What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“NervBox is in its very early days. We’ve been iterating on the systems that enable a no-compromises VR physics simulation in multiplayer for over a year now, and they’re finally at a point where we’re confident in sharing it with the world.

Fully understanding what kinds of game modes and experiences are possible and work best in a rich multiplayer physics simulation is going to take time, trying a lot of new things, and an enormous amount of player feedback.

We also hope to better understand what simulation features players want most, whether it be vehicles, destructible props or maps, advanced NPCs, more physics-tools, or beyond. We want to make sure we’re spending our time building what players value most.

Finally, we’re aiming to build out a modding toolkit based on our internal tools to allow players and modders alike to easily build their own maps, weapons, and gamemodes alongside us as we all explore this exciting new frontier!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don't have a definite timeline for when NervBox will leave early access.
We want to make sure that the core systems are as polished as possible and that we’ve explored what gameplay opportunities exist in a detailed multiplayer simulation.
In a vacuum, we expect these goals to be achievable within 8-12 months. However, given that we will be iterating and adding features and content based on feedback from early access players, we expect our scope and timeline to adjust accordingly.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of NervBox will contain more simulation features, maps, game modes, weapons, and physics tools requested by the community.
In addition to the content created by us, we would like to build out a modding toolkit based on our internal tools to allow players to add and share their own content as easily as possible.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Today, NervBox features fully physics-driven and networked players, interactions, simple physics-based NPCs, weapons, and a couple of physics-tools including a weld-gun.
We currently offer 2 maps with a 3rd in development, 3 game modes (Capture the Flag, Tower Defense, and Traitor) with plenty more planned, and an unlimited sandbox experience.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Our current plan is to gradually increase the price of NervBox as we ship new features and content.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is integral in building out an experimental game like NervBox.
We will be gathering feedback from players in our Discord to help us prioritize where we spend our development time.
We will also be working closely with modders to test our content-creation tooling and ensure they’re able to create the physics-driven experiences they want.”

About This Game

Welcome to NervBox, the multiplayer VR physics simulation that bends to your imagination. Join friends and unleash your creativity with our extensive suite of tools and tailor your worlds to your liking.

Interactive Physics Playground

Hop into a world where everyone and everything follows the laws of physics. Play with two-handed swords that take your whole body to swing. Ride in a shopping cart while a friend pushes you around. Everything is at your disposal for endless fun.

Getting Physical

Work together to move massive objects, boost someone up on your shoulders to get to hard-to-reach areas, or give them a high-five for a game well played. With a fully physicalized body, your presence affects everything around you - even other players!

Tools for Tinkering

Utilize the Sandbox Gun - a powerful multitool - to spawn in objects and attach anything together with simple welds or more dynamic joints. Wield this power to build dynamic battle arenas, design challenging parkour courses, or just hang out with friends while putting together new gizmos and gadgets.

Fully Loaded Arsenal

Handle an array of guns with realistic operations, mastering the art of loading, ejecting, and racking for the most engaging encounters. The melee weapons range from swords to bats, and everything has its own unique audio to fully immerse yourself in the world.

Games À La Mode

NervBox provides various gamemodes to give basic rules to a world, but everything else is up to you. From the open-ended sandbox, to Capture the Flag where you build forts to defend from the enemy team, and NervBall, a brawly, in-your-face test of skill, anything and everything goes.

Dynamic Environments

Hop into different maps, including a close-quarters warehouse, an open park set in an expansive city, and a minimalist empty space for unlimited creativity. Use them as inspiration for your creative builds, or as a backdrop for a friendly skirmish.

Multiplayer Shenanigans

Host or join a lobby with up to 8 players. Private sessions let you and your closest friends explore together, or hop into a public session and meet your new best bud.

Join our active Discord community! Share your ideas, report bugs, and help shape the future of NervBox. Your voice matters!
