I quit my job for an Oculus Rift. Here's our start.

Hey, HN!

I quit my job in cybersecurity to start making games. After my learning-experience-game SPACIOUS (http://www.desura.com/games/publish/spacious) was released in January, I got my hands on a Rift preview kit (the pre-Kickstarter kind) and started building a first-person platformer.

It's called Rift Rush, and you can check it out on Kickstarter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lumina/rift-rush-first-person-platformer-for-oculus-rift

Feel free to use this thread if you have questions about the Rift or about the game. Thanks for reading.




Rift Rush looks amazing. The Oculus Rift has been my favorite project since it started, and I even hope to work with their team someday. Anyway, this game looks amazing, and I cannot wait to try it out!

A few questions:

What is your favorite part about the Oculus Rift so far?

Where do you see the OR in 5 years?

Do you have any plans for another game after Rift Rush?


cool, I think the Oculus Rift has the potential to be huge. You could be in the right place at the right time.

I don't know how to develop, but i was thinking a great use-case for the Oculus would be "virtual tourist". Basically, experience real-world locations without leaving your room.
