Have you tried anything else yet? And specifically anything that doesn't require a fancy graphics card?

Our DK2 arrived at work today, but the machine it's currently connected to ain't very powerful. :(

"at work". What happened to the CF self employment thing? Where are you at now?

Re: the actual question you asked, I hear that Richard Burns Rally has been modded to work with the Rift and due to being old is quite undemanding while also being a really impressive example.

You asked the question I was going to ask.

I have not touched it for a while due to uni work. I only manage to play E:D in drips and drabs. I have a break from Uni work and 2 weeks off over Christmas so hopefully pick it up again then.

Mostly E:D at the moment. Tried HL2 and could only cope with 15 minutes of play. A few different roller coasters which are ok for one lap then you feel sick. There are a few amazing demos where you just sit back and relax that aren't too vomit inducing. 

Mostly of the time is spent trying not to throw up, I am still getting my VT legs as they call it.

You do need a powerful machine or you experience even worse motion sickness when the frame rate drops below 72fps, the smoother the better is the key to not spewing!

I am still wondering if its actually going to get big. I know its dev kit for the moment but it take a lot of fiddling to get most things working, the biggest exception is E:D which works pretty much out of the box. I am hoping the consumer version is light years ahead of the current DK2, it better be or it will only be used my enthusiasts and roller coaster fans!

Oh, I thought I'd mentioned that before. Short version: not enough clients and a recruiter pointed me at a position for a local place that had a nice vibe, no stupid bureaucracy, and where the CEO orders Oculus and Google Glass because ... well if we have them then maybe someone might figure out something that can be done with them. Been there about a year and a half now.

Thanks, Richard Burns Rally sounds just the thing... but not sure it's going to work...

From kegetys.fi/oculus-rift-mod-for-richard-burns-rally:
> It does not work with direct-to-rift mode for some reason so even the DK2 needs to be in extended mode.

I think we've only got direct-to-rift mode working; with extended mode the tracking wasn't working right. Will give it a try anyway though.

I don't get the vomit thing at all. With the first version, about one in three people had bad nausea and stuff, a similar amount were fine, and the rest were somewhere in the middle - just a bit queasy for a short while.

This version seems smoother / less severe, though obviously not tried as much yet, but if the consumer version is improved as much again as this seems to be I think it'll be ok.

Is that game where you're a dolphin and you are in dolphin school at your desk doing a test and you have to look at the other dolphins' answers when the teacher isn't looking, is that one out yet? 

How do dolphins sit?

I've not heard of that one, though there was another one where you're just at a desk and can look around - no dolphins or cheating.

I saw something today about a Mozilla JS plugin thing that can work with Cinema 4D scenes in the browser... not yet looked into details, but it does mean if I ever get my website done it should be relatively simple to add a Rift mode, which is cool.

All your answers within.

See what happens when you don't visit us regularly?  How can we live our lives not knowing if you are OK?

AND WHAT PIZZA TOPPING HE WANTS!? 

I don't think we will ever know!

Maybe the universe will implode if anyone uncovers the secret.

Jesus H. Christ

No no, dolphins! Those crazy fish.

:'D

Well i have yet to be sick but it has been close once or twice when I have chanced it a bit. It is a general feeling of of queasyness but that is not how you want to feel for a few hours whilst playing a game is it?

I've run through a couple of tutorials but found this one really good for 2D stuff. It takes you through making a game called Zombie Conga. Just finished it tonight and thinking about making something myself now.
