The issue with Grapple Tournament, while it's well made, is that it's extremely small scale (3 v 3 only), so it loses some of the chaotic charm that Unreal Tournament had.

Its 6 player lobbies for a reason. Same reason our game is too. There are other modes tho, so its not teams. Got your FFA and what not. Can't keep more than that filled in VR right now. Unless you somehow have a massive uptick on initial release and keep the momentum going, you end up with dead lobbies. Theres a handful of games that suffered this fate. And its a drop in and out casual arena shooter. Sucks trying to "fill" a 8-10 player lobby to have some shooty bangs with friends. Plus its already really hard to get people into movement shooters in VR. Normal people. General consumer people.

Commodore_64 posted:I'd mow down 30 bots or whatever with my vr buds. Yeah i'd be down for massive chaos lobbies too but theres a lot of factors that go into it. Like, our game for example, its a limitation of how our lobbies were initially designed. We can "just" get 1 extra slot connected for a spectator client then all bets are off. And if GT did similar with server stuff, its probably a similar limitation. Then that whole, keeping bigger lobbies filled is really tough. Stand out is a great example of a game that did really well with numbers until the "next thing" came out. Regularly had 30ish real players in a match for quite a while. Then bam poof zap, 2-5 max. Then its all bots. Which isn't fun. Then it all adds to budget. Ugh. I don't disagree, it'd be dope to have more slots, but I get why its not.

FWIW I think a big part of why the Gorilla Tag lobbies work so well is the game is so easily drop in/drop out, you never need to wait any time at all to find a match (unless you're trying to join a fully empty map/gamemode or are on the population threshold where there's not enough for another room). If you join a game in progress, you're just on the tagged team and can immediately start chasing people. I know that's not a common thing to be able to design for in a lot of games, but man does it help to be able to grab any new people who just launched the game and make sure there's something for anyone who's searching to find and join. Needing to wait for discrete thresholds of people to start a match really makes it difficult for things to take off enough to be self-sustaining.

All MP games need to lean into being able to drop into an ongoing match. Ya, ok it sucks not "Winning" but like, if the games fun the lobby would keep going. I really hope we can get there with it.

It's incredible watching their marketing spin bullshit about how great it will be on their platform with shopping and socialising, etc, and all you really need to do to pop that bubble is point out VKET events and DJ nights in VRChat. Because those are literally what they're talking about.

Get those three things and I'd say you got a metaverse there.

I still can’t form an opinion on whether VRChat is “good” or not, but it’s certainly unique and I’m happy it exists. Anybody unload a Quest 1 recently? If I pick up a Pro tomorrow I might as well sell mine and keep the 2 around for backup but the idea of loving around on eBay to make 50 bucks sounds like a tremendous waste of my time.

I feel like I play VR Chat wrong, because I never talk to anyone. I just like seeing what new space someone has modeled, like the entire BotW Great Plateau from last year. I pop in every few months, ogle, and leave. Edit: Does anyone have experience with cracked rings on the Quest (1) controllers? I dropped my left one, and the outer part has cracked through in one place, and is starting to separate from the inner ring. It still completely works fine, although I'm gonna tape it so it doesn't continue to break. Doctor Epitaph fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Oct 11, 2022 |

My one set of index controllers is held together with the poo poo. I mean you could use anything but that stuff works really well for "patchwork plastic". https://amzn.to/3fRyzsN

My only experience with VR Chat is logging into that Jet Set Radio world and having a ton of fun for a couple of days and then promptly uninstalling because I'm not masochistic enough to expose myself to its general populace.
