No controllers, no problem! - FPS controller with trigger gesture and alt gesture for reloading. Moving, strafing, jumping. #engine #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #locomotion #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels

Been busy! Implemented multiplayer with custom VoIP, collision, environment graphics and stabilised throwing and grabbing, preventing unintentional grabs & drops. #engine #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #locomotion #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels

I'm taking part in the Meta Horizon Start Social Accelerator program. The kickoff was yesterday, and the goal is making and releasing a social game in 4 weeks! Check out the discord I've just spun up for it and help test: discord.gg/tNPf6uEcb

As if making a proprietary engine wasn’t enough, I’m building my own compiled scripting language with a VM for modding. Still a ways to go, but it can already handle simple sequences like cutscenes and tutorials! :)

For those of you with motion sickness, I implemented a teleport, again, hands free. No controllers or gestures needed, just leaning with your head. #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #locomotion #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #collision

@owlchemylabs.com Just saw an article on how you want to pioneer hand-tracking in VR - Did you see my last few videos? I'm open to work :D

Next up in my quest for hands-free locomotion - Jumping! I use the same system as normal locomotion except measure velocity of head movement. Over a threshold, trigger a jump. #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #locomotion #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #collision

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

Player collision! Adding pieces of the engine bit by bit, including my own physics. Now with locomotion, I needed collision. Calculated directly against the voxel octree. #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #locomotion #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #collision

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Time to start my next game. The first focused on setting up engine architecture, now focusing on locomotion in hand-tracked games. Movement without hand input of any kind (Seated mode)! #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #locomotion #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels

Not everyone can be a master sorcerer like me, for those people I added this handy reference. Final orientation will be tweaked later. #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation

I decided to enter my game into Horizon Start. For existing games they required you add a major feature specific to the competition, so here it is, multiplayer! #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation #multiplayer

Progressing on the menu nicely, actually starting to feel like a real game! Still things to do: Hiding the level loading seen briefly, giving the character some clothes, etc. #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation

Getting close to the end, as such working on smaller bits and less to post, but here is my WIP main menu. Apologies for the messy hotel room, I'm at Snap Lensfest / Lensathon! :) #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation

Got held up by a bug in the animation system, but now I've started implementing the model & animations into the game. Still need to do some syncing tweaks, but getting there! #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation

Got sidetracked with some programming past few days, but got round to finishing off the attack animation! #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation

This one is still WIP - His main attack, picking up a giant boulder and lobbing it at you. So far just done the main key frames, need to add feelings of weight later. #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation

Here's a death animation! I really struggle with perfectionism, trying hard to embrace the idea of "Perfect is the enemy of done". #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation

Back from holiday, made more animations! Just need to make his shield now and add sound effects and I'm done with him! #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation

Almost done with the walk, just need to do some upper body work.. or maybe I'll leave it like this? Not sure yet. #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art #animation

0166

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Well, I think this is good enough for now, maybe I'll do another pass later. For now though, time to start on animation! #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #indiegame #voxelArt #voxels #art

Created a demo video for my next project's hand-free locomotion technique! Move in VR - no need to use hands, free them to cast spells, pick items up, emote, etc. Decouples look / move direction #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt youtu.be/XFSsGCsES9s

Slimes don't do well with ice! Added a 'frozen' frame, and related sound effects. Also sound effects for jumping/landing. Want to add a frozen shatter particle effect, but will come back to that later :) #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

Still need to do an extra transition frame and a few other bits and bobs, but looking good! #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

The slime is only vulnerable when its jumping forward, as soon as it lands it becomes a puddle without a hit box. Just finished that frame, and just need one more transition frame to the jumping animation :) #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

Someone's looking sufficiently angry! Not finished yet, but a good test of the more sprite-like style of animating! :) #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Started on the next enemy, a classic! This one will be a bit of a pain to animate, as I'll have to animate it by modelling individual voxel model frames, but oh well! #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt

Roughing out some proportions.. Still needs hands

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

Started concepting the boss, with and without a mask. With mask looks a bit more menacing, but not sure if it reads well.. #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt

0136

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

First enemy has a model and full suite of animations, all of which are good enough for now, time to move on. Think I might tackle the boss next, as menacing as a basic cube is, I think I can do better.

Snorflork @snorflork.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

Added an attack animation, then had to also implement animation events so I could trigger the damage at the right time. Then since I had events, added temporary foot step sounds. Also added a knife :) #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt #animation

Animation still needs work (crossfades!) but gradually getting there. Idle & Hit only have 1 frame of animation just to test, but the Walk animation actually has some. Looks better than expected! #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt #animation

Making animations in my engine with my tool. Would it be faster in an existing tool? Yes. Would it be easier? Also yes. But this is my engine/tool and it has to start somewhere. #openXR #vr #virtualreality #handtracking #gamedev #indiedev #xr #vrDev #voxelArt #animation

What are peoples opinion on voice components to spells, either in addition to runes drawing, instead, or making dedicated vocal spells? I tested vocal spells and its fast and responsive.
