Lakuza

yeah I agree on that. Alyx always comes to mind as an inventory system that never got in the way of actual gameplay.

Feel such a disconnect from the current vr market at times. I'm not a fan of physics based combat & also body pockets/pouches for storing items. From a purely consumer pov I find that both end up with me fighting with it at times when I want precision...

My 1st devlog is out for "Road to making a VR game".
I'm hoping to make this a series as I go from R&D to game release, so I hope its interesting as a behind the scenes as well as giving a boost in motivation to others making their first game too.

spent today recording, editing first devlog of my standalone game journey as well as making a plan for future devlogs. Hopefully to document my progress from R&D stage to deciding on what game I want to make all the way up to completion of that project 🤞

ahhh, its been so hard not to talk about this for ages! Bullet Time Agent is coming to steam and Meta Quest Store!
This has been in the planning for a long time with Studio CyFi handling the standalone release for both PC VR and Quest! Please show them a lot of support by wishlisting on steam❤️

Thanks 😁

thanks :)

Holy shit Bullet Time Agent being untethered from the hellscape that is VR chat is a much welcome surprise. Did a few speedruns on release and wished it was a standalone game.

Extremely fun game, if you like difficult games where you punch shit this is 1000% worth wishlisting

congrats on beating the game 🙌
I read your review in the alt text, it was a generous review, thank you so much 🙇‍♂️ (and yeah, the criticism is completely understandable too 😁). Glad you liked it.

Bullet Time Agent completion screen Completion Time: 9:32:46.945 Deaths: 498 Kills: 295/300 Time Essence Absorbed: 36/55 Cipher Bots Collected: 5/10 Whereas most games in the VRChat Games tab are party games or idlers, BTA is an experience that will have you sweating no matter what platform you're on. It eases you into its mechanics with its platforming and puzzle solving, while gradually ramping up the intensity on the combat before throwing you into FPS bullet hell action, the likes of which I haven't seen since Drunken Robot Pornography in 2014 (It's a real game, look it up). The bosses were easily the highlight of the game, but could have been spaced out better. The second of my three streams was completely devoid of them before hitting me with two bosses in the final act, an unforgiving gauntlet of enemy encounters separating them. The final stretch was frustrating as hell, but none of the deaths felt cheap. For the nearly half a thousand times I died, I had no one to blame for myself (and that one Valkyrie unit hiding under Hildr like a child running to its big sister 🤬) In short, if you want to see the full force of what VR gaming is capable of, but can't drop the money for Half-Life: Alyx, definitely give BTA a shot. If it proves too challenging near the end, you can always backtrack for upgrades or, if worst comes to it, switch to PC controls. It was unfortunate to see Lakuza part ways with VRChat when he did. Climbing Trials: Colossus was one of the first worlds I ever played, and JSR Festival is just an all-around great world that I still come back to now and then. Seeing a “small prototype” grow into something so expansive over the course of six years, you couldn't have asked for a better send-off. To reiterate what I said on-stream, “I could not be more grateful for all that he's done, and I'm wishing him all the best in his future endeavors.”

...and here's a photo of me grinning at a save point when I happened to reach 420 deaths

During last night's #VRChat stream, I finished Bullet Time Agent by @lakuza.bsky.social. My final thoughts are in the first photo's Alt. text

yeah, cyanlaser was pointing me to this too when I was mentioning that red's system would work in URP. I had no idea unity 6 had advanced their own light probe system too, will definitely catch up on this. Thanks :)

is it cross compatible between standard and urp? I've been trying out URP (with the assumption that standard isn't as future proofed anymore). Not sure which one I should stick with between the two yet since I'm focusing on learning logic right now before looking into shader/lighting differences.

Thanks, I doubt I'll ever jump in for world hopping like I used to. I'll most likely just jump on vrc to play whatever the next big adventure world is and then not log in until the next big one comes out 😆

similar to me when I started back in 2018. I could animate and model character/environments(but not for realtime, I had pre-rendered background), and I had zero experience in game engines like unity. We all have to start somewhere, but with time and dedication you'll get the rest of it.

yeah thats fair. Glad you did return though because you ended releasing one of the biggest upgrades for worlds in a while. Just a shame I was on the way out as that became available, so I never got round to use the new light probe system.

Thanks.
When the sandbox starts getting closer to standalone for complexity, might as well leave the sandbox XD

thanks :)

Thanks :)

I went on an indefinite break from VRChat world creation back in May, with the intention to explore other platforms/options.
I won't be returning to VRC as a world creator anymore, the break from it is now permanent.

So what did I choose?
Standalone games for platforms like...
(see image for more)

Never expected back in 2018 that I would EVER consider going standalone, time flies 😁 Going from no experience back then to where I'm at now, still scary though xD

Thank you and good luck with your projects too. :)

Thats definitely possible, but for now I'm still focusing on learning new stuff in prep for a new project.

Thank you :)

Thank you 😁
