Show HN: Quake VR – Quake (1996) as a first-class PCVR experience https://bit.ly/3B92FPB

Show HN: Quake VR – Quake (1996) as a first-class PCVR experience Hello HN! I am proud to show you Quake VR, a "labor of love" one-man project that I started back in 2020 with the goal of turning Quake -- the timeless classic from 1996 -- into a first-class PCVR experience. --- > What do you mean by "first-class"? There are many mods out there that enable older games to be played in VR, however, not much thought is put into VR-unique mechanics or in making the experience feel seamless. While I do enjoy reliving nostalgic classics in VR (and thank the modders for their efforts), it does feel weird having to use a keyboard+mouse setup for a VR game, or -- even with motion controls -- not being able to physically interact with the game's world, or having a gun glued to one of my hands. With Quake VR, I tried my best to make the game feel like an experienced designed from the ground up for VR. A video is worth a thousand words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBoI16z8Nxg --- As you can see from the video above, Quake VR provides a plethora of VR-specific features, including: - Virtual in-game hands with finger tracking - Dual-wield weapons or hold a weapon with two hands - Physical melee combat, including throwing weapons and headbutts - Weapon models with ironsights - Collisions between the player's hands and the environment - Holster system with virtual torso For a complete list of features, check out the README: https://bit.ly/3xdOWpg I love VR-unique interactions, and I try to find opportunities to add more. As an example, I recently added "flick reloading" to the SSG -- see it in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV8gbDvNYAM . Here is an older trailer showcasing features like dual-wielding, holsters, and the grappling hook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_ctxSqs6gA --- Quake VR is written in modern C++ and it's completely free and open-source : https://bit.ly/3Dikm1W . If you have any question about the game or any implementation detail, feel free to ask here on or the official Discord server ( https://bit.ly/3L61bdh ). --- If you have a PCVR headset, I sincerely hope you will check out the game and let me know what you think! The game is available on a "pay what you wish" model here: https://bit.ly/3Lc6B6Q - Make sure you closely follow the installation guide ( https://bit.ly/3Dx7vcn )! Cheers, Vittorio --- FAQ: > Is this project related to the Quake ports available for the Meta Quest? * No, this project is separate from those. It uses a different engine and it was developed by me, Vittorio Romeo, with some very appreciated contributions by community members (https://bit.ly/3xgCeGp). > Why is Quake VR not available on Steam? * I've tried really, *really* hard to release it on Steam as a free community mod. However, that requires permission from the owners of the Quake IP. I have spent countless hours trying to communicate with id Software, Bethesda, Microsoft, never receiving *any* sort of response. I've even tried directly contacting employees, who kindly forwarded my request to the legal team, to no avail: zero answers whatsoever. I have not given up -- if you know someone that can help, please let me know! > Is Quake VR compatible with existing Quake mods or existing Quake servers? * No, Quake VR uses a custom protocol and engine in order to deliver first-class VR features. It is possible to adapt mods to work with Quake VR -- I have done that for the official expansions and some popular mods. > How can I support the Quake VR project? * Quake VR is FOSS, however I am more than happy to accept donations for my efforts. PayPal (https://bit.ly/3L30G3M) works best for me, alternatively consider purchasing "Open Hexagon" (https://bit.ly/3BaSES5), my first commercial game on Steam. https://bit.ly/3xeaVga September 11, 2022 at 05:27AM

Show HN: Invest in Airbnbs Like Stocks https://bit.ly/3eF3tUL

Show HN: Invest in Airbnbs Like Stocks Hey HN - I’m Ryan, the co-founder of Arrived. We made it possible to buy shares of vacation rentals, starting from $100. Investors earn the booking income & property appreciation from being an owner, without all of the work typically involved. Airbnb’s can be a killer business. They have helped vacation rental owners generate over $150 Billion in rental income from serving a billion guest arrivals, but less than 0.5% of these guests have been able to participate in the owner side of the Airbnb economy. Arrived is the first company with SEC Qualified offerings to buy shares in individual properties like this. We launched rental home investing last year and have funded $55m in rental homes across the country so far. And we are excited to launch vacation rental investing on our platform this week. Would love any feedback on our vacation rental launch. https://bit.ly/3L01rdU September 9, 2022 at 04:28PM
