Hello!
So basically, I have started to make an own game similar to Echo VR. But I have a bit of backstory first.
I downloaded and played echo vr for the first time this year. It seemed like a very fun game. I played a few games, and got the hang of it. Everything was nice until my little brother told me that echo is shutting down in August this year (in just three days when I am writing this).
Of course that was a sad thing to hear. It is a very fun game. I continued to play now and then, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to continue for so long.
Now, I happen to be a dude interested in programming. I don't need to go into too much detail, but I have recently programmed a bit in the game engine godot. So I thought, why not take inspiration from echo vr and make my own game in godot? And so, I started developing it. Now, I am a single person (with the help of my brothers though), so I obviously won't be able to make a super fancy game. But, my goal is to make a fully playable game similar to echo vr.
I have come quite a bit on the way, but I am struggling a bit with the multiplayer connections. But when I feel that the game is ready, the thought is to maybe release the game to sidequest or something.
If you think this sounds interesting, keep an eye on this conversation, I will update it as I progress with my game.
I hope someone except me thinks this is a fun idea! 😛

I have come quite a bit longer on the project. Multiplayer features are starting to work correctly, which always are hard to get to work well. I think I might have a completely playable game pretty soon (although, the graphics are debatable).
The thing I am concerned about is the server, which obviously is needed to be able to play multiplayer. I will have to think about that.
By the way, good news: I will be able to release the game to App Lab! That means you won't even have to sideload the app.
That was all this time. Please check in here sometimes if you are interested, a release may not be that far away!

Sounds like an amazing idea

Hello!
I thought this post was dead lol. But now that you ask, I am going to explain a bit what happened with the project.
So basically I kind of gave up. This was harder than I originally thought. I have however continued programming every now and then (you made me open up the project today ☺️). We will see if I ever release a playable game. It is definitely not impossible, but I have other priorities in life as well.
So to summarize: hopefully I release the game some day, but I cannot promise anything. Let me know if there is interest for this!

i mean i would have tried it but now that a2 and hex are almost done it might not be worth it if anything id say to try to jump in on their teams and try to get hired if I were u but if you think you can make a good game then why not do it there will always be some ppl who would play it sht look at what gorilla tag has become and now they are making a2 the new echo well kinda not really the same but something like it I guess

Hi Dreyermax, my name is CadeXR, I am the project lead for a game called Hex VR and manager at Golden Gear Studios, a volunteer indie team. we are working on a game that takes inspiration from Echo VRs movement system and trying to build something new with it called Hex VR. we have been in development for over a year (with a lot of that work being backend) in Unity. I would love to chat with you if you were still interested in working on a zero-gravity based project!

Hi CadeXR! Thanks so much for reaching out to me 🙂
I have sent you a friend request on discord. My name on discord is Masemiliano (and my profile picture is a light blue minecraft face). We can perhaps further communicate there?
