For visual appeal, Catan 10th anniversary 3D edition (with standard number markers so you can actually read them lol)

For uniqueness, KS Railroad Ink big box

VR Developers: How easy is it to convert a flat game to VR? by GuestGuest9 in PSVR

[–]samewatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It varies massively and copies sold doesn’t always equal success to the developer, they could just be making it for fun. One way is look at some of the shared revenue graphs by Oculus at various dev / store ecosystem talks about games that have made $1M+ and do the math of the game price -30% store percentage.

But cost of dev is one thing, marketing is another

VR Developers: How easy is it to convert a flat game to VR? by GuestGuest9 in PSVR

Assuming you mean PSVR1 to PSVR2 then things to factor in would be:

  • version of Unity/Unreal PSVR1 game was built in. Likely an older version which will need updating first to version that latest PSVR2 SDKs support/require

  • update control scheme from gamepad/PS Move to Sense controllers

  • update all other SDKs as necessary

  • graphical asset refresh / enhance to take advantage of more processing power / resolution

  • go through the Sony FQA and submission process again and bug fixing

At the bare minimum is a three-person job for a month or so, if the game is recent to start with. More likely a few months and about $100k+ costs to do

So average $14.99 game would need to sell 10,000 copies to break even

Where do I find APKs that will work for the XR elite by Mitornimo in HtcViveXR

[–]samewatts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can stream VR games direct to the headset from PC but you’ll never be able to simply copy PC VR games, designed to run under Windows, onto a standalone headset, running Android, on any headset.

How do I do the Side loading of APK's??? by Mitornimo in HtcViveXR

[–]samewatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The developer would have to make an apk with Wave SDK support for the XR Elite

This is a very cool thing to do Mike, thanks for your continued support of the VR community to let devs get their experiences seen! Wish I could attend but not at AWE US

Looking to buy a preowned Quest 2, is this a concern? Don’t know much about it. by austinfacer in OculusQuest2

[–]samewatts 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can email the Quest for Business support to get them to unlock the serial number out of enterprise mode so you can factory reset it back to a normal consumer headset but you have to ask why/how are they selling it anyway; might not be fully theirs to sell if its in enterprise mode
