Taking a break from working on my tutorial, had a bit of fun tonight with the stream. We started a new project building a simple space sim. After going down a few rabbit holes and finding out how not to interact with rigidbodies we ended up with a nicely working setup. It's very early days but a good start.
I think I'll keep doing this as a regular weekly feature for awhile. This type of game in VR uses very little VR specific things, really just the head tracking is VR specific. It's also the type of game you can switch easily between VR and a desktop game (though I personally think that once you play this type of game in VR, you never want to go back). So it's not good VR tutorial material, but it is very interested in a more general game dev sense.
Anyway, the two assets used in the game are both paid assets and you can find them here:
cgtrader.com/3d-models/space/spaceship/space-carrier
cgtrader.com/3d-models/space/spaceship/space-fighter-cockpit-interceptor-mk-3
I didn't do them justice because I only spend and hour setting them up in the game engine.
