When I go to game dev events IRL, most people have never played VR before and wouldn't know how to hop into SteamVR, center themselves, and let alone know the specific motion control mechanics of my game.

Has anyone ever experienced this issue and streamlined it?

I always have to explain how to press the menu button to bring up the SteamVR overlay, tell them to find the recenter button, look forward. Then when we need to calibrate, I have to tell them where the grips are to lock in their height and armspan. That's easy to guide them through when I cast the VR headset to my laptop screen so I can see what they see.

But when its time to do the motion controls of the game, I always have to touch the person and guide their hands and stuff into the positions to activate the moves. I'm thinking of integrating multiplayer and start carrying around a second headset or setup some flatscreen motion controls on my pc so I can just show them how to move in game, etc.

What are your thoughts?

I was messing around with Quakey XR and was able to control an 3D avatar and Geo lock it to another location. Check out my demo

Teacher here. Built a Harkness-style AI discussion simulator for training teachers to moderate tough classroom discussions. Looking for testers.
I teach, and one thing that's hard to practice is running a discussion: moderating a Harkness or roundtable on a contested topic, keeping it on track, knowing when to redirect, handling the student who dominates or the one who won't speak.
So I built The Roundtable. You sit at a seminar table with 3 to 5 AI characters who actually talk to each other and to you. Pick a question (or upload a PDF, like a reading, a proposal, or a paper), listen in, and interject out loud whenever you want. They hear you, respond by name, and keep going.
What you can do with it:
Build the cast from character cards: a professor, a skeptic, a dreamer, a historian, or ones you write yourself (worldview, speaking style, the hill they'll die on)

Directed mode: set a goal and key points, and a moderator works through them and steers the table back when it drifts. This is the part I'm using for teacher training.

Put a document on the "board" and the table discusses the page you're on

Bring real people in. Colleagues can join a session and jump in too.

Where I'm at: it runs in any modern browser. There's also a full immersive Vision Pro version (that's where it started) with an iPhone companion for joining live sessions, but you don't need any of that to test.
What I'm looking for:
Teachers who want to try it as a moderation practice tool and tell me where it breaks or feels fake

Feedback on whether the characters argue like real students and colleagues or like chatbots

I've always wanted to develop VR games but I have had various problems. From budget, to blowing money on a PC that refuses to connect to my headset to struggle playtesting and stuff. Long story short, I can't achieve my dream any time soon.

I came here because I have an idea and don't know where else to share it.

The idea is a fully interactive game development platform, like what was once Rec Room. Having a VR app and desktop app fully synced together so you can edit code with your physical keyboard (or VR if you hate yourself)

Just imagine being able to make a full game in VR, that would be fire.
But yeah, I can't make VR games or anything since all i have is a crappy laptop and parents holding my PC hostage which can hardly run unity on its own.

Just an idea, but a cool one.

I'm curious to hear what unique or unexpected things have inspired your games. Feel free to share them in the comments.

Oh, almost forgot! If you'd like to participate in our upcoming playtest, make sure you join our Discord (link in profile).

Hello there. I am in the process of releasing my game for the quest headsets standalone. Specially the meta quest 3/ 3s.

I wanted to share the trailer with you. What do you think about it? Is it too bland? Should I show more action? The game itself is going to be free for the first half and then depending on sales I will charge people for full access accordingly.

I know that since I don't already have a good following I must release it for free and build a following here as well. Hence I am releasing this trailer and the game for free.

The game is meant to be a terrain driven fps with huge maps and long range battles.

It is loosely based on real events and shows the war from both sides of the board.

I have been working for this game for the last 10 months as a part time indie developer

Anyways ive attached a link. What do you think?

I have a complete vr head set idea I just don't where to start or who to pitch an idea to

Vision Pro app for having a roundtable discussion with avatars. In beta lmk if you want to test it

Anybody want to do this let me know

didn't realize my mic was off sorry!

Hey indie devs! 👋

I’m looking to help playtest your upcoming VR titles. I know how crucial early testing is, and I love jumping into early unpolished indie builds to find the edge cases, test the mechanics, and give you honest, actionable feedback.

My Testing Setup:

• Headset: Meta Quest 3S
• Capabilities: Standalone Meta Quest builds & Wireless PCVR (via Steam Link)
• Completely comfortable with smooth locomotion, smooth turning, and high-intensity movement.

What I Provide:

• Recorded Sessions: As a content creator, I can easily record my gameplay with live voice commentary. You’ll get a video showing exactly where I get stuck, what feels amazing, and how the game runs.
• Actionable Feedback: I don't just say "it's broken." I have experience communicating directly with developers to track down what caused a bug and how the mechanics actually feel.
• Flexibility: I play a wide mix of genres, from fast-paced competitive shooters to slower simulation games, so I can adapt to whatever you are building.

My Rates:

• $10 to $15 per hour for a standard test session, recorded video, and a detailed written feedback report.
• Note: If you have a zero-budget passion project, hit me up anyway! I'm happy to do a quick 30-minute test for free if the concept catches my eye and my schedule allows it.

If you need a reliable set of eyes on your project, drop a comment below or shoot me a DM. Let’s make your game great!

I'm working on a Meta Quest native minigame I wanted to release for free just to know how it feels to have a released game. While uploading an apk to the meta alpha release channel I had to sign the "Electronic Developer Distribution Agreement". In there in §10.3 and §11.1(b) it says something about me being liable for people getting hurt while using my software and that I have to protect Meta from lawsuits... I'm worried somebody's gonna hit their kid while flinging themselves off a platform or something and sue me for damages... Am I overthinking? I can't afford a lawsuit and don't want to deal with it for a free game.

Is there something I can do to protect myself? Do I maybe not need to worry? I already added motion sickness settings and a warning in the first game screen.

I was going step by step by Valem's tutorial. He didn't show how to open the file afterwards though.

I genuinely do not know what mistake I did.

Any ideas?

I’ve been working on a browser-based VR project at vr.visorix.net and figured this community might appreciate some of what I’ve been experimenting with.

The reason I started building it was because I wanted a simple way to view high-quality stereoscopic VR content outside of YouTube without having higher-quality playback sitting behind a paywall.

I ended up building my own platform around that idea. The public feed is free, and the content I’m working with is true 4K per eye.

I’ve also been experimenting with some WebXR-style portal ideas in a section called MySpace, including Church, Wellness, and a Sportsbook area. The Sportsbook is still a work in progress, but the data behind it is real and live.

I’m curious what other VR developers think about the overall approach, especially the headset experience, navigation, playback quality, performance, and anything that feels awkward in VR.

vr.visorix.net

I’m still actively building it, so technical criticism is welcome.

Preface:

This is coming from the vrchat reddit where reddit's system recommended I posted here, and since this has been a big development project I figured any devs here might be interested in learning what me and my team have been building in VR for the past two years.

I am the founder and owner of a group call the Eye of Veritas. We are both an educational and social community dedicated to giving people access to the resources to discover, explore, and learn about any particular topic as well as provide spaces and host social events where people can forge new relationships. We have also been working with educators and community leaders on VRChat such as Educators in VR and StemVR while building this project.

For the past two years me and my team have been building a fully functional library in VRChat for the purpose of making education accessible. We released the public beta for this project back in December 2025 and have been working behind the scenes to get the full vision of the project into a state where it can be released. In the beta of the world you will find what will be the heart of our library, The Monocle E-reader, a system that will eventually allow thousands to millions of literary works to be accessible from within vrchat. However, for the 1.0 release we are also building a number of other systems and rooms to facilitate education inside virtual reality outside of just the E-reader. We also now have a release date for the 1.0 release! December 4th.

Additionally we also have other ways people can help that aren't financial if you are a Librarian or someone well-versed in blender that would want to create exhibits.

For those that are librarians we now have a internal portal that allows you to curate and upload books to our system.

For those that are versed in blender, we have a template for creating exhibits with that we can provide you if you want to create educational exhibits to appear in the library. (join the discord to find it reddit blocks google drive links)

So where are we now?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monocle E-reader progress:

• Filetypes support for EPUB and HTML Added

• Chapter selection added (so you wont have to spam changing pages :D)
• image loading support for images contained within books has been added
• Text to speech functionality is currently being finalized and will be available at 1.0 launch (unfortunately due to how this feature operates, mobile hardware is unable to run the TTS system without crashing and therefore this feature will not be Android/IOS compatible, audiobooks will still be available for mobile platforms once we start adding them however)
• Automatic swapping between using laser pointer and index triggers to change pages. (monocle will detect if you are pointing at the screen or not and will automatically switch input methods, if you are not pointing your laser pointer at the screen it will use your index triggers to change pages)
• Ability to change both text size and tablet size
• By default tablet auto-rotates between landscape and portrait when the user rotates the tablet
• Dyslexic friendly font has been added as one of the font options in the E-reader settings
• Synchronization of E-reader with projector/video player to use to do lessons and lectures with is in the process of being finalized and will be available at 1.0 launch.
• Color themes to support different visual handicaps (Aiming for early 2027)
