My Journey into VR Gamedev (ft. Godot 4)

Ғылым және технология

I got into VR through somewhat unconventional means. After thousands of hours of experience in playing VR games, I decided to finally jump into VR game development with Godot 4 since they just recently added official XR support.

    I just found out about Blockbench, so I'll probably be trying that instead of Blender soon. Texturing is quite tedious in Blender.

    It is kind of tedious but I actually kind of prefer Blender since is a tool I've used before. I'm currently using it for this exact same style, you just gotta get a hang of it. Plus, I think that getting experience in a more specialized software such as Blockbench could be less attractive for a portfolio compared to expercience in a more widely used tool such as Blender.

    Blenders definitely an entanglement, especially for low poly models. But the pixelate and scale nodes in the composition editor make it really useful to get a ps1 inspired effect on your models. Usually I go with 0.250 to render the model, and 4.00 for the display in the scale nodes.

    As someone who started in pygame and has begun working in godot 4 this is really cool to see! If you happen to make any 2d games I would be really interested in seeing your experience and how you transition from pygame to godot. Seeing your adaptability to VR is really making me want to get into 3D stuff now though. Great video!

    Proper 2D is completely different. If you meant 3D, but on a 2D display rather than VR, it can be done. Games like No Man's Sky have ported successfully to VR, but typically games made intentionally for VR are better experiences.
