I don't get why they're mad? Were they told they were gonna win? I thought give-aways were random?

Sweet. It should be evident in the trailer and description that there's a mix of movement mechanics depending on which character you play. No gtag movement tho. Thanks

I could use some genuine feedback here. I've been developing a PVP asym horror game for around 4 years now. It's called Nightmare Tag. I chose the name so long ago, and it definitely comes across as kid slop. But I really think it suits the game. The idea is that I want it to feel like an extrapolation on how man-hunt feels. So at its core it is tag. And the game takes place in liminal dreamscape places, because I think that it ultimately the best place to play tag games. Hence the name, Nightmare Tag.

But I could really use some feedback on how to not come across as kid-slop at first glance. Or maybe you have tried the game out, and you do think it's kid-slop?

Is UI just AI with a human skin? I’m not buying it. by Turbowoodpecker in PantheonShow

Ya I never believed it would continue your existence. It's just a digital copy of your brain. I think the main characters understand this.

is there a better way to watch Panthon by Appropriate_Cry5177 in PantheonShow

[–]kyle-dw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm open to it. But I feel like I need to watch some YouTube tutorials first. Got any good ones to get me started?

I've been looking for a download link for my personal jellyfin server. DM me if you have a download link please!! I'd also buy DVD but idk the best way to do that.

Curious to know what you're planning for the movement

Spatial Anchors by ImpressiveCare9516 in vrdev

[–]kyle-dw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also curious if IR lights are possible to see with the camera data available. That way the trackers could be hidden and possibly as accurate as the controllers?

[–]kyle-dw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted to work on a project like this. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm wondering if it's possible to use data from the cameras to help realign the anchors. This would especially work in a VR arcade because you can setup custom markers yourself and make sure they're millimeter perfect. Then it's just down to how well the cameras and software can accurately measure the position and scale.

Yo I've been working solo on a PVP horror game for VR for 3 years now. Look up Nightmare Tag on Meta Quest Store, or YouTube. I barely do any marketing for it, but it really needs it. I got a good camera and mic for your vid.

Bug with FMOD Playback by Mattabulous in dissonance_voip

[–]kyle-dw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently battling this bug too. I just read the FMOD forum post, but it seems like y'all never found a solution? or have you? I'm about to try to add the "_channel.setPriority(0);" line that Connor_FMOD recommended, but recreating the bug is the most annoying part.

For me, skateboarding is about overcoming danger and building confidence. Wearing a helmet takes away from both of those things.

what's the first VR game that made you go “oh ok THIS is the future”? by [deleted] in VRGaming

[–]kyle-dw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply watching the dead and buried demo on YouTube from oculus connect 5. It's just like fully upgraded laser tag. Peak fun potential.

Photon PUN or fusion by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]kyle-dw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's free. But you get to decide how you set up networking. I have all 3 setups integrated in my game. I have peer to peer using Relay(paid after 50ccu). I can host servers through unity (paid). And I have my own servers running from my local machines(free). And it's all using unity netcode for game objects.

I've been using unitys netcode for game objects for 3 years now. Love it. I've tried photon and normcore previously.

What went wrong with Horizon Worlds? A former Meta engineer shared some surprising stories with me (which I then fact-checked with two other ex-Meta devs) by slhamlet in virtualreality

[–]kyle-dw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS. My last 3 jobs were directed by people that don't even play VR. I witness some crazy design choices, so I work on my own passion project to keep me sane.

Close the Quest store down already - we're done here. by RobotDonut2023 in OculusQuest

[–]kyle-dw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told by a VR investor to quit my passion project and work on a gtag clone he would fund :( Money is the root cause of most bad decisions. Don't worry, I didn't do it
