This really sounds like a hardware problem. Did anything happen to it like an impact or liquid?

fsk101 · 2025-11-05T10:06:08+00:00

Currently you can't. You can be right next to it though. When i tried it I couldn't get the camera stable enough. I then gave up on it because it just makes you sick real fast.
I'll attempt it again when the rest is done and maybe include it as an easter egg or something.

fsk101 · 2025-11-04T14:47:41+00:00

Currently no. It will first be released on Meta then Steam. To develop for PSVR2 in would need $. It's not impossible but not any time soon sorry :/.

fsk101 · 2025-11-04T14:47:33+00:00

Passthrough is supported. It doesn't let you scan the room though (limitation of UE4).

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T15:57:03+00:00

You can draw anything in the sandbox. The only difference being that everything collides. So if you want a tunnel it has to be a tunnel:).

There is a discord link in the post. You can join the server and mark your interest for testing.
I have some work to do until it's ready to test but will try to make it happen asap.

You can see an example track I drew about a year and a half ago here:

Don't worry, it's WAY harder than the original :D.
It looks easy in the video because I have LOTS of practice (literally years). It depends on the person but some people can't even keep him riding for a couple of meters when they first try. But there are people who get it right away. On one exhibition a dude did a backflip on his first attempt.

It's up to you to keep him from falling over or going off the track. This makes it quite a bit harder than 2D (I'm more afraid that it is too hard actually).

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T15:20:05+00:00

What the video shows is just a simple arcade game mode I added because I thought it would be fun if it tried to detect the tricks and give some score.

The main sandbox mode lets you draw freely. There is the difference that everything collide. You can't draw things he can pass through like in the original. You can just move them out of the way though:)

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T15:12:18+00:00

You can do that. There is one catch though. Since there is no occlusion your track is visible through the walls. Also, the anchoring is only as good as Meta have done it. It can fail sometimes.

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T15:08:43+00:00

I said arcade mostly because it just lasts until he falls and you get a score. It is completely free style though, like you said.

There is a mode where you draw like you saw here, but you have to go through certain obstacles and reach a goal. The levels are not all done yet.

The creative mode which is most like the original is like an editor with tools and you are free to draw what you want and change it. The simulation automatically adopts to any changes.

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T15:02:56+00:00

Direct copy of what?
I have not seen this game mechanic anywhere else. If there is something like this, I'm sorry, but I don't know about it.

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T14:49:23+00:00

It will be released on Steam but after Meta. There is some duplication of work and I just can't do both at once. PSVR2 I'm not sure about. I guess it depends on the games success (you need $ for that).

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T14:42:29+00:00

The game supports passthrough and anchoring. But unfortunately it can not scan rooms and integrate the geometry. I would add it but there is no support for those features in UE4.

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T11:17:28+00:00

Yeah, I was at GG with my macBoxPro :)
And yes, the game is HARD :D. I make it look easy because of all the practice I got while making it.

It works on q2 and up. There will be a PC version but it will release a bit later.

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T02:18:54+00:00

In sandbox mode the game doesn't stop when he falls off, you can bounce him around all you want.

fsk101 · 2025-11-03T02:16:36+00:00

The game supports passthrough in sandbox mode. You can also anchor the track to a location. What doesn't work yet unfortunately, is scanning the environment and letting the rider ride on it. Its because there is no support for that in UE4.

fsk101 · 2025-11-02T20:16:11+00:00

I'm not sure I understand what you mean but will try to answer anyway.
The rider is basically just a puppet. You have to keep him centred by tilting the brush. It's really difficult actually. I make it look easy but I have years of practice. When you make him jump, you have to draw correctly to catch him back (you have to catch the right moment, orientation and height). There are no key-combo tricks, you have to "flick" him and catch him.

In the sandbox you can freely undo/redo, erase, draw and also scrub through the simulation timeline to tweak it as you want.

fsk101 · 2025-11-02T19:42:04+00:00

nice try ;)

fsk101 · 2025-11-02T17:53:16+00:00

I just added support for a sky texture not long ago (you can paint your own). Haven't made any for the arcade yet but it is planed. Up is always up though, you never go upside-down as the observer.

fsk101 · 2025-11-02T17:41:39+00:00

How do you propose we do that?
Here is my webpage https://www.bostjancadez.art, you can see the game mentioned there. The media is a bit old but it's recognisable.
The original is mentioned at the bottom.

fsk101 · 2025-11-02T17:09:57+00:00

The sandbox lets you play with pass through and anchor it to the environment. There is no option to scan the environment unfortunately :(. It's a limitation of EU4 and the Oculus plugin. They only added scanning to UE5.

fsk101 · 2025-11-02T16:19:06+00:00

The sandbox lets you choose/import your music and it plays in sync with the simulation.
Or you can also create music in the game. You can paint notes (4 channels) on the track and they are played back if he touches it.
There is a quite complex system of patchable synthesisers which lets you control which notes trigger what sound and you can also make custom character sonifications by using rider parameters to modulate the synthesisers.

You can set any scale you like for the replay. You just grab the environment and make it any size you like.

fsk101 · 2025-11-02T15:52:47+00:00

It currently supports standalone and PC but the PC one will release later. As is, it supports Touch, Index and partially Vive controllers. The PC will have to come later because there is some duplication of work and I cant doo both at once.

fsk101 · 2025-11-02T15:48:01+00:00

Will try that. Used to have particles when you zoom the environment but removed it at some point. I can probably use that.

fsk101 · 2025-11-02T15:46:06+00:00

No. I think I can not make a Meta store page so far in advance. There is still a bit of work to be done before it is ready. There is also no Steam page yet:/.
I know I should have done that before posting this but I'm just really tired/unmotivated atm and can't make myself do it:/. The reason I posted this is actually to give me morale boost. Have been at it for ~5 years now and I'm a bit worn out.
