Shotguns and bolt guns are my favorite guns in h3 but since I a quest 2 and not a index they are not easy to use

ay yo secondlife gang, lets go! what was your username?

this is awesome, looking forward to it!

Anton I finally just bought my first VR headset today and the first game I tried out was h3vr. Been following the development since the beginning and wow the game is lit asf. Keep up da good work solider

You gotta add the guns from this game into H3VR

If you haven't already, you should totally reach back out to that professor and show him what he set in motion.

Boneworks ladder….

Loved hearing about your journey and seeing the prototype. Please, please, please add the guns from 2006 into H3!

This is unbelievably cool! I remember hearing about this. Maybe in one of your interviews. This is lost media VR bliss haha.

The fact that the aesthetic reminds me of another VR game named "Jet Island" by the one MasterIndie just makes the VR prototype even cooler to me. Like, holy shit having VR as early as '06 really changes my perspective as a whole. The fact we can see the first concepts of VR shooters is mesmerizing as it is unbelievable. Thank you for being the industry veteran you are, nothing screams passion more than being early to the party.

Whats it callee the game

That early budget VR setup is absolutely fascinating. It's the kind of solution that seems as though all the individual requirements for such an experience were systematically solved, using the cheapest feasible hardware available at every given juncture. I imagine the two professors involved had to pull from all sorts of disparate skillsets.

No wonder h3vr is so feature rich and amazing, youve been doing this for so much longer than i thought

My friend played this level after i did, thats how i figured out you can throw yourself into the corner to get done so much faster.

ANTON IS A WARHAMMER FAN LETS GOOOOO

wow, i understand why your game is complete spaghetti under the hood now... cool... why are all my favorite games a complete mess under the hood?

Just got the game, and am having so much fun! My recommendation: Add the Killer Bean pistols. Ever since I started shooting in VR I wanted to try those things out lol.

This was so awesome to see! @antonhand I'll have to see if I can dig up some of the old SL stuff we did for ESC and other stuff if you ever talk about those days.

0:59 beakies ftw!

I guess I didn't realize I completely ignored all VR stuff in the 00's and even early 2010s, right up til The first Oculus Rift, that era. It just didn't seem like it was "there" yet. So I had no idea actual motion control existed this playably before the Rift CV1 etc came along, let alone in 2006. I tend to ignore new tech until they're at a point they can be actually useful to me, like foldable phones or gaming handhelds which are just now becoming viable for me.

*I was ONE.*

Wonderful! This might be my favorite video I’ve seen from anti, full face smile as I watched all the way through.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

If Anton is a warhammer fan, as evidenced by his his 3D animations, why do we not have an Imperial Bolter? We must enlighten the Xenos!

Suggestion: you should add a gamemode based off this project into H3, as a quick call back and reminder to how it all began.

Seeing how old this all is and how these rooms were only really available to very few people, what do you think are the chances that you made the first ever hand tracked vr shooter of all time?

That teacher deserves a medal to notice your struggle and introducing you to the right people

that is genuinely so damn cool

So you're telling me the only thing it takes to develop a great VR game is 16 years of groundbreaking experience? Golly I thought it would be hard!

Jesus this is some OG Keyboard Cowboy type lore like "ah yes before me there was no GunSim VR game"

Dude, that would be a sick game mode or a way to end take & hold.

This should definitely have a drum magazine

When are you going to reveal H4VR?

2006… 19 years ago. this hurt

What was vr like in 2006? I’d love to hear about that

OH MY GOD YES

Inb4 we have the 2006 demo recreated in h3vr as a new gamemode (or at least the individual guns being recreated in a future update). All jokes aside (although I'd seriously love to somehow play that demo, even if it was a recreation in a future update or even just a mod made by a rather inspired fan), it's crazy how even back in 2006, only a year after the Xbox 360 came out, you were actively making something that was straight up h3vr in the most prototype sense with the most cutting edge and experimental tech of the time. It's like when I saw someone attempt to recreate Jurassic Park Trespasser, that old 1998 game in modern VR, only to realize that game was a straight up modern VR game made in 1998. The devs were so far ahead of time, and it's a shame they didn't have the funding, time or even the basic tech to make that game into what they wanted. I'm glad you were given the opportunity to turn that passion into a fully fledged project.

Wow that was interesting history lesson 😊

Dude those professors are legends for putting that art department setup together, and same for the one that put you onto it. Seriously mind blowing to see the barebone concepts that still exist in today's VR, and it's so cool to think all that time ago the seed for H3 was being planted. I hope they got a chance to see your work or at least are aware of the impact their own work had on the future of VR in gaming specifically.

this is super inspiring as an undergrad CS student :D

Dude, Anton lore is the best. But it got me thinking, what if you for the hell of it, tried making that rail shooter game again but today with how far technology and you have come. Id pay for that.

Shit, I'm as old as H3VR?

100k subs on KZbin A top seller VR game THE BEST VR GUN SIMULATOR A community man We love you Anton and really appreciate your dedication and hard work! I have 600hrs in H3 and counting😀

i honestly forgot that vr has existed since like 1994, with the virtual boy

These guns would be so much fun in H3

Is it possible could you ever want to make a simple recreation of some of these cause I absolutely love the art style of all of these and the gameplay seems it could make for some absolutely awesome vr games with a slightly older styles

Dude you are the Hideo Kojima of VR ingenuity and game development

We need a biography of Anton hidden in h3vr

The first VR game I played was essentially 1v1 DOOM with this massive headset and simple controller (no motion tracked hands) in the middle of a mall in what felt like 1999 or thereabouts. It is amazing to see how far VR has come and how your passion for it has evolved from "I wonder how I can do this" to "I wonder how I can do this, but even cooler". I fell in love with H3VR watching stupid reload videos from Jeditobiwan and knew if I ever bought a headset, it would be the first game I got. Well, I got the headset in 2020 and H3VR remains my most played PC game ever! Thank you, Anton, for all your dedication and hard work!
