a stinky ox 🐂On the one hand, yes it'd be nice to do an updated Polybius on PSVR2.
On the other hand... is everyone who already bought it on PSVR1 going to expect to get the PSVR2 version as a free upgrade?

It CANNOT be free ! You know HOW MUCH WORK is going to take me to basically re-do it "all new" and make PSVR2 work ? It's "not even close" to PSVR ! It's not an "upgrade" it's more a "remake" ! "Do they think 'portings' ( more a 'do it all new' ) happen in a snap ?" .. And thanks goat we did not need to pay for XXX or it'll be quite some money "just to get the stuff running!" .. I already spent "a bit" just to get all the system up 😎 There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Gary Parker@gilesgoat @llamasoft_ox did you get a devkit, then? At least this is some insight into why there’s no backcompat if it’s all *that* different

Yes I did and been told that "I have to make a native PS5 code", which means "all the PS4 thing goes out of the window". PSVR2 I don't have one yet ( will come ) first look at things I can't talk about ( NDA ) is like "wow ... " .. well it's the price to pay when you do something really new/better/different .. things change .. so I yet have to learn how everything works ..

Also don't take me wrong I LOVE doing NEW stuff .. but IT TAKES TIME and work, it's not that it's just a "recompile/snap/all gone" it's NEVER EVER like that.
Also that gives me opportunities to fix bugs, nuisances, do some things better. Polybius is really "one of the most complex bits of code we done", it truly has "the full Neon upgraded engine" in, it synthesizes graphics and geometry and it's a bit of a mess 😅 Everything is parametric except the cow 😃 ( partially )

Tanatoes@gilesgoat @witewulf @llamasoft_ox I will 100% buy Polybius again. For what it’s worth. I’d love to see Hover Bovver VR or Llamatron 3D or whatever sheepy new nonsense too. Just let me put my head in pixel joy again!
@Tanatoes @gilesgoat @witewulf funnily enough I was thinking about the thing I'm doing now and it occurred to me that it would actually be quite a suitable basis for levels of Hover Bovver or Llamatron.
