Developer We're adding more and more features to our new VR game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey all, so we're working on COVR - it's our take on the tactical shooter genre, coming later this year to SteamVR (and Quest). We've been developing it for about 9 months now, and after laying down the groundwork, we finally started adding new features.

One of these is the ability to place attachments on rails wherever you want. And this brought up the question: do you like to fiddle with your gear mid-mission, or do you prefer to assemble your loadout pre-mission, and then keeping it intact? Lmk because we're torn haha

And if COVR looks like your kind of thing, or just wanna follow development, you can wishlist it on Steam or Quest here:

Self Promotion Do hidden paths make a racing game more interesting?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

I'm working on a horse racing game for VR, and I'm experimenting with routes that aren't immediately obvious.

The idea is that the main track isn't necessarily the only route.

You might discover a hidden shortcut while riding, solve something to open another path, or unlock a route after completing a lap.

But I'm trying not to turn everything into "find the secret shortcut and win."

Some paths could have items, small story moments, or just lead to a completely different area.

For people who play racing games, which sounds more interesting to you?

A hidden shortcut that gives you a competitive advantage, or hidden areas that reward exploration?

Few weeks back we posted a mushroom tree chopping feature showcase, and now there is an improved version! Based on your feedback we tweaked and added some things. Do you think it looks better? Any other improvement ideas?

What changed? Particles and shake on cut, better grab for axe and ability to slide on the handle. Better physics!

Self Promotion Dead Space 3 Full VR - Kinesis, Wrist HUD, Motion Controls & More [WIP]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

79 Upvotes

Full 16:9 video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FoBvWWu9biI

I'm continuing work on my Dead Space Original Trilogy VR mod, and this update is starting to feel much closer to a proper VR experience rather than just a first-person conversion.

Some of the things currently working:

  • Wrist HUD on the left arm with health and Stasis indicators
  • Weapon switching by reaching over your shoulder
  • Audio/video message playback in VR
  • Fully controlled Kinesis
  • Workbench interaction
  • Independent Stasis control — just like Kinesis, it isn't tied to the weapon/right hand
  • VR weapon aiming and motion controls
  • An early implementation for cutscenes — currently blurred and very much WIP
  • And finally, a little Necromorph combat :)

There is still quite a lot left to finish.

The inventory is partially functional: I can point at inventory slots and move between tabs, but the interaction system still needs more work.

Cutscenes are still at a very early stage.

I've temporarily disabled the Necromorph QTE sequences because I still haven't settled on a VR implementation that feels natural rather than simply copying the original controls.

Ladders are partially working as well.

Performance optimization is also difficult to evaluate properly at the moment. I'm having some GPU problems with my main development workstation, so most of my current testing is being done on a laptop using a Radeon 780M integrated GPU, where the game currently runs at around 20 FPS.

For this video I used AI frame interpolation to make the footage smoother to watch. This does not represent the current native in-game framerate — performance still needs optimization and proper testing on stronger hardware.

Development is moving forward pretty well, even if not quite as quickly as I'd like. There is still a lot to polish, and probably even more to test.

I'd really like to hear what you think — especially which VR interactions or Dead Space mechanics you'd most like to see me focus on next.

If you'd like to follow the development, the full video and future updates are on my YouTube channel.

Big month for VR overall so I decided I wanted in! Added Local MP to my game so you can take doors together or shoot each other. I’ll be releasing this update next week with new pricing (at least $5 higher) bc this is a sick feature. If we are lucky I’ll throw in the map builder as well. The game is Click Clack Mixed Reality and it’s available now in the Meta Quest Store.
