Hello!
This is the first monthly dev log for DMVR. I have never really done one of these before, but I feel like with how inactive DMVR has seemed it would be a good idea to start doing them so that you guys know what's going on, what to expect etc and to get some insight into any new things we have worked on.
Some of these posts might not have as much content as others. Sometimes the content might be a lot more technical than visual. Ill be aiming to have them out on the first of...

One of our programmers, Brogrammist, has been working hard on revamping the VR duel interactions and has created a sneak preview video showcasing some of the features! After testing it myself, I can say that its going to make dueling feel a lot more immersive :)
We are currently in the progress of hooking it into the netcode while Brogrammist continues to improve the interactions. No date on when it will make it into the patreon build but once its in it should fix all the VR weirdness p...

Hey!
Sorry for the delay in getting the update out, rebuilding all the systems is taking some time. Currently, we are focusing on reworking the games UI system (which is my least favorite thing to do). Working towards getting this update finished so that we can run a patreon test in the future.
As soon as the client build is working, we will get it released to patreons via the launcher. Feel free to ask questions in the #patreon discord channel relating to the update, I'll try to ans...

Welcome to the first Patreon exclusive monster poll! The plan is to host one of these at the start of every month, and have them modeled, implemented and released with a game update at the end of the month! Each month we hope to have larger packs as we figure out the exact amount we can accomplish in the given timeframe :)
We were planning on changing how commissioning works, however the new system is not fully finished so it looks like we are going to continue with how thing...

Howdy!
Next month we are planning to increase the patreon <-> DMVR input and refine the rewards patreons get. Part of this will include us changing how we decide which monsters to implement on a monthly basis. To kickstart this off, it will be helpful for us to get a feel for which type of monster card people would be interested in.

The future direction of this game will be DMVR 2.0. This game will not just be Yu-Gi-Oh.
Although it’s still heavily in development, we here at the DMVR team feel it’s important to be transparent about our future plans for DMVR.
It will be a more generic system akin to Dreams or Table Top Simulator or VRChat with Yu-Gi-Oh being one of the games that you can play.
If you are donating to the game as a Patron, be aware that DMVR 2.0. will f...

For February 2020, we pushed up a few Patron builds in this Discord. The beginnings of v0.10 builds, which has now become public: v0.10.69 on the Discord.
In this build, we added 5 new decks with the corresponding models with the help of Anthony Yanez and Akato and Artorikus and Zeak and more.
- We added the variant system to make structure decks more replayable.
- Every win with a structure deck goes into unlocking that structure deck's variant versions with new spells and...

This time around we probably fixed most of the new buggy stuff.
Thanks to IceShadeComets who made and balanced the new decks.
Thanks for Inanis_Cor for staying up with me until 8 AM in the morning where we balanced all the Deck Masters, discussing how to make them not overpowered at all!

Today I am announcing my roadmap for what is currently called DMVR 2.0. It's a full rewrite of DMVR from the ground up with a focus on extensibility and performance. One of the main issues with the current code base is its dependencies on third party tooling and libraries, which makes it hard to build upon.
I have currently been given full reign over the Patreon and project. Without the Patreon, this whole project wouldn't be possible.
With the current Patreon funds, I ...

My YouTube channel was terminated as a means to silence me (but it was later restored). We received some aggressive e-mails. I tried my best to make this game better, and I'll continue to do so ...

Hey patrons, I know that we promised you an exclusive build at the beginning of every month.
But since we made two builds in December, the December 3, 2018 Local Build and the December 23, 2018 Christmas Build, we're behind schedule since we also made a public build on January 2, 2019.
So this month and February's build will be at the end of January, so that we can build more updates like including Yugi's and Kaiba's decks properl...

I've been catching up to speed with integrating all the VR devices.
Floating duel disks and Vive controllers look cool, but what really makes a difference are the avatars.
We want to live the role. We want to be an actual duelist.
I want a body. I want arms and legs.
We integrated the multiplayer avatars this month to allow duelists to meet each other and really live the game as a duelist.
More to come! Wait till you see the multiplayer VR dueling system!

Hi everyone, here's a duel that J and I did to show more of the cross-platform functionality.
UI wise, it might look the exact same as what we had back in November 2017, but underneath the covers, we're working with that authoritative server.
What's next?
1. Fix functionality for saving decks. Deck editing isn't where we want it to be yet. Website needs work while the VR side feels so clunky!
2. Make sure that the lobby system works properly. We want to do...

I know that we wanted to do an Alpha last month, but there were game-breaking network bugs with our server code, so we had to delay.

Example of a network bug that would have killed the experience if we were to release the Alpha in May:

We went to SJSU's Gamer Gala 2 at their 2nd Floor Student Union Ballroom to demo some Yugioh AR and Yugioh VR! I had a lot of fun and learned from observations of new players trying the game out.
What we can improve
- More cards need to be automated. We left the more complicated cards still manual.
- Slow duels because there's still no tutorial. Especially in AR, we need to add more indicators to guide the player on what exactly happened. Sound effects are...
