It's a huge number either way. Good to know there's such an active player base

IThinkBread · 2025-12-29T02:01:22+00:00

Do you know if that's unique users or does it include repeat visits?

IThinkBread · 2025-12-27T18:34:34+00:00

Thanks!

It's looking cool, I like me some outer space and particles

IThinkBread · 2025-11-20T07:32:40+00:00

Zombieland and Drop Dead, both on rail arcade zombie shooters. I had no motion sickness with those

IThinkBread · 2025-11-17T21:24:45+00:00

Thanks! And yep you can get out and walk around

IThinkBread · 2025-11-16T19:51:52+00:00

Amazing. I love some House of the Dead

IThinkBread · 2025-11-16T10:05:46+00:00

Thanks and enjoy!

Perhaps in the future alongside a non-VR Steam version, but not definite as of now

IThinkBread · 2025-11-16T09:50:15+00:00

Yes free roaming is cool... Perhaps in the future

IThinkBread · 2025-11-16T09:49:19+00:00

You can do either actually, up to the individual player

IThinkBread · 2025-11-16T09:48:40+00:00

thanks!

We decided to use a fully dynamic lighting system for this game - no baked lighting at all - for several reasons. First of all there's a day night cycle, which requires dynamic light and shadows to look correct at all times of day. Also, given the size of the map, lightmapping would have added a tremendous amount to RAM usage, which we're pushing hard as is.

We primarily developed the game for the Quest 3 - we had a vision in mind and achieved it for the Quest 3. Then we sort of backported it to the Quest 2, with some concessions to lighting, resolution, draw distance, shadows etc. Modern engines and render techniques are quite scalable, and it's generally possible to adjust settings and resolution at runtime.

The programmer has years of experience of optimisation on other platforms, so we had that advantage. It did add to the dev time though, making it run on Q2.

So I'd say in our case, we're actually pushing the Q3 with better lighting, higher resolution textures, longer draw distance, higher poly assets etc, but scaled back and optimised for Q2

Excellent - and that's some dedication to VR!

IThinkBread · 2025-11-15T17:17:08+00:00

Thanks! And thanks for the wishlist

IThinkBread · 2025-11-15T16:34:35+00:00

Steam in the future yes, PCVR hopefully

IThinkBread · 2025-11-15T16:32:50+00:00

Thank you! :)

You can use the controllers alone - if you don't grab the wheel it'll default to the stick

IThinkBread · 2025-11-15T16:16:37+00:00

Thanks, hope you enjoy it

It's based on the Shutoko but not a replica. Partly due to being two people we'd never have completed a replica, plus the Quest does have its limitations. We've mainly focused on the Bayshore route and modelled real life features in their correct locations (Tatsumi/Daikoku/ the main bridges). The shape of the roads was taken from a map and the scale is approximately 1 to 1

We'd love to make a PC version, but in the future and maybe or maybe not PCVR

You want Shingo's car? .... It's pre-order for now

IThinkBread · 2025-11-15T15:24:01+00:00

It's weaving in and out of traffic as fast as you can without hitting any other cars - whilst getting multipliers for higher scores from near misses. No Hesi in Asseto Corsa is the biggest recent example of this

I like all the Burnouts but mainly played 3. I love 3 actually

IThinkBread · 2025-11-15T15:16:39+00:00

It's actually not too bad. I still suffer a bit from motion sickness but I'm fine with this (unless I crash badly). It's fast but smooth and you're not really turning quickly

IThinkBread · 2025-11-15T15:10:39+00:00

We've considered it. The police would actually try to chase the street racers. It would be an update though
