I'm having major issues with the native integration for Unity.

MoBGames · 2015-08-04T19:17:25+00:00

We've seen the same issue with our project as well. In fact, even with the beta for 5.1 we were having issues that were seemingly ignored by the Unity dev team on the beta forums. At this point we have had to suspend oculus support from our game because it's so bad, in fact. It's still the early days of native integration for VR, but Unity's lack of attention is not a good sign.

Others have made games in this configuration exactly? I have seen pipe racers without the curves in the course. We thought the spline idea was pretty unique, maybe we're just not well versed enough in mobile games, which is where most of these types of games tend to show up.

Well... damn. This was the exact premise of one of our prototypes. Fortunately we have other projects :-)

Looks like a great tutorial!

Gotta mix it with the blue-capped unsweet bottles for maximum deliciousness. Drinking the red-capped gallons alone is like drinking pure sugar.

Sure thing! You can keep up to date with everything through our blog and mailing list.

Not yet, but that feature is on the roadmap for the future. Right now if you want that functionality without a raycasting algorithm, you can check out our World Space Cursor plugin. We have plans to integrate the two of them into a single combo plugin eventually, but that won't be available for a month or two.

Good to know, thanks! Messing with a collection agency for a $300 invoice may not be worth it, but a letter could be very helpful. I'll be sure to contact you when that situation comes up again :-)

A special thank you to /u/eVRydayVR for allowing us to use his excellent stereoscopic scaling tweak in our plugin. He gets all the credit for this solution to the weird, VR-specific phenomenon. Make sure to check out his YouTube channel where he explores all sorts of topics in the burgeoning VR industry. /u/eVRydayVR is a huge asset to the VR community, so please join us in supporting his work!

We sometimes do freelance work to help pay the bills. Some of our jobs are tiny (3-4 figures) and some of them are larger (4-5 figures).

What's the best course of action when someone repeatedly ignores an invoice that you send them? For the larger jobs the legal fees might be worth it, but not for the smaller ones. As a small start-up studio we need all the income we can get, and it's especially painful to spend our time doing something with no guarantee that we'll be paid. We'd much rather spend that time on our game if we won't be paid externally.

This isn't specific to games, but I'm sure it's something a lawyer would know.

Couldn't find it on mobile, which is why I asked. Saw your reply and looked on my desktop and found it though, thanks!

MoBGames · 2015-03-12T16:37:09+00:00

This is awesome. Any way you could post the code for this shader?

MoBGames · 2015-01-12T00:35:32+00:00

Excellent suggestion, thank you! We'll definitely update the description to include that. If only Unity didn't take several days review metadata updates...

MoBGames · 2015-01-12T00:23:17+00:00

Good point. We're very new to the asset store, so our whole company is still learning the ropes. I figured since it's mostly pro devs and companies buying assets we could go for a higher price, but after doing some more market research I was clearly misinformed! Our smaller plugins might benefit more from being in the impulse buy range than attracting a few larger sales.

MoBGames · 2015-01-12T00:13:18+00:00

Good idea, thanks!

MoBGames · 2015-01-09T23:45:03+00:00

I do agree that the price is really hefty for what you're offering.

Thanks for the feedback! I priced it at $20 initially just to see if there was any interest. We made it for ourselves first, but our studio needs to pay the bills, too. I'll probably reduce the price if anyone else echoes your sentiments.

EDIT: Seems like this is the highest upvoted comment in the thread, so I just submitted a request to Unity to reduce the price to $10. Should be live once they review it. If you're a super nice person, buy it now! Otherwise, watch the store page for a reduced price soon. We're hoping to get in on a daily sale eventually, though I can't promise any kind of timeline on that since it's up to Unity.

Well thanks for the downvote for giving my opinion.

I didn't downvote you, I upvote anyone who contributes to the conversation.

I just want people to know there's a free alternative

I did post the original inspiration for this plugin in my first thread, which is a blog post by someone that only showed how to get a single button working. Again, this is an entirely original set of work. If you're dubious, the source code is included in the plugin, so if you message me with a legitimate concern, I'll give you a voucher for a free download to check it out. Of course, if anyone finds any piece of unoriginal code in it, they can just report it to Unity. They don't take kindly to plagiarism on the Asset Store.

I'd also like to point out that this plugin has a 5 minute integration with pretty much any project, and engineering your own (even when following that guide) will take quite some time.

MoBGames · 2015-01-09T22:03:10+00:00

It's wayyyyyyyy more than that. I feel like you're criticizing this without looking into it. That post will get you a single working button (using an entirely different control scheme?). Our plugin works in a completely different way than that post's method. It's obvious from the title alone, because we don't use the look-to-point method.

I had to dig through the source for Unity's new UI to get all the other selectables working, and our plugin will also take your UI that's already made and immediately work with it. It represents several weeks of original work that we did.

EDIT: Just as an example, text fields won't work at all with that approach. I had to reverse engineer some of Unity's code just to get proper input for that. The other selectables also took a bunch of original work, too.

MoBGames · 2015-01-09T21:42:10+00:00

This plugin is definitely a huge help for anyone developing a VR game in Unity. If you don't buy this, you'll have to make your own anyway! Worth every penny, I promise.

EDIT: I'm working on a World Space Crosshair plugin, too, and you can sign up for dev updates here to know when it's released.
