The conversion of Ortunia Mysteries to VR continues this week.
Today, I created the feature that shrinks certain objects when they are picked up. (otherwise the player couldn't see!) Footsteps were also added back now that the VR player is a bit more stable.

I have spent the last day cleaning up Ortunia Mysteries code. The conversion into VR means that some features (the canvas for example) don't work the same way. So, I have been removing the PC specific features and now need to add them back for VR.

Last night, on Twitch, I worked with Salsa Lip Sync for Unity with some humourous results.
The tool itself looks great though. You just need to figure out the correct configurations and how it works with animations.

The last few days, I have been looking at Salsa LipSync suite from the unity asset store. So far so good; I recommend checking it out.
I will continue with this and NPC animations the rest of the week.

Work has continued in Blender and Unity on the final scene in the game.
I have been importing the models and animations into Unity for testing. There is still work to be done, but I can start to see the scene come together.
