Weekly Report #9 - Concept for furnace with great VR mechanics!

Hey everyone,

the last weekly report was released slightly more than a week ago™ again (or a bit more than slightly more...), so it's time for another one! Yay!

Todays big topic is the furnace that will be added to the game soon™, but let's first mention a few other things!

The cyubeVR discord is still nicely growing, we're at over 600 people there now. That's great! If you aren't in there yet, come join us and chat about the game or general VR topics.

Recently, a great fan-made cyubeVR trailer came out, made by HeyMika, and it's really awesome! If you haven't seen it yet, definitely take a look at it here, and show it to all your friends who are interested in VR :) One might say this trailer is better than the official cyubeVR trailer, especially since the official trailer is a bit outdated by now (I will need to make a new one at some point!). Here's the great cyubeVR trailer from HeyMika:

New custom mod blocks in the cyubeVR Steam Workshop


Ever since Update 32, everyone can share custom mod blocks through Steam Workshop, and recently there have been a few nice additions! If you also want to create some blocks like that and share them with others, take a look at the tutorial how to create them here, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask in the #modding channel in the discord :)

Here's two different brick blocks made by Buchman:

Concept for furnace


The main thing I want to talk about today is the furnace - currently, there's nothing with the functionality of a furnace in the game yet, and that will have to change!

The furnace will be used for processing ore and other materials, but most importantly, it will be used for producing iron that then can be used for making stronger tools and also weapons like swords. You know, the copper sledgehammer is already a really strong tool, but wait until you see the iron sledgehammer!

What makes cyubeVR so special is the great VR mechanics it has for everything, and with the furnace, that should apply just as much as before, or even more. The furnace should be a prime example for what you can do with awesome roomscale VR mechanics in a game like this.

Let's take a look at a concept of the furnace that I've worked on with a concept artist!



What do you think? I think that looks like an awesome furnace! The furnace is built fully out of stone and copper. You will be able to freely place the furnace anywhere in the world where there's enough free place for it to be placed - it won't snap to the voxel grid, just like chest or chairs.

It has two openings, one opening at the bottom for putting in burning materials like coal or wood, and one opening at the top for putting in the material that should be processed and melted. You would put in the items physically with your hands - same like you craft or fill up a chest in the game, but there wouldn't be any slots in the furnace, you just need to throw in enough items. You also have to open and close the shutters of the two openings with your hands.

Once you put in enough burning material, you can set it on fire. How? There needs to be a great VR way of starting a fire. Maybe hitting a stone block with a copper nugget makes a spark? After you started the fire, you have to wait until it's hot enough, and the items at the top will start to melt.

At the side, there is a lever that you can open to let the molten metal (or other materials) flow out into a mold container, where the molten metal can cool off, until you can collect the resulting iron bars into your inventory. Also, it would actually be possible to switch out that mold container to a different mold container, e.g. for producing glass windows from molten glass instead of iron bars from molten iron.

With this design, there also can be some interesting skill element added to the melting process - what if you open the lever too early or too late? Some materials might have to be cast at the exact right temperature to have the best physical properties, so maybe you have to make sure that you melt some special magic ore at the exact same temperature and don't let it become too hot, otherwise it would not successfully be converted into the resulting material you want and you would have to re-melt it again, or even throw it away? Nothing set in stone regarding that mechanic yet, just a thought about what's all possible with this furnace design. You have full control over when you open the lever, and you also have full control over how much burning material you put into the fire chamber, so it likely makes sense to capitalize on that with some gameplay mechanics :)

It's something I'm not fully sure about yet, so if you have good ideas, please write a comment here or come into the discord! The furnace has been discussed about a lot there already, but the more people voice their ideas, the better!

So, that's all for this weekly report. Thanks for caring about the game! Let me know what you think about this new furnace concept!

Don't forget to follow and subscribe to the official Stonebrick Studios account on Twitter and YouTube so that you don't miss anything interesting about the game! There's also a community-diven subreddit about cyubeVR on reddit!

Cheers! :)

Update 34 is live! Steam Achievements!



Hey everyone, Update 34 for cyubeVR is live!

You can now unlock 50 Steam Achievements in the game!

There's also more features and bugfixes, so let's take a look at the whole list and then get into more detail for the achievements!
  • Added 50 Steam Achievements
  • Added stats for Total Blocks Mined, Total Blocks Crafted and Total Blocks Placed in the settings UI of the game
  • Fixed crystal duplication bug when trying to attach crystal to bucket
  • Fixed being able to grab crystal from bucket when bucket isn't visible
  • Fixed it being possible to move chests/chairs while inventory is opened
  • Fixed teleport to previous teleport location triggering when pressing teleport button while briefcase is opened
  • When placing a block, there no longer is a small time period afterwards where placing a new block is not possible due to the chunk rebuild, so placing blocks quickly is faster now.
  • Default locomotion setting is now "With falling" instead of "off". It's likely the better default as people seem to expect falling to be enabled by default in a game like this.
  • Fixed rendering artifacts (flickering) that sometimes appeared on the downside of blocks


Steam Achievements


There's now 50 great achievements unlockable in the game!

You can take a look at the full list of achievements here: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/619500/achievements

Achievements are a great way to show you what you can actually do in the game. For example, previously it was unlikely that someone who doesn't follow the game update announcements here or has watched specific videos of the game knows that you can re-color existing torches in the game. Now that there's an achievement that you get for re-coloring torches, it's clear that this is something you can actually do, so it's a very nice way of showing what you can do in the game without needing a tutorial to explain it.

The achievements are all unlockable by regularly playing the game - if you just play the game for 10 hours the way it's designed to be played, you likely have unlocked all achievements in the game. There are no achievements that force you to do things just for the sake of getting an achievement.

Stats for Blocks Mined, Placed, Crafted


If you scroll down in the settings UI of the game, you now see stats for how many blocks you have mined, placed and crafted in your total playtime of the game. These stats are stored in the Steam Cloud, so even if you completely wipe the game off your PC and reinstall it, these numbers will not reset and keep incrementing.

-----------------


As usual, thanks very much to our great beta testers in the official cyubeVR discord who tested this update as part of 8 separate beta builds! If you also want to test new features earlier when they come out in the beta branch, make sure to join the discord and take a look at the #beta-build-patch-notes and #beta-build-discussion channel!

That's all for today! If you like the game, don't forget to tell other people about it and write a review on Steam if you haven't done that already, even if its just a few words. Writing a review and spreading the word is the easiest way you can support the game!
Thanks for caring about the game and as usual, make sure to report all issues you see and give me as much feedback as possible in the official forums or the official discord server, join it before its full ;) We're over 500 people there already, come and join us! If you don't like something about the game, tell me there and I'll try to improve it! I'm available to chat with anyone in discord :)

There's also a cyubeVR subreddit available on Reddit, if you're active on Reddit, make sure to subscribe to it and maybe post some great screenshots there!

Also, don't forget there's an official roadmap with voting features.

Looking forward to hearing what you think about the new update :)

Cheers!

Update 33 for cyubeVR is live! Magic vacuum bucket, magic crystals and more!



Hey everyone, Update 33 for cyubeVR is live!

The old bucket has finally been retired and been replaced with an awesome new magic vacuum bucket! Collecting items became way easier. Also, magic crystals have been added which you can find and charge with either sun or moon light, resulting in different crystal colors. You can attach these crystals to the bucket to make it either attract or push away items with multiple meters range. A vacuum bucket!

There's also more great new features and a lot of bugfixes, so let's take a look at the whole list and then get into more detail for the new magic bucket and crystals and all the other great things!
  • Added new magic bucket!
  • Added crystal blocks
  • Added magic crystals and mechanics for charging crystals
  • Added support for animated custom mod blocks
  • Added player coordinates below the settings in the inventory briefcase
  • Default bloom setting is now "Medium"
  • Significantly improved world loading speed
  • Added "starter chest" next to the player when creating a new world with some items inside
  • When starting a new world, the player now starts with 10 torches in the inventory
  • Added support for running the game through DirectX 12
  • Fixed shovel not working correctly on custom mod blocks
  • Fixed haptic feedback of shovel
  • Fixed place tool not being updated when no more of item left in inventory
  • Fixed placing chests/chairs being possible at invalid locations
  • Fixed tool selection sometimes not working
  • Fixed spawned items when destroying mesh objects like chests or chairs
  • Fixed nuggets being too heavy (moving too slowly) with telekinesis
  • Fixed image of currently crafted item not being visible correctly on side of bucket
  • Fixed some blocks not having "pop" sound when being destroyed
  • Fixed "ghost items" from quick bar being visible as real items in "slide UI" on right controller when using Vive controllers
  • Fixed visual ghosting on hand
  • Fixed behavior when attempting to add an item with a stack limit of 1 to an existing slot of that item in the chest
  • Fixed color of numbers on block items in chests incorrectly switching between black/white
  • Made sure that bow is always deactivated when inventory is opened
  • Updated compiler from Visual Studio 2017 to Visual Studio 2019
  • More performance improvements
  • Fixed multiple crashes


Magic bucket




The old bucket has finally been retired, and a new bucket has been added to the game. Yay! This new bucket looks way better than the old one, it's extremely detailed and has nice 8K textures on it. It also has a slot for a magic crystal, nicely integrated into one side of the wood.

By default, the bucket always has a low-pwer short range vacuum effect now with a range of a bit less than a meter, or a few feet. This means the bucket will never not have any magic effect. If you attach a charged blue crystal to the bucket, the bucket has a very strong vacuum effect with many meters range that makes it extremely quick to collect items from all around you - you just need to point the bucket at some items and the items will get attracted by the bucket and automatically added to your inventory!

To attach a crystal to the bucket, you just grab a crystal and drop it into the crystal slot on the side of the bucket. If the crystal is charged, the veins of the bucket will start glowing in the crystal color and the bucket will activate the magic effect that corresponds to the crystal color. A blue crystal will make the bucket suck in items, and a red crystal will make the bucket blow instead of suck. So, you have a vacuum bucket and a leafblower now!

Magic crystals




You can now find crystal blocks in caves, and when you break those, you get one magic crystal.

You can charge these magic crystals either by exposing them to sun light, or by exposing them to moon light. Sun light will charge the crystals blue, while moon light will charge the crystals red. For charging them, you just place the crystals somewhere outside. During charging, you see a charging effect that shows you the crystal is actively being charged. The more charge a crystal has, the brighter it becomes.

If you have a fully charged blue crystal outside during night, it will slowly discharge until it's at 0% charge and then it will switch it's color to red and start charging again. If you have a red crystal exposed to sunlight, the same will happen. You need to make sure that you collect your fully charged crystals during the correct time of day, otherwise you might not get the full desired crystal charge color.

Crystals can not be stacked in the inventory. Every crystal has a green bar below the icon that corresponds to the amount of charge in the crystal. Additionally, the exact % of charge remaining in the crystal will be shown at the top in the name of the crystal, e.g. "Magic Crystal (80%)".

Animated custom mod blocks


The last updated added custom mod blocks that anyone can easily create, add to the game and share through Steam Workshop. If you haven't seen that Update, read more about it here:

https://steamcommunity.com/ogg/619500/announcements/detail/1612771606001087117

After that update was released, one request in our great discord server was to make it possible to add animated blocks, for example for animated water. Support for that has been added now!



Creating animated blocks works same like creating regular custom blocks (which you can read more about here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/619500/discussions/3/1640917625019543783/) with only small differences in how you have to create the texture. If you want to create some great animated mod blocks and share them through Steam Workshop, it's best if you come into our great discord server where we will be happy to assist you with any questions you have :)

Player Coordinates




If you scroll down in the settings, you can now see your X and Y coordinates in the world. The coordinates are in meters. This should allow you to make sure that you never "get lost" in the world, and that you find your way back to your home no matter how lost you get. You only need to be able to remember the coordinates of your home.

Making the game a bit easier for new players


When starting a new world, you now start with 10 torches in the inventory, and additionally a chest is spawned next to the player, with 10 dark processed wood and 10 light processed wood being inside of the chest.

Having the initial torches should makes it way more convenient for a new player to find some coal for building more torches. Torches can be re-used infinitely, so 10 torches are for sure enough to make finding the first coal easier. Having the chest with processed wood inside results in multiple nice things:

1. A new player knows there are chests in the game, and sees and can play around with the great VR mechanics of the chest.
2. A new player knows there is processed wood
3. A new player can easily play around with how placing blocks works, without having to collect some first
4. A new player has something to look at / play with at the spawn, even if using a slow CPU that might cause initial world generation to be slow
5. Every time you come back to that location, you see the chest, so you will always know where you initially spawned in the world

DirectX 12 support


The game now supports running through DirectX 12. To do this, you need to manually launch the game with the additional command line argument -dx12. Testing shows that DirectX 12 does result in slightly worse performance when using Nvidia GPUs though. Results might be different on AMD GPUs, so there DirectX 12 might result in improved performance. DirectX 11 will stay the default for now. DirectX 12 will be required for raytracing support in the future!

Update 32 is live! Steam Workshop integration with custom mod blocks, improvements to controls, a lot of bugfixes and more!



Hey everyone, Update 32 for cyubeVR is live!

With this update, a great new feature is added to the game: Everyone can now easily create custom mod blocks with custom recipes and share them through Steam Workshop! You can subscribe to any of the blocks that are available on Steam Workshop, and they will automatically be downloaded and updated through Steam. These mod blocks have a lot of flexibility and they can be used just like any other original block in the game!

There's also a lot of bugfixes and other improvements, so let's take a look at the whole list and then get into more detail for the custom mod blocks!
  • Custom mod block support!
  • Adjusted controls for enabling the bow on Index Controllers, Touch Controllers and WMR
  • Adjusted optimization for deer/rabbits to make them look a bit more natural in their movements
  • Telekinesis now also works on rabbits
  • Fixed dead animals sometimes being back from the dead after restarting the game
  • Fixed animals sometimes being able to spawn at locations where they shouldn't be able to spawn
  • Fixed chests sometimes not working correctly
  • Improved world loading code
  • Fixed distance fog not using correct distance based on the view distance that is set
  • Adjusted distance fog color to be a bit more white and less blue during the day
  • Reduced controller latency
  • Decreased AO strength in dark areas
  • Fixed inventory UI sometimes flickering in the game desktop mirror window
  • Fixed telekinesis affecting individual item of item structure, it now correctly affects the whole structure
  • Moving around chest/chairs with index controllers now also works when using "grab" instead of trigger
  • The number on block items in chests now has a different color and already appears at a greater distance
  • Keep "ghost" representation for block item in quick bar when none of that item are left in inventory
  • It's now possible to swap places of items in the inventory by dropping an item on top of another slot
  • Fixed some blocks not playing any block destroy sound
  • Fixed block destroy particles sometimes not having the correct texture
  • Fixed multiple crashes




Custom mod blocks with Steam Workshop integration!


Everyone can now create an custom blocks for the game, showing custom textures, with custom recipes for crafting the custom blocks. Creating a custom block is very easy, you don't need to be an expert in any special software, the game just needs some 2D images. So if you would want, you could go into Paint, draw some textures and create a custom block based on those! I've written a detailed post here about "How to create custom mod blocks for cyubeVR":

https://steamcommunity.com/app/619500/discussions/3/1640917625019543783/

If you are interested in adding some great blocks to the game, that will hopefully explain every step in a lot of detail!

And if you don't want to spend any time creating your own blocks, you can super easily subscribe to mod blocks from other people on the Steam Workshop!

There is a full and working integration for Steam Workshop, which makes it extremely easy to download and install new custom mod blocks.

You can share your custom mod blocks with anyone through Steam Workshop, and you can browse through Steam Workshop to find and subscribe to new custom mod blocks that are automatically downloaded and updated through Steam.

Take a look at cyubeVRs Steam Workshop here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/619500/workshop/

Since this feature has been tested in the beta build of cyubeVR for a while now by our great beta testers, some awesome mod blocks have been uploaded to the Steam Workshop already!

Take a look at these blocks, all made by Endermoonlight:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1822025972

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1822015882

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1819476948

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1821373903

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1820070390

For managing the Steam Workshop (uploading new items and seeing which items from the workshop you currently have installed), there is a new UI in the main menu, where you see all your locally installed mod blocks, and all mod blocks you are subscribed to on the Steam Workshop. Uploading new blocks to the workshop or updating existing ones can also be done there with one single button click.

The Steam Workshop integration is hopefully very easy and convenient to use! And if anyone ever has any questions, there's also the new #modding channel on the official cyubeVR discord, for in-depth discussion about anything related to this great new feature! If anyone needs any assistance with creating custom mod blocks, just tag me (@sbsce) on the discord and I'll likely reply within a few minutes :)

I hope that we will get a ton more awesome custom mod blocks in the workshop in the near future, if you believe you have any skills with designing such things, please do! I'll mention the best custom mod blocks in upcoming announcements here on Steam.

One thing to note, loading into your world is slower the first time you load into the world with a new custom block config. So if you subscribe to a bunch of blocks from the workshop now and you see the game take longer than usual to load the whole view distance, don't worry, that's normal and only happens when you change which custom blocks you have installed.

Adjusted bow controls


On Index Controllers, Touch Controllers and WMR, the bow is now no longer "hold to enable". Instead, you need to press the button once to enable the bow, and then either press the button again to disable the bow, or open your left hand to disable the bow (same like you leave the tool and block place mode on the right hand). This was changed because before, it was not possible to use the bow and use smooth locomotion at the same time, as your left thumb could not simultaneously hold the bow button and also use the thumbstick. Now you can use the bow and move at the same time.

Telekinesis now also works on rabbits


This is a small thing, but it's so much fun! Telekinesis is currently still only supported on Index Controllers, but in the near future it will be supported on all other controllers too. If you have index controllers, definitely try to let some rabbits fly!

Improvement to quick bar slots in inventory


This has been a long requested feature for the inventory: When you have some item in the block quick bar, and you place the last of that item or drag it out of the inventory, a "ghost" representation of that item now stays in the quick bar, and once you add any of that item to your inventory again, it's directly usable at the quick bar slot where it previously was.

Update 31 is live! Support for Valve Index Controllers (Finger Tracking!), Hands, Major refactoring of controls, SteamVR Input System!



Hey everyone, Update 31 for cyubeVR is live!

This Update is very much about giving the game the best possible support for the new Valve Index Controllers, but it also adds completely new control schemes for Oculus Touch Controllers and Windows Mixed Reality Controllers, and no matter which controller you use, you now see hands in the game that make use of SteamVR Skeletal Input to move your fingers as accurately as possible depending on how accurate your controller can track your fingers. The new SteamVR Input system also means you can rebind all cyubeVR controls through the SteamVR Input Bindings Dashboard now!

Here is a new official video showing how Valve Index Controllers work in cyubeVR, and also showing the great new hands with finger tracking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbKpVV1ppJY

As usual, here's a very quick overview of the things changed in Update 31, with some more details below:



  • Instead of seeing controller models, you now have hands in the game
  • Controls are now using the SteamVR input system, allowing rebinding
  • Added new control scheme built for Valve Index Controllers
  • Added new control schemes for Oculus Touch Controllers and Windows Mixed Reality Controllers
  • Added telekinesis using finger tracking, only working with Valve Index Controllers for now
  • Added setting for hand size
  • Major modifications to the tutorial
  • Added new "Bindings Overview" to the bottom part of the inventory briefcase, telling you what every button on your controller does
  • Added setting for making that "Bindings Overview" visible or hidden
  • Main Menu is now looking better and sharper
  • Bow feels better now and has better haptical feedback
  • You can now adjust the block placement distance by grabbing the preview block of the block placement tool with your left hand



Hands with finger tracking




You now have hands in the game! Depending on which controllers you use, you also have (close to) perfect finger tracking! Real finger tracking only works with Valve Index Controllers, and the second most realistic finger movement representation you get with Oculus Touch controllers, as those also have a bunch of sensors to detect where your fingers are. Vive Controllers support basic finger movement (Grip - Not Grip, and thumb on touchpad). Windows Mixed Reality controllers do not support SteamVR Skeketal Input currently, so with WMR controllers, you will see fully static hands.

The game uses SteamVR Skeletal Input for the finger representation, you can see some examples of what the different controller types are capable of in this announcement post from Valve about SteamVR Skeletal Input:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/250820/announcements/detail/1690421280625220068

New control scheme


There is a fully new control scheme in the game, added from the ground up for Valve Index Controllers. Not only Index Controllers are using that though, but, with some modifications, also the Oculus Touch controllers and WMR controllers. With this new control scheme, the thumbsticks are used for movement and turning, and grip is done with grip buttons or, in the case of Index Controllers, natural gripping objects. For seeing how the new control scheme works, definitely watch the video linked above!

SteamVR Input


The game now uses the SteamVR Input system. This means you can actually yourself rebind all controls in the game through the SteamVR Input Bindings Dashboard which you can access by going to Devices -> Configure Controllers in SteamVR. So, if you don't like some binding, you can actually change it yourself, and everyone can even share bindings for the game through Steam Workshop! This also means that the game will "automatically" be compatible with all new upcoming controllers now, even if I as the dev would never actively add support for those, as the community would always be able to create perfectly fitting bindings for any new controller that SteamVR supports.

Tutorial overhaul and button mapping overview


Since there is a completely new control-scheme in the game, the tutorial had to be adapted to still explain everything correctly no matter which controller you are actually using. To accomplish this, there are now basicalyl 4 different versions of the tutorial - one for Vive Controllers, one for Oculus Touch Controllers, one for WMR controller and one for Valve Index Controllers. Also, the first 3 tutorial pages are now about the "First steps in the game", and hopefully make it easier for someone new to understand what the first steps are when playing the game. At the end of the tutorial, a new page has been added about moving blocks after they are placed, as that's a great feature of the game that was never explained in the tutorial before!

Additionally to that, in the bottom part of the inventory briefcase, you now see a quick overview of what every button on your specific controller is doing. There also is a setting that allows you to disable this overview if you do not want to constantly see it because you are familiar with the controls already. Just as an example, this is how the button mapping overview looks like while using Oculus Touch controllers:



-----------------


As usual, thanks very much to our great beta testers in the official cyubeVR discord who tested this update as part of 14 separate beta builds! In the case of Index Controller support, testing was obviously not done as in-depth as usually with other features, as not many people had Index Controllers yet! If you also want to test new features earlier when they come out in the beta branch, make sure to join the discord and take a look at the #beta-build-patch-notes and #beta-build-discussion channel!

That's all for today! If you like the game, don't forget to tell other people about it and write a review on Steam if you haven't done that already, even if its just a few words. Writing a review and spreading the word is the easiest way you can support the game!
Thanks for caring about the game and as usual, make sure to report all issues you see and give me as much feedback as possible in the official forums or the official discord server, join it before its full ;) We're almost 500 people strong there already, come and join us!
