The Joy of VR Indiedev #2 - working on hand tracking integrated with the hurricane physics interaction system - closer to a controller-free game of beer die - but still no dice

The joys of #VR #indiedev! When you think you’ve fixed the bugs but you’re actually just making them weirder.

The first demo of our new two player VR pinball battle machine was a big hit at the GDC Indie Arcade Party! One player is outside the table, one is tiny inside the table operating a cannon that can shoot at the outside player. #indiedev #gamedev #arcade
