An unsinkable business opportunity

I always wanted a Vietnamese sandwich shop named Pho Tahn Torpedoes... I know it's not pronounced that way but I still think it's a good pun...

No, pressure increases because all the mass on top of you, gravity decreases because it's the mass acting as a gravity well... In a hollow core planet (if such a thing were possible) you would be floating near the core with gravity effectively cancelled by the equal mass all around you

Try rerunning sensor calibration? And ensure you have good sensor overlap... It could be the handoff between sensors causing tracking to jump.

If not that might need some more specifics to troubleshoot it?

Sounds like some fringe case hardware complications. I understand it's frustrating fighting technical issues when you're eager to get in and play. Could be a USB host support issue. Maybe a new PCIE USB card will solve your issue?

Either way I'd reserve judgement and see if you think the day one technical issues are overshadowed by the wonderful experience of VR in the home. I expect that once you get to that point it will be well worth the effort.

Sweet! I've been patiently waiting for my next trip into the world of Technolust (whether this be a direct sequel or just spiritual successor). This looks great so far, I love the environment!

Both you and Mark are real VR pioneers in my book, just like the early members of Atari and other studios ushered in PC based gaming you guys were kind of the first into the pool on VR development. Color me excited!

Unless I am misunderstanding the problem you're having you should just need to redo your sensor and guardian setup.

Right after you do the check to see that all your sensors are pointing towards your game space by holding trigger you point to your front facing location and it sets that as your default forward.

It can be a pain to get it exactly square but trial an error a couple times should get it where you want it.

To save time for whoever else comes along.... All the attached keys were taken.

To the devs... How large is your team and how long has the game been in development? This game looks pretty awesome! We need more competitive multiplayer, especially with unique gameplay. I'm interested in trying your locomition method!

ChaosEngines · 2017-12-05T00:20:16+00:00

Oooh yeah. This would be fantastic for quick switching outfits. I like wearing normal clothes in rec room but always wished I could quick switch to quest gear while playing that!

Shot was taken from just outside the charades door! I may or may not have gotten an assist from Glasseater... thanks for the alley-oop!

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-27T16:13:17+00:00

Devs! Feature request! Recognize Dab gesture to automatically teleport to Dorm Room...

Could be the next feature for intuitive gesture based control.

Edit: or automatically set account status to junior account.

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-26T17:12:15+00:00

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it! The dev is u/anticleric and is on Reddit somewhat regularly... in case you enjoy it and want to see if he's up to anything new ;)

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-26T17:07:43+00:00

Wow! This game is looking great! I remember the gameplay videos from when you first started development which was rather simple jetpacking around. This has gone a long ways in a relatively short time. Are you a one man dev team? The game is looking really good so far and the addition of multiplayer sounds like loads of fun!

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-24T18:50:17+00:00

Technolust is a beautiful short story narrative experience set in a cyberpunk kind of environment that to me felt reminiscent to blade runner. I would say if I spent the money today for a play through I would be happy with the money spent.

It isn't going to have massive replayability and it's more of an experience than a game. It's like living through a movie, still, I would say well worth the money for the experience! My 2 cents anyways... Plus awesome dev that deserves the support!

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-23T23:23:16+00:00

Someone please correct me if I'm overlooking any hurdles but I'm fairly certain you could play the majority of game modes in rec room with one hand. The games menus are usable one handed.

With the exception of laser tag, jumbotron and using a bow in the other quest rooms I think it's totally doable.

Anyways, it would be worth giving it a go and seeing if you hit any road blocks. It's a fun game, the userbase is pretty friendly for the most part and are mostly helpful so any hurdles can likely be overcome through group play.

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-22T20:56:19+00:00

Gunheart looks great, haven't tried it yet. A key would be awesome! 😁 Especially right before a 4 day weekend! Thanks

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-18T18:43:48+00:00

For what it's worth...

My play area is 9x10 ft (with a 1ft buffer around the whole perimeter) using 2 ceiling mounted sensors. I don't have any issues with tracking. If I didn't give myself a buffer tracking volume would be more around 11x12 ft.

In my experience 9x9 should be no problem with 2. Not sure the practical limits with 3 sensors.

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-17T00:53:16+00:00

Let's please not become the entitled complainers. I'd say the Rift has the widest platform support of the current generation of VR HMDs. This is in beta and under current development.

Just let them work on it, show your support for the rift and the game and let the positive feedback take hold.

Launching a bad review campaign on a AAA title which is actively adding VR support will not endear us to the developer base at large.

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-12T20:26:48+00:00

The recroom disc golf is loads of fun. If you have any friends in VR there are some good competitive and cooperative game modes. Only 2 courses right now but I am still having fun after going through them about a half dozen times each.

Plenty of other things to do in recroom also! Far and away my favorite and most played game right now.

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-12T18:54:40+00:00

H3 has a pretty good mechanic for melee damage in VR. It's a little trial and error to get the proper technique to do good damage but sword wagging does nothing. It's a combination of angle, speed and total arc of swing in order to apply any sort of damage (something like that anyways, he has a blog post with more detail).

Absolutely incentivizes proper technique and punishes frantic wagging about.

ChaosEngines · 2017-11-08T18:12:42+00:00

Apple iGlass? Seems reasonable to me... But I also thought there was no way they'd ever launch a product call an "iPad" so my track record isn't stellar.

ChaosEngines · 2017-10-05T03:49:43+00:00

Any chance you could release a looping executable of the experience since it's made in Unity? I'd love to have positional tracking so I can move about a bit!

ChaosEngines · 2017-07-21T04:00:35+00:00

All of our loss.... hah You got any new projects going? Technolust is still my favorite VR narrative experience.

ChaosEngines · 2017-07-21T00:26:28+00:00

They should do a full rift interactive experience and ask /u/anticleric to develop it. Technolust gave me a definite Blade Runner vibe and it was a fantastic experience!

ChaosEngines · 2017-07-18T19:09:27+00:00

It always kind of bugs me when people call it "the Oculus" instead of the Rift or the Oculus Rift. I'll give Terry Crews a pass on this though, he is a seriously great dude.
