Nice! I'll give it a try, it is looks somehow similar to Creeper World 3.

Now to sell my house to buy a cheap used Valve Index kit...
When you ascend to your VR glory, may I come visit your VR house in my VR glory and we can have a cup of VR tea and IR coffee?

I mean like a house could cost hundreds of thousands or millions, a VR kit is only like a thousand bucks.

Edit: I hope someone makes TRON world so we can finally have a visualization.

+1 to Tron VR <3

I've no idea what this would be like for extended reading & writing sessions; but it does look pretty intriguing.
Yeap, it was quite interesting seeing all those kde apps running on a VR context. This may open to new alternatives of creating apps with more VR UX into mind but even thought, current apps still look really usable.

It would be great if the controllers were compatible with HTC Vive, I wouldn't mind spending $280 for that lvl of hand tracking.

Quoting: devnullNext question is shipping from where. I don't know of any distributor with stock yet.
From the USA. They build that stuff in their own factory.
If Valve don't licence their hardware to third party manufacturers from around the world, it will be a complete commercial failure... It seems that nobody learned nothing from the VIDEOCASSETTE war.
Why? Seems to work fine for the Steam Controller.
Maybe if you live in the USA or another country with an strong currency...
But for the rest of the world, specially countries like Argentina, is impossible...
You won't find an Steam controller at retail stores...And if you do, it will be more expensive than an Xbox controller.

Here in Argentina, you will find an Steam controller for about 100 and 150 U$D at digital store Mercadolibre..
meanwhile, an Xbox 360 wireless is about 70USD.

I repeat. If they don't learn from the mistakes of the past, they will do it again...
Don't use Argentina as an example, we have stupidly high prices for everything here. If you want technology, you have to pay for it in most cases double or even triple the USA price. If you are lucky enough it's just 50% more. And having Valve licence their products here, won't change anything. Just try to by an iPad on any of the official retailers we have and let me know ... :S:

Surviving Mars from Haemimont Games & Paradox announced for a GOG release

So, are you guys buying games from GOG even though they never finished the promising GOG Galaxy for Linux? For me it's a blocker, I prefer still buying games on Steam because of the simplicity when installing games. Am I missing something? cause installing manually dependencies may be a pain in the neck. Is it just because of DRM Free? Just asking, not trying to impose my idea to anyone.
