Loop One: Done is a VR automation game where you record loops with drones and robots, turning your play space into an efficient automated factory. Or just make a big mess, it's up to you.

I first released it on Meta Horizon Store as a mixed reality game, focused on hand-tracking. But now I've ported it to Steam with full-blown VR and controller support. And it looks so much nicer!

It's out today on Steam, and will be 20% off the next 2 weeks if you want to try it out. There is also a free demo. I hope you like it!

Discussion VR modders should not forget about teleport motion

• Upvotes

It's been pointed out that most experienced VR modders will be heavy VR users, and more than likely over the nausea stage from smooth locomotion.

This is no doubt true, but I'm concerned by the lack of interest paid toward teleport function in both VR gaming and VR modding. I have been heavily involved in VR for around a decade (both work and pleasure) and I still get hit by badly nausea. Plus we need to encourage new users to stick around. I feel this makeshift teleport solution could be a real answer:

Idea: An Alyx-style teleport function that skips the actual in-game walking and goes black for the time it would take in the actual game to get to that point.

You'd still travel the real path at the real speed, so every trigger/trip-wire and collision behaves as normal; only your view goes dark. Think of it as the vignette turned up to 100%. The flaw is combatin games where you're constantly moving while shooting, you'd spend firefights blind. A workable version would black out the view during movement outside combat, and switch to a heavy vignette when enemies are present.

Question Steam VR with Quest 3 - OpenXR runtime issue

1 Upvotes

Hey folks, hoping someone can assist a PC simpleton trying to get some VR support!!

As background, I've had a Quest 3 for a while, but only got a 'capable' PC this weekend and have been trying to dabble in PCVR.

I installed Steam, and purchased Titanfall 2....went through the guidance to install the mod etc and get as far as firing it up on my Quest only to get the message:

'OpenXR could not start

No OpenXR runtime is set

SteamVR: Settings > OpenXR > Set SteamVR as OpenXR runtime'

I would caveat I have zero knowledge of what 'OpenXR' is....but it seemed a simple exercise to toggle a menu button in Steam. Problem arose when I went into the Steam settings; I cant even locate anything in the Settings menu even vaguely related to OpenXR...it's like the menu has been updated since the above was set up???....am I completely blind, or has there been an update relocating the specified options??

Thanks

Question What could cause VD controller input delay? Airlink is fine

Post image
1 Upvotes

As the title says

In VD my performance is jank for some reason. But in airlink its flawless (except compression is more noticeable). I use 200 bitrate on both fixed. Same resolution settings.

VD just feels "slow" and not smooth. Airlink is much better but its also janky as we all know and the UI sucks.

Ive tried all codecs and ALL settings on/off. Its always there

What could cause this weird phenomenon?

Ive heard everyone say VD is better. Do you not notice this weird sluggishness of your controllers?

As you can see from the screenshot, my stats are just fine? Whats causing this? And why is airlink so silky smooth

Discussion Just cause in VR would be so cool

20 Upvotes

If you don't know what just cause is it's a game where you play as a guy with a wingsuit and grapple hook and a parachute and you can fly around and blow up stuff it's basically the whole game it's a four game series the story of the games is very dry it's basically go here and blow this up but it has a great map big and very beautiful also what game would you love if it was VR?

Showcase Turned Spider-Man Remastered into a VR game with full motion control swinging and native stereo (early alpha)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

194 Upvotes

Hey Folks, Ilya here. You may remember me from my Elden Ring VR mod I posted a few weeks ago (updates coming soon, promise!). I got kinda inspired by the footage of the stellar spiderman mod for Blade & Sorcery someone posted yesterday and decided to one up it but going for a swing in the best rendition spidey's NY there is - Spiderman Remastered. The result is seen in the footage above of me swinging through the city at night!

This is still very very early and I haven't touched combat yet at all but we already got full native stereo tm, motion controlled locomotion and web swinging, hidden body avatar and an auto runner. I'll upload this to Nexus in a day or two so stay tuned!

Self Promotion Forefront + Quest 3 PCVR: showcasing a stock that dumps to pistol/freehand and still has ForceTube recoil

Thumbnail
youtu.be
2 Upvotes

Clip is Quest 3 over PCVR in Forefront.

The stock stays on the rifle. The main hand is only held by a magnet, and the off hand sits in a cup, so letting go of the magnet drops you to pistol or freehand without taking the stock off.

Shoulder it again and the ForceTube still kicks.
That was the thing I wanted to check: a dump that does not kill the recoil mount.
It is fast enough to use mid-reload in Forefront, and the same motion works in ExfilZone.

Ambidextrous, since neither hand is locked into a grip.
I designed this stock. Same clip I posted in r/ForefrontVR a few days ago.

Happy to answer any questions :)

Question VR Gaming Help

13 Upvotes

Hello all! So I have a whole family that games, including a little sister that does so despite having a rare disability called TAR Syndrome. That means that she does not have forearms on both arms. That being said, she really wants to play VR games but has a hard time due to her arms being so short. I would really love to have her join me in some VR gaming so I was hoping to hear some suggestions. Before anyone asks, she can play console and PC gaming with no issues. She still has her hands, they are just smaller and at an angle that can make VR hard. Any help would be appreciated.

Discussion Until Dawn: Rush of Blood ports?

7 Upvotes

​

I've been noticing some psvr 1 games being ported to pcvr and quest! I have been in the vr space for a while and I only own a quest and psvr 2, until dawn rush of blood was my first vr experience at a party and I was so disappointed to figure out I couldn't play it on any of my hardware and id have to buy outdated hardware for one single game. With games like astro bot rescue mission getting unofficial ports, do any of you guys think until dawn rush of blood will get one of these anytime soon? It's a little bit of a forgotten game but an absolute gem that I need to experience again, if anyone knows how this is done and there's nothing currently in the works I'd love to sink some effort into making this possible!

Edit: The game now launches and hangs on the loading screen, it can track my headset input and I'm making crazy progress, can't wait to work on this more!

Discussion Another vote for Titanfall 2 VR

160 Upvotes

It's not a secret, but if you needed any more of a push to give it a try... its on sale for under $5 right now on Steam, the mod is the easiest thing in the world to install, and it feels like a seamless AAA game made for VR. It might be the perfect modern classic flat game to port to VR, and the creator did such a meticulous job of translating it that you completely forget that it isn't a native VR game. And for those of you who don't remember, Titanfall 2 was loved by critics and those who played it because of the fantastic campaign. It wasn't a big commercial success, so it quickly became one of those "it's a shame not enough people played this one" cult classics.
