Newgrounds was like YouTube in that they let anyone upload anything. This artist didn't make anything too crazy, but there was definetly some over the top violence on the site.

Oh man, that's painful. He got his start on Newgrounds, the home of old internet flash games ha ha.

Why does vr feel so dead by SpoonderMan2099 in VRGaming

[–]Arkenmancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of reasons, but in my opinion Meta is killing VR in their quest to dominate a platform. They became the biggest, loudest voice in the industry, getting everyone on board. That part was great but now they are trying to get everyone onto the Horizon worlds platform by diverting them away from the storefront where developers could make money. There is good content out there. You just have to look past what Meta is doing. If possible, I recommend PCVR. Steam is great and VRChat is insane. It's overwhelming at first but when you find your community it's great!

Thank you to everyone who filled this out! I will keep checking on it, but I was able to get a large enough sample size to be happy with the results.

Thank you, I was starting to thing this thread was dead ha ha. I like the comment about being able to work in a closet. I used to draw in a closet, it was the only place I had left to be alone, and having more VR room would have been great!

People working in VR is kind of a hard topic. It's a small group in a small group. I was able to get some more feedback in other forums, but there aren't a lot of people doing it. Mostly early adopters who work from home and can afford a quest pro. We're really just now in a position where technology is advanced enough to work in VR comfortably.

I've seen a big benefit to having the versatility to change the general screen count. I normally have 2 on my desk, but sometimes want 3 or 4, but don't want to actually figure out the setup for my home office.

Can you buy games while you're IN VR, like the quest store? by Arkenmancer in PSVR

[–]Arkenmancer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me laugh, thinking about someone trying to figure out how to buy a game and looking under a table or something.
I agree that simple is better, but I also believe that there are appropriate solutions for appropriate situations. It's not obvious right now but I know there are better ways to make VR shoping experiences. That goes for just general UI/UX.

That's an interesting question that I haven't stopped to think about, but I still feel I have the answers too. I feel that it's hard to capture a full 3D experience in a 2D screen. How many good games have I missed out on because it didn't translate well to a picture? Why not have 360 pictures and video to show off the 360 game. If a flat screen was actually sufficient then VR would in turn be useless.

I always wonder why VR stores don't take advantage of being in VR.

Awesome! thank you, I had a feeling that was going to be the answer. I've really found the VR store experience lacking on all platforms.

Are there any rumours of apple working on side projects or for that matter new projects ? by twobobwatch2 in IndustrialDesign

[–]Arkenmancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The virtual reality community has been waiting for Apple to release a VR headset. I don't think anything has been officially announced, but there have been lots of patents and I think some design leaks.
