Uploaded this in an Internet cafe at 5am in Tokyo 😅 only place I could find fast enough internet. Thank you for being there everyone. I literally owe everything to you guys. Hopefully the channel isn’t punished too harshly for not uploading. It’s been rough lately but I’m back in it! Much love and have a great day. WE ARE VR!!

Thrill.. from a 48yr old who's seen everything from the original Pong to the most cutting edge tech today, I don't think you need to stress about the future of VR. Sure, sometimes new stuff takes a while to get going - you always get the naysayers who 'don't see the point', but if we look at the recent past in tech, things have absolutely blown up - I mean, the Internet itself took a while to get going and now look where we are... I think what I'm saying is things can't happen without people like yourself enthusing about it - KZread, for all its sins - is a very powerful platform, and it WILL push the message out there that VR and AR is a thing. Yes.. I wish the PSVR2 hadn't been such a flop - but that's pretty much on Sony - and yes, I wish Meta hadn't dominated the VR space for so long as I firmly believe that, while the hardware is awesome, the marketing strategy has been utterly baffling and has done WAY more damage than anything else. Keep making the videos... keep entertaining the fans.. and most of all... keep believing.

Thank you for creating hl2vr mod and delivering to the people for FREE. Brought me back to my childhood plying half-life 2 with my dad. Being inside the game for the first time gave me a mystical experience I was practically crying. Also the game is just so immersive and smooth and well optimized for VR. Just thank you. The game feels like it was made for VR. The gunplay and platforming, puzzles etc translate perfectly to VR. 💛

You & your team are responsible for enabling one of the greatest gaming experiences ever! HL2-VR (and also RE4-VR on Quest2) really prove that most of those classic FPS of the 00's can be converted to VR. Imagine F.E.A.R, Bioshock, Metro, Halo in VR....

As a longtime sw engineer (40 yrs) it is good to see you enjoying building your own thing! It can be frustrating and sometimes infuriating but just keep your cool and be curious when things don’t work as you expected. Always be learning. Best of luck to you!

Devlogs are actually one of my favourite videos to watch on YT whenever I'm learning Blender or Unreal Engine or even Unity because it's oddly inspiring seeing what other people are working on, it'd be sick to see one of those on this channel! Welcome back Thrill 👏

Thank you for being you Thrill

This is why I love this guy, he genuinely loves what he talks about and loves his community. I discovered his channel a few months ago and I’ve already watched almost every video. He made me get back into vr and he makes me super excited about what’s next for vr. This guy is AMAZING.

Thrill, I'm glad to hear that you took a break for yourself (voluntary or not). I couldn't imagine consistently uploading awesome and greatly edited videos every week for even more than a month. And as for devlogs, I would love to see devlogs from you! You're one of the main reasons why I got into VR and my go to person whenever I need advice on such a topic. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yourself and I can't wait to see what's coming up in the future, whatever it may be.

I would absolutely LOVE a devlog series! I watch devlogs all the time and would love to watch you do it too! I personally have been in the gamedev space since a bit before Covid and its hard but so worth it! My advice is to keep the scope small and do it how you want, how you enjoy doing it. Good luck!

Moving is stressful enough without worrying about other things on top of it, so i think it's good you took a break from producing videos this past month. That's really exciting that you're working on a game!

I've had my quest for about 18 months now and even if I never get anything new for it anymore I will 100% have periods of peaking VR interest over the years. Oh and shout out to the flat2vr community, you guys are the lifeblood of PCVR!

Love hearing from you again and also that you took some time off! Your videos have sparked me when I’ve been low and voiced my feelings on the incredible potential that I feel for this space when I have a mind melting moment of immersion. Thanks for all you do, much love.

Thrill! We would all LOVE to see devlogs! Devlogs are some of my favourite videos to watch (dani where have you been T-T) and i think this community would be ecstatic to see some devlogs on your game. also love the vids its great to hear you talk about vr stuff again :)

Glad you're back, but also glad you got a break! Also excited to hear you're working on a VR game! Devlog stuff would be super interesting no matter how or where the development goes. It'd just be cool to hear more about what you're up to in that endeavor!

I am very excited to see what kind of game you will make for VR, I'm sure if there's anyone out there able to make a great VR game it's you, and I'd love to see updates on it!

Everyone needs a break every once in a while and you’re no different. Life gets in the way. You are also following your passion so you do what you need to do! If your KZread numbers start falling, we’ll just rewatch your other great videos over again! We will always have your back! Thank you for all that you do for VR and this community!

I will 1000% watch your dev videos. Great to hear you got a break and great to get you back!

I'm a new VR user (partially thanks to your videos), and I am having a blast. Super excited to see where this industry goes.

Welcome back, man! As for VR dying down lately, I'm more inclined to believe it comes back more during the winter months.

Good luck to your new endeavors! Keep up the vids and I will keep watching. You helped me push to go all in with VR and I love it. I am losing weight with my KAT C2 and getting some mental health breaks from my crazy life atm. Keep up the great work!

You literally got me into VR with Phia and i met in the past year so many awesome persons, that i am even just weeks before visiting one of them! Been a hell of a ride and i am looking forward what the future holds for VR! :) Keep on doing that good stuff, i love the energy behind you for doing those videos :D

The state of VR is going to get really interesting considering we were down the AR path already in 2014 & 2015 with VR phone passthrough. It was then all but abandoned when the stand alone headsets came out at least for the standard consumers. Now it's back after 9 years and I think we will see many AR improvements and AR enhanced capabilities. I am excited for the new gen of AR and the updates to VR in general. Of course as stated it will ultimately be up to the software. Might have to hop back on the dev horse sometime soon myself.

Regarding AR, it goes back even further. The 3DS was doing that back in 2010, as were the phones of that era. They just werent using AR for VR purposes.

That’s awesome that you’re making a game. But wow, that’s gotta be difficult. I don’t expect it to be good, not because I doubt your ability, but because of how learning new things works. I wouldn’t be suprised if this game was simply a learning experience to be restarted later. Definitely share more about it, you will learn a ton from other developers

When I saw the notification of your video drop I got super excited, I don't participate in any community very often, but I just wanted to say you are a creator I found on my own, you answered my initial question and so much more. For the past maybe 3 years of watching your stuff I can honestly say I've enjoyed your content. So, Thanks Thrill. 😊

It was a very insightful and inspirational video. Making me look even more forward to what VR has in store over the next few years. Keep up the good work and as always, just loving your content.

Dude you deserve your break, thank you for your contributions to the vr community

Been following you since 10k subs :) Love your channel and I really hope VR continues to develop. I imagine with AI taking all our jobs, a virtual economy is going to be needed. I believe most will just work in VR

You are mine and probably many others go to channel for anything vr/ar. We love what you do! Your channel is the only channel I always know what I’m going to watch but also has the element of something new and exciting. Keep it up because you deserve it! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Commenting to help boost. Glad to have you back! You my favorite VR news creator anywhere so was super excited to see a new video drop.

Really, really, REALLY, appreciate all the content you've put out there. There are a few things that I search for on a regular basis, being sure never to miss any episodes, and yours is one of them. Some others before me have said it better, so I won't repeat what they've already said, but it's important work that you've done. Thank you so much, and I will absolutely buy your game - If for no other reason than to try to express my gratitude.

I've been here since day one man. And you are still the best, most interesting, most entertaining vr videos out there. I've been in gaming since Atari and ran a chain of arcades in the early 90s. So yeah, im 48 too. Opening up today was awesome man and that month break will keep you fresh. Do it more than once my friend, you deserve it!

Heck yeah! Missed you and love the long term outlook. There are ebbs and flows and that's with everything we're passionate about. I have 2 Quest Pros and a Quest 2 because I enjoy getting to do fun co-op things with family and friends from shooters to mini golf. They're timeless activities. When things get even better, I'll be celebrating those moments as well. Best of luck on your game! Can't wait to try it. Solo dev is super daunting but rewarding nonetheless and I believe your community has your back no matter what. Thank you for doing what you do and for being vulnerable about everything.

Honestly, meta has done an amazing job bringing VR to consumers, love them or hate them. I can't wait for super immersive tech that can basically make you feel like you're in the room with someone on the other side of the planet and have otherworldly experiences. I haven't played VR in a while and have a Rift S but I was waiting for the Deckard for a while now.

8 ай бұрын

Theyre neat, but I don't think thats the real game changer. The pancake lenses, increased resolution and refresh rate, and the return of actual ipd adjustment is bigger imo. The problem with both the quest 1 and 2 is that they both have a really bad screendoor effect, and the lenses used create distracting lighting artifacts. I think with the quest 3, its more important that the overall user experience is more comfortable.

Thrill! I knew something was missing from my life. 🎉 Glad you're back!

I just found your channel and have just recently started getting into VR/ AR. I`m excited about all the possibilities! I`m very familiar with getting a bit burnt out even with things that you love and have a passion for. Just take a step back and focus on other things for a bit and come back with a fresh mind and a new perspective! I love to see your passion and honesty here and that's why I`m subscribed now... I look forward to more content!

Yay you’re back! Also as I was watching the video I was thinking that the sound design of your game is gonna be sick! I really love your music too I’m excited to what that’ll bring to your game!

Well deserved break! Great video as always Thrill, happy to see another video from ya! ❤

honestly, there is no rush and no pressure on making videos, it's very cool that you became so transparent here.

Super exciting stuff. hell yeah I’d love to see some devlog content. happy you had a good break. I’m hoping the quest 3 really hits the nail on the head w/some new very needed software

Welcome back. We missed you but self care is key! Looking forward to your VR project and loving your content.

Awesome update! Always love listening to your thoughts and ideas on the future of vr. It's so mind blowing to me that we're here. I grew up playing NES, thinking VR would be something I wouldn't see until i was old and grey (well...older than 37 at least). I'm pretty happy with using my quest 2 for vr sim racing fpr now. My 5700xt can't barely keep up with the demand for the quest 2, no reason for me to get a more gpu intensive headset until I build an entirely new pc...which will be awhile. Any chance you would take an episode to talk about what kind of PC setup you have? Thanks for always being so awesome!

Didn't know how much I missed Tuesday Newsday untill the intro started playing. Glad to have you back!

Hope your game is great! I'll buy it either way because I enjoy your reports and news so much. Thanks Man, you're awesome.

I can only imagine the work and dedication, can't be easy. Thank you and keep it up even if it's a bit less frequent. It's all well done.

Just a joy to listen to you and VERY interested in the VR game/experience you are cooking up 🎉❤

welcome back, been missing these videos

Hey there Thrill. Something you should know is nobody does this like you do. You don't have to be perfect at this, we come to see you so you don't need to try and make everything perfect. Take the time you need whenever you need, we'll still be here. Though I would be sad if you left for good. As another person who really wants to see VR succeed (and has been working towards that end for a very long time), I totally get the ups and downs getting to you. It's so annoying seeing a tech with so much promise get sidelined because of a couple of small niggling issues we don't have a great answer to yet. But we will, it will get better! Also I love watching devlogs, could be good for people to see VR-specific design decisions and problems too! I'd definitely watch devlogs made by you.

Thank you for making this video Thrill, I'll be completely honest on saying my headset has probably been in storage for atleast 3 months maybe more just cause of that dry feeling. Just never really felt like continuing but I do enjoy the possibility of VR aswell. I plan once I have things more planned put and organized to crack it out of the case. Keep up the amazing work and take your time getting settled.

Taking 'time off' once in awhile is a great thing - it brings clarity & freshness. Glad you're back.

Good to have you back!

I went down a similar path as you. I started a VR KZread channel when the original Quest came out, and due to the lack of content decided to try my hand at development and my title has shot up to the top 5 apps on App Lab and stayed there over the last 2 years and is now my career. I am just about to update my app from a single detailed dark ride, to an online, open world Theme Park with that one initial ride so far that allows you to ride with loved ones and family which is surprisingly magical. No idea where it is all going, but it does appear people want a VR Theme Park, especially one with my next ride, The Haunted Castle. I wish you all the best with your development too. It is a very challenging and rewarding space for sure.

Coolest news ever, Thrill, looking forward to whatever you end up putting out!
