Domino VR 0.9.2 brings dominoes into your own room on the Steam Frame, a new prop that fires dominoes across gaps, and a few menu improvements. Your Room (mixed reality, Steam Frame) [*]New on the Sandbox page: Your Room . Build domino runs in your real room with passthrough. It works with the Frame's own cameras, and should work in full colour with an Arcturus Vision camera (I don't have one yet, so this is untested). [*]New Surface tool : touch the tip of the tool to a table and pull the trigger three times (a corner, the next corner, the far edge) to turn it into a surface dominoes can stand on. Your tables are remembered for next time. [*]Point the Surface tool at a marked table to get edit handles: drag the edges to resize it, move it (height too) or turn it. The face button removes it. [*]In your room you walk for real: teleporting, turning and resizing are switched off there. New prop: the cannon [*]A domino toppling onto the plate on its back fires a ball that knocks over a row somewhere else, so a chain can jump a gap. [*]While holding it, the stick tilts the barrel and a dotted arc shows where the ball lands. The trigger fires a test shot. Menus [*]The props menu shows a picture of each prop above its name. [*]The sandbox props menu now includes the crane (it was missing). [*]Menus now say "Steam Workshop" in full, so it is not confused with the Workshop world. Thanks for playing and for all the feedback. Keep it coming in the discussions!

Fixed: with SteamVR (Valve Index and other PC headsets), the game could start in mouse-and-keyboard mode while the headset was also running. The game now waits for SteamVR and starts in VR properly. Changed: the wrist menu now sits a bit further from your hand, so it no longer clips through the tool. Thanks to everyone playtesting and sending feedback! I'm also looking at making menu text easier to read, especially on the main menu. More on that soon.
Small, but fun update! I've added steam achievements to the game. More will probably be added over time.
In this update I've added some new useful things as well as a new map to test objective mode on. Changelog: Added ball rolling contraption to objects table Added more "floating cube" type objects in various sizes to objects table Added changelog to the main menu. You should be able to see this in there right now :) Made main menu easier to use. No more turning around all the time, the menu will rotate for you Added testing objective map! This one was used just for development, but now you can try it and let me know what you think about the mechanics used
This is a small update. Next update will follow soon. Changelog: Re-added the HMD. You can now see your HMD on the spectator cameras again Added table with camera stuff to the "forest island" map, I'm working on a way to spawn other items UI pointer no longer collides with anything but UI UI controller tooltips and left menu no longer collides with anything Teleporting with certain objects now works without shooting them into the distance (still needs improvements) Objects indicate whether you can grab them again (change color) You can no longer teleport onto objects
This update was quite a bit of work, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Game performance should be way better. A new map was also added and some extra fun stuff. Be sure to provide feedback! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25857992/804c3744025ff35baaf14ef7f4c6dec84be242ae.jpg Changelog: Updated to Unity 5.4 for performance reasons - Started from scratch again, this took me hours Now using Valve's "The Lab renderer" for Adaptive quality and a bunch of extra performance! Had to remove the light you can drag around because of the new renderer (it's worth it!) Game no longer shows your HMD on the cameras. This will be re-added soon When scaling the world, menu & color picker distance now stays correct When scaling the world, your "ghost" domino on the right controller will now be the correct size Changed Main Menu domino sizes and spawn amounts Changed Main Menu mechanics Added new map! (forest island) - WIP, more maps will come Objects now get deleted properly when they go out of bounds Better game pause method. Objects will pause, but you can still interact with them while the main menu is open if you want or teleport Fixed a few bugs that could crash the game Added a way to go back to the main menu from the ingame menu WIP - Objective mode. Something for the next update... :) Added Timescale slider to ingame menu - Slooowwwmoooo fun! Added background to ingame menu for better readability Updated VRTK to the newest version (allows better grab features, pointers, etc.) Changed menu on left controller to use haptic feedback and 3 buttons - Big thanks to Kenney for the nice low poly models!
The first bigger update for Domino VR is now live. I have also created a new subreddit for the game hoping to get more feedback over there. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/DominoVR/ Please do provide feedback! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25857992/14822e33c576c03e3cd117d28b6cc9223cc919e1.png Changelog: Increased world size Moved tools and items to two new big tables, they respawn when you take one Added new animatable camera with key points (experimental feature) Added a small area with some random cubes and a few preset dominos to test save/load. This is a WIP Better grab mechanics for placer car Created subreddit for the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/DominoVR/
Update 0.0.5 is now live. Most important change is the new teleport method and the new destroy tool. I've also managed to fix a few bugs. Changelog: Added new teleporting method Left controller can no longer use menus. Grip on the left controller triggers teleport Added destroy tool on left controller menu to remove dominos Added small beam on left controller when aiming at close objects to help you aim when welding and destroying things Fixed bug with bridge shadow Fixed spectator camera UI colliding with game objects Fixed UI colliding with game objects
Update 0.0.4 is now live. You should be able to have lots of fun with this one :) Changelog: Added experimental weld tool (use it by aiming at object A, then use the weld option, then aim at object B and use the weld option again) Added possible new domino model to the game. Let me know what you think about this. Added some bounce to the balls Added options to scale the world and to ajust the floor height (I suggest not using scale at this time, it is very buggy) Added reset buttons for all sliders in the game menu
Domino VR update 0.0.3 has arrived! You can now choose the color a domino will be when you spawn it! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/25857992/d00141f1ce5f1f6b82e0ad4f759020895a229c56.png Changelog: - Added menu on left controller touchpad - Added color picker - Changed screenshot folder, screenshots are now stored in My Pictures/DominoVR - The "display" for the camera can now be seen on both sides - Spectator camera now draws a HMD so spectators are able to see what the player is looking at - Moved a few items in the world around a little
So, I asked for you to provide me with some nice screenshots... If only you had the tools to do that! Well, now you do. You'll find a camera you can drag around the world, and use to show to spectators what you're doing. It also allows you to take screenshots (through that camera) in 1080p or 4K. You can find screenshots in this folder: STEAM_FOLDER\steamapps\common\DominoVR\DominoVR_Data\screenshots Be sure to send me some in the discussions!
