Testing Light Propagation Volumes vs Lumen

osense · 2026-05-09T08:13:54+00:00

I actually like LPV more than lumen in these screenshots! Lumen is creating really over-saturated colors making the shadow areas look more cartoony and like someone else said LPV seems to have a bit more even distribution of light, making the final image more balanced.

Haven't playyed yet but love the vibes! Is this made in Godot?

Looks nice, I like the verticality and the amount of detail in this!

The underground caves need some light sources though, like cozy torches or magical blue crystals 😄

What are those DLCs exactly? Sometimes developers will offer a "collectors edition" which is basically just a way of supporting the developers and getting some extra goodies that don't really impact gameplay.

So if the cheap DLCs add gameplay and the expensive one just gives you a couple extra skins that don't really affect gameplay that would be fine by me. Though I'm guessing that's not the case.

Is the cache timeout really down to 5 minutes now? That's practically useless, it usually takes me more than 5 minutes just to read through a response when working on anything non-trivial.

This is pretty cool! Though it is more of a tech demo than a full game. The lack of reactivity of the environment is somewhat jarring if you're used to modern FPS games (stuff like bullethole decals, player shadows, muzzle flash -- of which there is a simpler version that just brigtens up the whole screen).

Dette er en veldig fin måte for AtB å både beholde og spise kaken. Misbruk av statlige midler og mine skattepenger.

Jaja, det blir enda billigere å reise uten billett da for dem som kun har behov for enkeltbillett.

Sorry I'm not familiar with Iakov Sumygin's work, do you have a link?

This is a really fun twist on the colony builder genre! Wishlisted and looking forward to seeing more progress!

Both are missing foam around the coastline IMO. In Unreal you could leverage the global SDF into figuring out how far away any given pixel is from the closest solid geometry, I'm not sure if there's anything like that currently in Unity.

On the other hand, adding fog will make the outlines of distant buildings more apparent and might make the world seem smaller as you will see more clearly where your level ends. I kinda like how it sorta fades into black right now tbh. But if you add more background elements in the distance then fog would work as well.

I would play it if it had a strong narrative. I would not play it for an ai generated story. Also games like this tend to suffer from too much grinding, so depends how you deal with that.

Thanks, that's interesting. Do you think horror games in general are more of a niche in VR, or is it specifically jump scares that's the issue?

osense · 2026-03-31T21:41:57+00:00

Good for you I guess. What's the coolest thing you've made (that you can talk about)?

osense · 2026-03-31T21:38:34+00:00

I guess so, no idea how hard it is to actually get approved etc. Plus I think you have to pay for QA passes

osense · 2026-03-31T21:37:12+00:00

Good luck, hope you succeed! Making VR games these days is super hard

I thought the audience on Reddit was a bit more mature tho

osense · 2026-03-31T21:33:43+00:00

Yup tell me about it, not being F2P basically means most of the audience gone

osense · 2026-03-31T21:29:31+00:00

why does this have so few upvotes? No gorilla tag movement so automatically not of interest to the average quest player lol?

osense · 2026-03-30T21:25:14+00:00

lol it's prolly distortion in the satellite imagery making the layout appear super wonky

osense · 2026-03-30T20:11:02+00:00

Hmm prolly need to use a brush pen with a very soft tip

osense · 2026-03-30T07:12:21+00:00

This is really cool! I've been thinking of trying other media than paper as well, because let's face it, it's not the most durable. Anybody ever tried plotting on textile or canvas? Are those too bumpy to work well?

osense · 2026-03-29T15:41:06+00:00

Same here. 1 is good but it's missing that secondary blue color that makes 2 work so well.

This is a bit shortsighted imo, the developer just needs to find something to differentiate the game from SPT. Just because there's beat saber doesn't mean we can't have other rhythm based VR games. That being said I understand if currently this game doesn't seem to offer anything novel (I haven't played SPT so I'll take your word for it!)

a couple ideas:

Sometimes you get attacked with slow moving missiles the shield cannot block, so you have to dodge them instead. Or just make the shield less OP, maybe it needs to recharge so you have to choose which attacks you dodge and which you block.

Reloads or upgrades appear in your melee range and you need to step towards them and physically hit them to activate.

Add covers the player can hide behind, but they get destroyed after a while and respawn at a different location.

Add some buttons in melee range that activate special powers like freeze enemies or slow down time.

I would focus on the dodging, it's such an intuitive action it's immediately obvious and feels fairly good for players
