Hello guys! I am very excited to work and develop for the oculus. I want to know if any of you have any recommendations on how to start developing a video game and what should it have for it to be a VR game. I also want to do research on it as I want to now more about this. Is there anything that helped you to start developing? did you go through a tutorial to learn how to program VR games? Thank you.

I'd recommend getting into Unity or UE4, they both have VR support build into it. I use UE4 and they have a pretty good youtube channel you can check out: https://www.youtube.com/user/UnrealDevelopmentKit/playlists 

I'd recommend just playing VR games as well and seeing how they deal with locomotion and what interests you 🙂

I am planning on doing a simulation of an environment so the user can walk around and maybe interact with objects, I haven't gotten a lot of experience in videogame dev.

Yea, I agree with Frozen Pea.

unity miught be easier for the beginner. You can download unity, the oculus utility package and then drag the OVR player into hte scene and press play.

From there start adding. As you need something , research on how to do it., Step by step

@SkiiNet If you aren't a savvy programmer, get UE4. Blueprint visual scripting is awesome and you can literally make a game using it without ever touching C++ code (assuming our game's set of features and functionality is within what UE4 offers out of the box).

Thanks guys I have been working on my project and I am using openGL as I want to learn videogame developement, the only thing is that I am having difficulties rendering to the oculus as my program only renders into a window, lol
