I Made a VR Game with PowerPoint

Wow, this end result is actually really cool! Those were some really creative uses of those tools, never thought about how you could use video for more immersive effects!

Brilliant! Years ago I made a Family Feud game manager in PPT. The cool thing was using VBA to read the game definition file for the match, which made it easy to configure and use over and over again without modifying any slides. Soooooo ... you could add in a VBA initialization routine to access different background videos, songs, and logo spawning sequences and you'd have a tidy little reusable engine :)

[@emeralgamedev]

Wow, that's awesome! I should take all best feedback and make a follow up. Thanks for watching, Stuart!

I love how crazy your ideas are, and how you end up making them working

[@KeystormTV]

Yeah, I always made Point and Click Escape Rooms and even did a Five Nights at Freddy´s in PowerPoint, which was actually very good. There were hidden timers, that changed "buttons" without the player noticing, so it was some sort of random. Like when you click on something "in game", every second something different happened. And lots friends loved it! XD

This is amazing!!! It actually looks really good!!!! Well done, Sir. I doff my cap to thee.

Have you heard of Storyline 360? It's like a glorified version of PowerPoint, and we genuinely make some of our games in it where I work. It's horrible. We've managed to make entire point-and-click adventure games in it. It's built for quizzes. Why do we use it. Also i still cant get over the quality of your videos, you are SMASHING it

[@emeralgamedev]

I haven't heard of it but it sounds cool! Maybe I'll try it for an upcoming vid. And I'm glad you enjoy the silly content!

8:35 on your oculus quest, that a option called "oculus link" that can you let access your pc (whit cable or not) and this is FREE. Great video btw !

Thanks, Terrafin! Sometimes the best solution is right under your nose!

Wow! The game at 2:34 looks really cool! I just got done playing it and it's so good! Thank you for showing me it. I highly recommend everyone plays it.

[@owenleynes7086]

this is such an excellent sequel to that random video i watched years ago about programming in powerpoint which was mostly a joke but also quite fleshed out, glad to see theres a whole community about it now

[@Galafador]

the name pointsaber fits because you're basically pointing at notes and not slashing them 🤣 good work~!

[@tylerperkins6862]

I like the way you describe things- random comment but I found myself being able to comprehend what you were saying very easily! Very entertaining video

[@Joel_woodwork]

This is absolutely awesome, but if you added a rectangle so that people who are playing know when to hit you could maybe have the inside of the rectangle a neon green color and the outside's orange or red love to hear what you think about this

[@GamerReality]

Nice storytelling through the research section. You didn’t even work on your own project for 5 minutes of the video but you kept audiences interested.

[@tiagotiagot]

Should've used a sequential trigger, like splitting the blocks into two (or even 4 or 8) triggers, to detect swiping motion and direction, and ensure only cutting blocks in the correct direction counts.

[@will.m0u]

This is insane! I can barely make this is any other game engine, let alone powerpoint! I can't believe you aren't at 50k yet, you make content like a youtuber with millions of subs. Well done!

did you know that you are able to import 3d objects into powerpoint and animate them like any other object with animations. Powerpoint has a bunch of free assets that you can use

Lol! Dude, every time I saw the guy who kept showing up with the afro, white shirt, black tie, black pants (like at 1:11), for the entire first 7 minutes or so of this video, I legitimately thought it was just some random guy from a stock video website. 🤣 It wasn't until about 7:36 when you crouched behind the projector that I realized it was just you, the content creator, filming himself. 😆 Idk if that was intentional or not, but it blew my mind.

[@xeostube]

This is totally fantastic "hack" - but arguably a lot more work than using a real game engine because of the painstaking placement and animation of each target by hand. Any decent 2d engine would allow the same basic method of using pre-rendered backgrounds to make it look pretty but would allow automating of the moving targets so that you could write the whole thing in an afternoon. Or multiple days if you are learning the tool for the first time (but then you have new skills to use for your next game, so... that's still a win). Nonetheless it's really cool to see how far you pushed powerpoint.
