Where are all the smaller games and experiences we've had for the developer kits? I am speaking about the different rollercoaster rides, tech demos, experiences like Airborne 1944, Don't Let Go, From Ashes, SightLine, Giants of Space, etc.
In general all the stuff you could download on Oculus Share, Wearvr etc. Looking at the Oculus Store, all I can see are mostly full titles, which makes me kinda sad, since those short experiences often had a huge impact on me and where ideal to show to your family/friends. 😕
What is the reason for those experiences not getting updated on the newest sdk? Is Oculus holding back the developers? Is there a problem with the sdk? Or do most of the developers still wait for their rifts themself? (which is very likely, I believe)
What do you think, why all the "smaller games" are gone? Is there any official reason? Cyber? 🙂
^ I have to imagine most people in that boat are using 1.3 with DK2s to be able to use the current software.
As for why old stuff hasn't been updated, I'd guess in most cases it's just low priority for someone to update and rerelease some weird little thing they made a year or two ago. A few of them that had sources available have been recompiled anyway, though; check this at Reddit for more. The Tuscany demo ("Oculus world") is among them.
It would be a shame if those experiences wouldn't get updated. They often are the first contact people have with vr and are a good way to "acclimatize" to vr. They also keep up the variety of content
problem is.. even if the devs update to 1.3, share itself is not supported by oculus any more. So there needs to be a new host for these? There are a few "share" related threads about this:
