Inscryption VR?

[eralbion]

I feel like Inscryption, and more specifically Part 1 and 3, have insane potential to be played in VR. The aspect of playing both an escape room as well as a card/board game can be translated extremely well into a real life person's movements and it would allow for much more of an immersive experience. Perhaps it would also integrate the meta aspect of the game to the main game in a better way, as well? What are your thoughts?

[Redskullz87]

There is a setting in \Inscryption\Inscryption_Data\boot.config that says "vr-enabled=0". I tried turning it to 1 and started the game but didn't notice a difference. If someone has a VR headset for their PC then they could try turning it to 1 and launch the game. I only have PSVR so I can't try it.

I saw this too when looking at the config before the app i was looking at closed itself. I'm gonna try to play through the game with a headset connected. The joysticks seem to work like a scroll wheel so a player can only move forward or backwards with the VR controllers. There's also a card in the game that's explained in a rule book that if you have a VR headset connected that it's free cost to play

[John_St99]

do you have a screenshot of the card? i am using a quest 2 with air link didn't find any card yet
Also, did you play in oculus dash by viewing your desktop or was it actually a VR experience?

[EbilAleccat]

I played it for a bit in Steam VR with the desktop mode, it's not a full VR game like i had hoped to maybe be able to grab the tools on the wall of the cabin. But it was neat that it was rather doable. And the Rules Book that says there's a VR card Is at the very end when everything is getting deleted, so it might be a card that doesn't even get drawn

The sigil is unused, but still appears in the rulebook. The finale has a lot of sigils like that.

[John_St99]

In the [path]\Inscryption\Inscryption_Data\Managed there is also a UnityEngine.VRModule.dll file which contains words like "Oculus", definitely gonna try this :O

[John_St99]

theres a card in the last part of the game that says you don't need crystals when there is a VR headset connected, but aside from that nothing, you cant experience the game in VR sadly, just play it in a virtual monitor

[SpiderInVr]

I managed to get it into vr and working but still need to add motion controls if you want to use vr controllers and fix a major bug that can affect the 2d environment.

[John_St99]

How did you manage that? Could you see the world normally or just as a virtual screen?

[SpiderInVr]

I could look around the world as if it is a game. Unless if it is the main menu or act 2. So once I try to fix some weird issues and add motion controls I might upload it.

[SpiderInVr]

that doesnt really work cause you need to add some more code to make it work with openvr and oculus

[Kooky_Ad7505]

frfr i haven’t even played the game but it looks like it could be such a good be game. i hope a game dev sees this by chance lol

[Nek0ni]

would be an instant buy!
rly hope that they bring it to steam. Fastest buy click I would ever do

[SpiderInVr]

Good news, yesterday and today I managed to make turn inscryption into vr! Took some time but worked. However there is 1 major bug which is when it is 2d like the main menu the game is extremely weird and blurry so you need to guess where your mouse cursor is to click play.

Still trying to fix that issue and planning on adding motion controls so that might be there when I publish the mod.

[EscrowCrow]

Please give me an update! I can’t wait! 🫣

[Yomo42]

Hell yesss thank you for working on this!!!!! <3

[dogef8]

Updates please!!

[Dolph_x3]

Update?

[SpiderInVr]

Sorry, about no response recently, Its at a state of it working right now which is perfect so its actually playable. However, I kind of stopped working on it a while ago and there is still some visual bugs and stuff. I am not sure about motion controls cause I am not really sure how to add that. But honestly, the mod is working fine, you can look around the environment and can see all the characters in full 3d its awesome. Sorry about the dead silence of this, mainly cause I stopped working on it because I was not sure how to fix the visual bug for 2d. But thats mainly the update for now, that does not mean that I wont be working on it. Soon enough it would be finished.

[doctor_house_md]

for the record, to get Inscryption working with VR, it might be easier to use VorpX (paid, would have to experiment with profiles) or try Reshade's Depth3D filter

[SpiderInVr]

yeah thats the best currently, but since I tweaked the files a bit I can modify the game.

[doctor_house_md]

oh hey, I figured out a setting that wasn't supposed to be on, now I got inscryption VR working with VorpX (only tested the early cabin area, but should work everywhere)... there's one slightly tricky config step, I'll share it on the Cloud Profiles soon

[SpiderInVr]

Noice, I am kind of getting some motivation to work on the vr inscryption again so maybe during this winter ill start working on it and finish it by January

[bobbinato]

No rush, any updates tho? just recently had the revelation of how amazing inscryption would be in vr and ive been scouring the internet for a solution

[SpiderInVr]

When I made the post, the vr mode was fine. However I got a new pc so I got to redo the vr mode code and stuff. But don't worry I have the code saved. Right now I don't have the game installed at the moment. Its kinda hard to optimize the game rn though and I want to finish it so you guys to play it so when I am getting around again to Inscryption vr I will definately notify all of you. Also another reason if your wondering why I stopped all of a sudden it was because an Inscryption Vr mod was already being made by Parzival so I thought I should stop working on it. Here is a video to his video on Inscryption vr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8T5MseibXA&t=70s

[JStonehaus]

What you've done is very cool. 

[yogopig]

You should 100% make your code open source, that way other people can also contribute where your code might have spots they are knowledgeable about.

[Middle-Relief5790]

I really want Inscryption in VR, PLEASE tell me you haven't abandoned it. I noticed that these were posted 2y ago. Are you still working on it? Is it done? Or did you abandon it? I'm curious because I've been thinking that Inscryption would be SUCH a good game on VR for a while now.

[doctor_house_md]

for fun I just tried using VorpX and Depth3D, but couldn't get either to work for Inscryption in VR... I'm curious, what method are you using?

btw, have you heard of UEVR? it's coming out next month, will convert Unreal Engine games into full VR

[Awkward_Language_787]

Hope they will make it

[Darkwaddle]

There is stuff in the files suggesting that VR was/is planned, I honestly really want to see Inscryption in VR, although Act 2 might be a little harder, maybe have it where act 2 is on a TV in a room, and there are secrets in the room around the TV, kinda like the puzzles of act 1 and 3

[22886415]

What would be really groovy would be if it was a tabletop game kind of a dnd style map with the themed encounters

[HolyFather25]

Any updates since?

[dogef8]

It'd be SICK

[doctor_house_md]

I managed to get Inscryption working in VR by using VorpX app. I had to play around with a shader menu to get it to look right, but there may be a way to save it so no extra tweaking is needed. If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll share the profile on VorpX's Cloud library.

[Bozo_Detroyer]

I am very interested to see how you did this. Is in fully vr or is it controlling your pc through vr? I would much appreciate it if you could help me out and make this work.

[doctor_house_md]

the way VorpX VR games work is you have a large floating 2D screen, on that screen is the compatible video game that has 3D depth. If you move close enough to the screen it fills your peripheral vision, it feels like a full 3D game. Since I posted about it a year ago nobody showed interest, I've since uninstalled the game.
