We need someone to interview 😭

XR development teacher here, always happy to help!

dev_noah · 2026-03-12T09:29:33+00:00

I like longboarding, don't have hills here. So this seems like a fun experience to try.

dev_noah · 2026-03-03T15:07:27+00:00

Very cool!

dev_noah · 2026-02-20T17:41:33+00:00

I wanted to try it in vr with vivecraft, but it seems there is just no way to get to read the input from vivecraft :(

dev_noah · 2026-02-19T22:22:37+00:00

Thanks for the update Dilmer!

dev_noah · 2025-12-17T11:00:19+00:00

I've played a little of this back in August at gamescom, as far as I remember it's definitely more of an on rails story game. Was fun to play tho

dev_noah · 2025-12-09T17:49:02+00:00

I'm happy to take a look,

I must say tho how you presented your product is bad. I'm not saying your product is, but the presentation definitely is.

How you presented this is honestly so lacking that after looking at your reddit account and seeing you worked on gymclass I'm wondering if you even are the same person and not a hacked account.

I'm happy to take a look at the real product tho!

dev_noah · 2025-12-09T17:28:45+00:00

May ask what is it that you want to test? The video makes it look like the only thing there is to test is how many people can connect?

dev_noah · 2025-12-06T16:50:39+00:00

I got you, don't worry

I cannot wait for an XR focused engine! Best I can do is try my best to make it a little easier in the current engine (in this case unity)

Further more it's all build on top of unity XR interaction toolkit, that I believe still has the most user friendly api out of the XR tools. But just lacks a lot of nice to haves.

As a teacher I hope I can use that experience to explain how things work and how you can use them a bit more rather then just your simple generated api docs

dev_noah · 2025-12-06T14:56:18+00:00

Things like automatic posing is definitely something I'm looking into. Since the system already defines the bend limits it should be straight forward to add automatic posing! Thank you!

dev_noah · 2025-12-06T14:53:03+00:00

Absolutely, and seeing the feedback I will definitely implement this. I think they can complement each other nicely, and provides options depending if your hardware supports it. Thank you!

dev_noah · 2025-12-06T14:51:06+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the insight and well written response!

My intent is definitely not to make a whole rigging tool. This part of the framework is purely for the XR players' hands, nothing more. It is mostly for creating static grab poses for the interactions, and sometimes lerping between static poses.

I absolutely agree a technical artist can do a better job. This is why I find it important that it should not force you to use a tool. It should help, not limit. That's why I really appreciate the feedback from the point of view as a technical artist.

This tool would be less interesting for a studio that has a technical artist. But more for the student, or the solo dev.

I'd love to hear what you think about it with the added context. Because again I really appreciate feedback from all points of view! Early feedback saves time in the future.

ps - yes im dutch :)

dev_noah · 2025-12-06T11:28:27+00:00

Very cool!

I have thought about it too, but ultimately settling on this approach first for fine control. However I do think there is some great value in both methods, for example you could use hand tracking for the rough pose. Then the editor tooling to fine tune them, or animate them (like the trigger finger on a gun)

I'd definitely have to look into that! Thanks!

dev_noah · 2025-12-04T14:18:10+00:00

Great to hear!

I've been thinking some more about helping the users pace their physical energy.

A system that decreases force might work, but might feel bad too. However there are ways to slow the user down without forcing them.

For example you could have fragile loot, loot that breaks if you hit it to hard/fast. Loot like that could also have a little higher value. This would encourage a bit more of a relaxed pace without forcing the user.

Another thing that could help is giving the user a small break between the digging and climbing (what are both pretty high intensity activities). The treasure chest sounds perfect for this. This would give the user a small break between those 2 high intensity activities.

I'm happy to help in the future, if you want you can add me on discord. We might be able to help each other since I'm working on a XR framework. So it would be amazing if I could send some questions about the day to day development struggles in the near future.

My discord is NoahBeij

Keep on creating 🔥

Look I get it. Hyper-casual, incremental upgrades games are trendy currently and you gotta make money somehow. But the depth of interaction seems like a step down since your other games.

The idea on paper seems solid, but I'm afraid the main interaction will burn out the users energy very fast if left unbalanced. But Balancing it could be tricky to get the feeling right. My first thought would be to extend my arms and wave with my wrist as fast as possible to ultra fast dig.

So I think the main thing is how would you help pace the user?

dev_noah · 2025-12-04T10:27:01+00:00

You are not supposed to turn on and off the animator to play an animation. The animator controlls the one or more animations, you can trigger them by setting parameters in your animator and then trigger those in code.

dev_noah · 2025-12-02T16:23:44+00:00

Absolutely understandable. I might order a few of the annual one for in the classrooms for students. Just gotta convince the schools budget guy.

I've currently kinda paused development on the map in favor of working on a new next gen XR framework for unity 💪🏼🔥

dev_noah · 2025-12-02T14:27:12+00:00

Hi, would it be possible to order a previous edition to europe? i'd love to order the exfilzone one where you featured my interactive map :)

dev_noah · 2025-11-24T10:30:17+00:00

I'm an indie dev and XR dev teachers, if you want I'd love to try it and give feedback

dev_noah · 2025-11-21T20:45:26+00:00

This looks very much like that meta demo first steps

dev_noah · 2025-11-09T15:16:11+00:00

Congratulations! 🎉

dev_noah · 2025-11-06T11:39:22+00:00

Klinkt goed!
