestly hilarious and really impressive. I’m pretty sure Kinect still sees use in some R&D and medical scenarios, too. Honestly it was an awesome piece of tech that was wasted on shitty games.
Hey now, just dance with Kinect was genuinely the best way to play that game format (and was before the onset of their subscription platform to access the full song library)
Although, I’m a real sucker for rhythm games so maybe I’m just biased

Real
Nintendo Wii (2007)
wat
Wiimotes work on PC similar to any modern remote. They’re refering to that.
I know that. But they got the launch year of the Wii wrong, innit?
Not really. It was released in November/December of 2006.
WELL FUCK IT, I’M NOT GETTING THEIR SHITTY GAME NOW!
Still technically 2006 🤓
International vs US maybe?
Or when it was implemented in the PC game perhaps?
It’s been so long since I heard about the Kinect that I had to look up what it was. That’s pretty damn cool. It’s like hearing someone decided to add Leap Motion gesture controls to their game because why not?
Star Wars Kinect was the bomb
The last truly great piece of Star Wars media.
OMG the leap motion. Ten years ago it was set to revolutionize computer input. Where’s now?
In lots of people’s drawers when they realized holding their arms up to their monitors all the time was really tiring.
I’ve seen a couple vtubers use leap for hand tracking.
After that last answer, I gotta say, I like the jib of his cut.
skyrim with kinect was genuinely the best way to play skyrim
My first thought was , lol that’d be funny. And my second thought was, oh shit Skyrim came out at that time.
oh dude it was amazing. no more going through menus to get the shout you wanted, you just shout! wish the game still had that feature
This is the best FAQ I’ve ever read.
The world needs more unhinged developers like Sam. I wonder what he’ll do if we send him a kilo of cocaine.
I assume cocaine also has some kind of ballmer peak
