what i've been working on during the break!! Boy Arena VR

i had a decent roster of things to pick from when it comes to whatever side project i wanted to focus on this week, but ultimately i landed on something i've been meaning to develop further for a long time: Boy Arena VR! most of the GIFs from this post though will be taken outside of VR since it's easier to record that way, i'm still uncertain of how much i want to develop a desktop version of the game given how much of a compromise it has to be no matter what, given the physics interactions that can only work well in VR.

it's a multiplayer physics-based VR game not meant to take after any game in particular, i mostly started it as something for me and my friends to have fun with! it started all the way back in January 2021 and development has been very on-and-off since. it's pretty barebones at the moment, which is why i'm motivated to develop it further, namely focusing on a singleplayer campaign for the time being!

a goal in development is to keep the game easy to run, so even people without beefy PCs should be able to play! with that also comes the potential of there being a port for the Quest 2, but i'll cross that bridge when i get to it. this week i focused on adding an actual hand with hand poses, two-handed weapons, non-player objects with health so you can smack objects against surfaces to break them, and the first enemy which you can see above!
