No I dont move around other than my arms lol
With positional guns you physically cant move really and with proper light guns you only ever had a few feet of slack on the cord.
I really dont understand why people get so hung up about the moving around thing.
Like do you play gun games while working out or circuit training or something?
Planning on doing back flips and ducking behind the cabinet when you put your foot on the time crisis pedal?
I mean me personally I just want to chill and enjoy the game like, Preferably while sat on my sofa :D
But all that aside you can move around and do back flips with this system if you so wish but I would look at you like you had lost ya ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- if I saw you doing that in an arcade lol
In other news relating to the Sinden for those interested the final shell has been approved and is now going to be produced en mass.
The PCB is also in its final form (hopefully) and so after its been tested and approved will also be going into full scale production.
Think that was pretty much the main points from the latest update.

People aim from the shoulder, not the wrist.
Any gun that doesn't work while playing this way falls short of the old crt gun experience.
Try shooting a real pistol while aiming with your wrist.

BadMouth put it nicer than I did. Just can’t believe this guy is still releasing the same carefully staged videos. $300k and he can’t find some chav to hold a camera for him? This is starting to look like “coinops supports light guns, honest!” round 2. Are tripods banned over there?
Titchgamer:
Agreed you aim with your shoulder and as I said the day I tried it you can do that no problem.
But you lot need to remember that when you are sat 6 foot away from a 40” screen you do not need to wildly swing your arms like a mad man to get from one corner to the other.
Infact the movement is probably only 12” give or take.
You have all seen the screen capture I uploaded of the sporting gun game on hard, Trust me I was throwing that gun around but if I had strapped a camera to it all you would see would be blurs!
As I discovered when I tried to record the performance of his prototype its really not easy to film a light gun in a meaningful way to do justice.
I tried to film playing point blank with a camera strapped to the gun and that came out horribly even when I had deliberately slowed my movements and tried to capture meaningful shots.
All ime saying is stop slating the guy and the product because you cant see how far his arms move and because hes playing a game sat comfy like anyone else would want to do while sat at home enjoying themselves.
If you want to make a video bouncing around the living room playing time crisis to show him how its done go for it.
Titchgamer:
Just to add for shits and giggles I just measured the movement required to get from top left corner to bottom right corner of my area 51 cab at a normal distance and my tv from sofa distance.
A51 cab (22” screen) 11” movement.
Tv (42” @6 feet) 10.5”
Pretty damn close lol
Also bear in mind that the TV is wide screen so if it was displaying a 4:3 game it would be smaller still.
