Quoting: tarmo888Sounds a lot like a Steam Deck VR, a Steam Deck variant that supports VR games and comes packaged with VR headset. Expect $2k price tag.

I see zero reason why Valve would develop a new VR headset and a new handheld but only sell them bundled instead of each on its own. They have already proven they're smart when it comes to reaching people in lower price tiers (which bundling prevents) and they already sold these things standalone.

They might offer both together optionally at a discount, that'd be sweet

Quoting: redneckdrowHey, it's made with love2d [External Link]! I'm a'gonna see if I can get it to run natively.

Edit: Yup running

 
love moonring.exe

seems to Just Work™:woot::woot::woot::woot::woot:!

Time to nag the dev to support linux officially, then!
The work is done, just need to be made official, LOL!

Quoting: whizse

Quoting: MarlockThanks!
I've tried finding out how good or bad linux support is for that chip but found nothing...

...so I'm probably being as blind in that task as I was finding out which chip it is, LOL

Unless I'm reading this wrong, that chip in turn uses the Qualcomm QCA206x Wi-Fi 6E chip [External Link].

Annoyingly I can't find anything about Linux support for that one either...

almost exactly where I stopped...

I did find some mentions about commits to the linux kernel regarding the QCA2066 but they were all about bluetooth not wifi.

Quoting: Cybolic

Quoting: MarlockAny mention of what brand of wifi module and if they learned their lesson on choosing modules for linux?[...]

It's right on the title of the first picture: Quectel FC66E-B [External Link].

Thanks!

If they dare say realtek again instead of a brand+model that has know good linux support, i say "sargent mustard with a candelabra in the master bedroom"

Quoting: Guestany competitive game requires a player to outspeed an opponent, what did you expect from a first person shooter?

mandatory pedantic reply: chess
sorry, i just couldn't resist :whistle:

analog world jokes aside I did play "Sid Meyer's Civilization 2" and "Stars!", which both were turn-based and supported competitive multiplayer... Stars! even supported play-by-email, which is absurdly cumbersome compared to modern multiplayer gaming options, but was pretty cool in the era of 56kbps dialup internet

I also rather play slower paced games, mainly because my reflexes are horribly slow for anything else :grin:

And despite the rise in prominence of competitive online multiplayer realtime games like shooters, battle royales and whatnot there are popular modern takes for slower gameplay too (eg: League of Legends's non-rts offspring TFT)

Quoting: PhlebiacHopefully these devs (and others) make an effort towards native Linux versions as part of their switch to Godot.

AFAIK it's much easier to make a linux version of a game with Godot than with Unity3D.

At the very least there will be less linux-specific bugs in the native linux versions of games that opt for it. Unity was notoriously terrible in this regard and while the situation improved over the years it never got solved entirely.

IIRC Godot made also made it pretty easy to pack up android versions of games for testing and final deployment (I read an article once a couple years ago about how it works and why it was unusually easy), so mobile game devs might enjoy jumping ship more than they expected.

It's likely Godot will absorb a huge chunk of the devs fleeing Unity3D, but I'm confident at least some devs in niches better covered by other engines and tools will find their way to those other tools now or later.

Remaking a game is a huge task. I expect most serious devs will spend some time making their due diligence to ensure the new branch they jump to isn't as frail as the one they are jumping out off.

Our engineers will also contribute to the development of the engine, as we pursue our next and future projects in Godot.

This is how key FOSS projects pick up speed, catch up with paid alternatives that have been well established market leaders and sometimes end up surpassing them.

Many thanks to Unity3D leadership for the huge help pitching Godot for everyone.

A shame it had to happen in such a painful way for so many game devs...

any word from them now that Unity is imploding?
