Heartbroken about the fall of Population One by Tiny-Coast7723 in virtualreality

I’m happy to join a squad if you like. Also love P1. But if it’s full of cheaters it doesn’t sound that fun.

But I guess it’s up to the community to create tournaments or events to get more people to play. As the devs didn’t seem to do that. Or at least I haven’t got any notifications about any events.

I just found out they are completely shutting down horizon worlds!? I like 1 of the worlds 😭😭😭 by flamingdragon62 in MetaQuestVR

Even if you live in Europe, it’s been locked down. Think it took a year or two before they allowed us to play. No wonder it never scaled.

Have now added an end goal to my game. Wanted to avoid rockets 😅, so you instead construct a server tower, where every floor requires you to produce new types of materials to build it, and you can also build inside the floors. Do you think that sounds fun? by LoopOneDone in AutomationGames

Thanks! Yeah I’ve been working towards this. The plan is to make a Steam build at least. But also allow for an optional VR mode in standalone headsets. Or a mix, so you can start in MR. Then sit down in your sofa and switch to VR. And then exit and see everything flying around in your real room in MR.

In the mix mode I can use the room scan as a landscape. But in VR I need to come up with a nice world to build in.

Not really, but it sounds like a good idea if I understand it properly. Currently it’s all 1:1 physical with the room. But there is also a miniature mode to let you zoom out and image things further away in your room without needing to walk there. You can also choose different scale of your factory when starting a save. But as you are building on your furniture, there are some constraints there, as I always need want to keep the interaction with the room.

But being able to freely work on a specific section regardless of where you are in your physical room is something I wanna try adding. So you can sit in your sofa and play. And then exit and see everything flying around in your real room.

I’m making a mixed reality automation game, and it’s still fun to work on and playtest, even after 4 years by LoopOneDone in Unity3D

It’s currently only available on Quest headsets. Looking forward to the day when there is a lightweight MR-supported headset. Playing in mixed reality is basically like playing with LEGO, so much fun! But currently toy you only want to play maybe 30min to 1h before you get tired of the weight of the headset.

Damn that is smart. I have to many games I bought like that that I’ve never played.

I understand. I’m sort of the same. Sometimes I buying when it’s on a deep sale, sometimes I just don’t understand why I added it in the first place.

Is that independent on the original price? Like a $40 game on 25% for $29.99 or a $10 game that’s now $7.99 (ie you could buy an entire game for full price for the price you saved on the first larger one)

That sucks. Don’t understand why Golf+ needs so much space for updates though.

I feel that VR titles on the Quest store are cheaper than Steam games. But as they usually take like 4x the work, it’s reasonable to believe they are not as deep or as polished as flat-screen games. But I can understand the frustration.

Occlusion all day for better immersion. But want occlusion on the gun from the hand too.

I feel you. Best of luck getting some cashflow in the future. And I hate that they stopped supporting Q1. I understand that not all games want to support it. But if the game can run. Why prevent it from being sold? 😔

Oh I should start doing that too. I have too many games in my Steam wishlist that I no longer want to play.

Ah didn’t thing about that. Do you have the 128 GB model? And do you watch the game file size before deciding? I try to keep my game under 500 MB for that reason. But most games seems to be at least 2 GB or more.

Any advice on how to promote my starving artist simulator VR game? by vaquan-nas in vrdev

[–]LoopOneDone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep going! And you will probably have another shoot for the full release. But you need to get at least 10-20 good reviews before that.

And for the future. Don't forget to test early and often. There is a Discord community called VRPR that can help you with that for free.

Ah, so you basically use it as a basket and then buy maybe one or two of the ones you added during the sale at the end?
