@IonizedGames I’d love to know how you got this working, looks great!

[Leon van Oord @Lnvnord]

@skx_doom That would be amazing and I'm wondering if othercrow's suggestion might already help. You'll definitely have a sale from me once it does have VR support 🔥

[Leon van Oord @Lnvnord]

It feels surreal but seeing our game on @PlayStation is a dream come true. Thank you to @arendkoopmans and @Jetsekoopmans. Together we made it a reality 🥳

Kayak VR: Mirage has officially launched on #PSVR2! We've popped a bottle to celebrate and want to thank you all for your support. Getting it ready for the launch was a real journey for us and we couldn't be more happy and proud. We hope you have a blast with the game! ❤️

[Leon van Oord @Lnvnord]

@DennyCloudhead Hard agree, the Index nailed comfort. All they have to do is refresh the hardware and it'd still be king.

@SafikhaniSaeed Would love to try this out but it's a bummer it only works with Oculus devices for now. I got the same error when trying to compile 5.2 and running my own project. Any idea why UE5.2 OpenXR is not working with Index etc?

[Leon van Oord @Lnvnord]

@iBrews I ran into instant crashes with OpenXR / SteamVR as well when trying to preview in editor with custom UE5.1. Could you share your workaround? And does this version have Nanite / Lumen for SteamVR? Would love to know how taxing Nanite is compared to Lumen.

@DMeville Shows up like this for me if you wanted to see where it should show up 😅

Revealing our fourth environment for Kayak VR: Mirage, a tropical one inspired by Costa Rica featuring sandy beaches, cliffs, alcoves and a jungle. #VR

[Leon van Oord @Lnvnord]

@DMeville I think the sky might not quite be bright enough during the day, could probably do with a bit of a stronger gradient too, looks stunning apart from that :)

You've officially been pimped! Add some funkiness to your kayak and beat your friends in our Steam Racing Fest demo

[Leon van Oord @Lnvnord]

@DMeville Planning on exporting these to VATs or do you have something else in mind?

[Leon van Oord @Lnvnord]

Really happy with how this turned out!

Facing extreme weather conditions in Kayak VR!

[Leon van Oord @Lnvnord]

@DMeville Bummer but that's a great start, I'll shoot you a screenshot if it ends up looking acceptable for me😅

[Leon van Oord @Lnvnord]

@DMeville Thanks for the resource, I'll dig in tomorrow :)
