First day of work on my Ludum Dare compo entry is done! It's not a game yet, but it's running and building just fine. Editing and working entirely in VR for hours like this is a fascinating experience.

No trouble with motion sickness (although in low light the windows can shift slightly as the tracking gets less accurate, which isn’t the most pleasant). Thanks to a remote desktop viewer (my desktop is running Linux, so I’m using AnyDesk) I’m able to use desktop tools like Blender and GIMP and work for hours without taking off the headset. This wouldn’t be possible without the Bobo M3 headstrap, which 1) takes the weight off the front of my face making it comfortable for that length of time and 2) allows you to swap out magnetically attached batteries on the fly. This is my first project doing this and it’s for this week’s 48-hour Ludum Dare game jam, so I’m mostly taking the headset off for food breaks and that’s it; which also gives the depleted batteries time to charge.
