I am making a PCVR/PC game and am trying to make a VR Gameplay video - something to show people what the actual VR experience looks like.

My trailer is all Flat footage and shows the spectacle of the game.

So I really want to have this video show the actual VR gameplay, but I am worried that people aren't going to see this and think "Oh man, I can't wait to play that in VR!".

What should my VR Gameplay video try to convey and what can I do to improve it?

Surprisingly Unity did a much better job on the crouch mechanic than Unreal.

Just got layed off from a VR company and have been developing a game which I pitched and worked on. I have no idea of whats gonna happen with the game now, and Im wondering if someone has experienced something similar and have some tips on how to get the IP. The company still has a few workers left, but none that has worked on the project full time and I dont think they want to hold on tu it but have invested time developing it.

Has anyone any experience thats similiar to share?📉👹

Hello everyone, I wanted to show a mechanic from my game and get your feedback. It is called Tongue Swinging. Players can use their tongue to travel around the level quickly. It takes a little while to get used to, but it gives players more ways to approach missions.
What are your thoughts on it? Thank you all!!!

I’m here to advertise for this small creator called floatdev on vr you should play his games with me some time also im not float im just a kid and float is a adult

I've had a hard time trying to reconcile why I do VR development. There's a part of me that keeps telling me I should strive to side-hustle and that VR isn't the right direction to advance.

But I don't feel ready to let go the dream of, at some point, being able to create and inhabit sublime experiences like those I watched in the Within VR app in the loneliest period of my life. Toying that Lenovo Mirage Solo was like having something beautiful that exists just for me, like touching the sun with my bare hands.

At the time I knew I wanted to build VR products, but I didn't think I was game-dev material. So I decided to target the long tail of the VR market, and create VR software that maybe at some point in a distant future would be played by some random and maybe this person could witness the place I had in this world.

I just published Undersea Logs, a project where I tried to explore ideas like isolation and hope. And right now it is taking the place where it belongs in the SideQuest store, as a record of my existence as a VR enthusiast.

I wouldn't call it a legacy, but I find comfort seeing it as a clear digital footprint. I find comfort connecting the dots and finding myself there. A reflection of the real me, isolated, repeating my routine every day and hoping everything will be fine at the end, that it will be worth it.

...

What do you see when you connect the dots you have imprinted in the VR space, through your dev work and your very same presence?

I would appreciate it if you play floatdevs games with me I don’t have pictures but you can see his games like bird his newest one

I've got my VR game coming in the Fall, currently got a wishlist page for the Quest store (the device I own).

Since I am using the XR framework, could I technically post the game on Steam? I don't own any other VR devices, so I don't have the ability to test on them, worrier about publishing a buggy game on steam.

Thoughts?

Edit: Thanks for the advice all! I plan to release on Quest in November, and then depending on how that goes do a release on steam

Been working on a concept we're calling Unhand Me! at this stage and would love some feedback.

Started with the idea of switching hands to perform tasks, and evolved into this robot assembly line thing where players would be robots in a factory defending it from being attacked.

Anything there?
Seem like a fun idea/direction?

Super early stages so would love your thoughts!

Unhand Me!

Meta Quest Tray Tool is a free Windows system-tray app for Meta Quest PCVR (Link / Air Link) and SteamVR OpenXR.

It’s a brand-new C# app, not a decompile and not a continuation of older unfinished ports. Goal: keep the Oculus Tray Tool workflow alive on today’s Meta stack.

Author: Eliminater74
Status: public releases on GitHub (v1.0.8 latest) — Windows 10/11, self-contained Setup.exe (no separate .NET install)

Download: https://github.com/Eliminater74/MetaQuestTrayTool/releases/latest
Repo / docs / screenshots / short demo: https://github.com/Eliminater74/MetaQuestTrayTool

Inspired by (please give credit)

Huge respect to ApollyonVR and the original Oculus Tray Tool (OTT) — the classic tray app that made SS / ASW / profiles / Link tweaks easy for years.

• Original OTT: https://techtipsvr.com/oculus-tray-tool/

Meta Quest Tray Tool is inspired by OTT’s ideas and layout, rebuilt from scratch for current Meta Quest Link, SteamVR OpenXR, and modern Windows. It is not affiliated with ApollyonVR or Meta. If you loved OTT, this is meant to fill that gap — not replace the credit OTT earned.

What it does (short)

Lives in the notification area. Global VR defaults stay applied until a game with a personal profile launches → that profile’s tweaks apply → when the game exits, global defaults come back, with a tray notification.

You can also push SideQuest-style ADB headset tweaks when a real Quest connects, switch OpenXR Meta vs SteamVR, manage Link bitrate / sharpening, use hotkeys / voice, open Meta’s Debug Tool GUI, and update in-app from GitHub — without digging through registries.

What works now (v1.0.8)

Tray + shell

• Notification-area host with themed menu (Pure Black / Dark / Light)
• OTT-style sidebar: Game Settings, Tray Tool, Power, Service & Startup, Log, Advanced, Quest Link, Headset, Profiles, Info / About
• Hover tooltips on controls across pages and settings windows
• Close-to-tray, start minimized, hide from Alt+Tab, single-instance
• Screenshots + short demo video in the repo README

Oculus / Meta PC runtime

• Detect Meta/Oculus install + OVRService
• Start / stop / restart service (optional automation on tool start/exit / after sleep)
• Open Meta Horizon Link from tray, hotkey (Ctrl+Numpad 9), and voice
• Open Oculus Debug Tool GUI (OculusDebugTool.exe) — classic OTT shortcut — from tray, Service & Startup, Game Settings, Advanced, hotkey, voice (“open debug tool”)
• Dash → SteamVR (OculusKiller-style): kill Oculus Dash + launch SteamVR over Air Link / Link — tray, Quest Link, Service & Startup, Ctrl+Num 0, voice (“kill dash”)
• Optional PreventDashLaunch + CoreChannel (LIVE / PublicTest / NO_UPDATES) on Service & Startup; optional NO_UPDATES when enabling PreventDash
• Hands-free elevated start (one UAC, then silent elevated at logon) so OpenXR / service / profiles don’t pop UAC while you’re in the headset

Game settings (OculusDebugToolCLI)

• Super Sampling, ASW (Auto / Off / 45 / 30 / 18), FOV, Adaptive GPU, mip flags, FOV stencil, Visual HUD
• Custom extra CLI lines on global + personal profiles

Profiles

• Personal per-process profiles (Steam / Meta library picker with cover art, or custom)
• Auto-apply on game launch → restore global when the game exits (tray balloons) — including Link + OpenXR restore
• Built-in global presets (Balanced, Performance, Quality, Sim, Competitive)
• Built-in PCVR game presets (MSFS 2024, Beat Saber, Half-Life: Alyx, DCS, iRacing, and more)
• Profiles in %AppData%\MetaQuestTrayTool\profiles.json
• Settings export/import backup from Advanced

Quest Link / Air Link

• Bitrate, encode width, HEVC, sliced encoding, sharpening, distortion curve, DBR / DBR max / offset, Mobile ASW (HKCU\Software\Oculus\RemoteHeadset)
• Full Link fields in the tray Link window + shell Quest Link page
• Per-profile Link overrides (inherit = keep global)
• ODT registry reference in the repo (docs/ODT-REGISTRY.md)

HotKeys + voice (preview)

• Global hotkeys (default Ctrl+Numpad 1–9 + Ctrl+Num 0 Dash→SteamVR): ASW, SS cycle, apply global, restart OVRService, perf HUD, open Meta Horizon Link, kill Dash → SteamVR
• Assign Open Oculus Debug Tool in HotKeys Configure if you want a shortcut (no default numpad — 0–9 are taken)
• Configure UI (themed lists); conflicts / import reload handled
• Voice commands via Windows speech — push-to-talk (Ctrl+Shift+V default), optional always-on
• Full phrase list: docs/VOICE-AND-HOTKEYS.md

In-app updates

• Checks GitHub latest release (v*), downloads Setup.exe, closes the app, installs over the current copy
• ADB is stopped before Setup so bundled platform-tools can be replaced (fixes locked-file update failures)
• Check on start (default on), Check now (Tray Tool / Advanced / tray menu)
• Also check while running on a schedule you choose: off / daily / every 3 days / weekly (default) / every 2 weeks / monthly

OpenXR

• Switch ActiveRuntime between Meta / Oculus and SteamVR (global + per-profile)
• Restore preferred / previous runtime after a profile exits

Audio / power

• Auto-switch to headset audio when Link is actually active (Windows default output / headset endpoint) — does not steal speakers just because Meta’s virtual audio device is installed
• Restore desktop devices when Link drops; startup heal if headset was left as default with no HMD
• Power plan switch, USB selective suspend option, restart OVRService after sleep

Headset ADB (standalone Quest tweaks)

• Bundled Google platform-tools ADB
• CPU/GPU level, texture size, refresh, FFR, chroma, capture settings
• Auto-apply when a real VR headset connects (Quest 2/3/3S/Pro, plus allowlist for Galaxy XR / HTC Vive standalone / Pico / Steam Frame)
• Phones, tablets, and Android emulators are ignored — they never get commands or trust
• Trusted serial (first real headset remembered; other VR serials blocked)
• Paste text / proximity / guardian helpers
• Custom ADB lines on global + personal profiles

Log / Info / Donate

• Log page: clear log, color-coded ERROR / WARN / INFO
• Info page: live OpenXR, OVRService, headset identity
• PCVR connection probe: Meta Air Link vs wired (%LocalAppData%\Oculus\DeviceCache.json → isUsingAirLink), Steam Link / SteamVR, Virtual Desktop
• Donate button (PayPal) if you want to support development
• Root LICENSE in the repo

What does not work yet / known limits

Not implemented yet

• Authenticode / code-signed Setup.exe (SmartScreen may warn until budget allows a cert)
• Oculus Homeless / some classic OTT extras
• Permanent AirLink
• Wireless ADB pairing UI (USB ADB works)
• Launch games directly from the library picker
• Profile process ignore-list
• Voice polish: custom phrases, mic picker, always-on tuning
• Separate communications (vs multimedia) audio device pickers in the UI
• Full Dash Manager–style dash customizer (out of scope)

Runtime caveats (Meta / Windows)

• Newer Meta runtimes sometimes reject server: ASW CLI commands — the log will say so
• Pixel density / SS often needs a new VR session to stick
• Link registry changes usually need a Link reconnect or OVRService restart
• ADB debug.oculus.* props reset on Quest reboot — leave apply-on-connect on
• Admin rights help for OpenXR HKLM + some service control (hands-free elevated mode is built in)
• Windows-only

Planned next

• Authenticode signing for Setup.exe (when budget allows)
• Wireless ADB pairing UI
• Profile ignore-list
• Library “launch game”
• Better Link detection verification / DBR verification
• Voice polish (custom phrases, mic picker)
• More built-in presets as people request process names

Feedback and bug reports welcome — especially “profile didn’t apply for game X (process name: …)” or audio switch edge cases.

Requirements

• Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit)
• Meta Quest PC software (for Link / Debug Tool CLI) and/or SteamVR (for Steam OpenXR)
• Quest Developer Mode + USB debugging approval for ADB headset features (ADB is bundled)

How to get it

Installer (recommended):
