[simpits-tech] Gear VR Space Sim footage

[Brian Sikkema]

As promised! :D

I include a few more details in the video description than I was able to 
squeeze into the narration, so make sure to take a look at that. 
Apologies for the audio quality, I had to record with my laptop mic as 
it's all I have here.

Fair warning, it's visually pretty unimpressive right now. For starters, 
to call this alpha would be an insult to alpha builds everywhere. I've 
dabbled with Unity3D and GearVR before, but this is my first true 
concerted attempt at making an app for something more than just 
tinkering, so I'm teaching myself a lot of stuff as I go along. I'm also 
building absolutely everything from scratch, partly for the learning 
experience, partly because I'm not looking to spend any money on 
prebuilt assets, and partly because my bandwidth here has a per-month 
limit that I get charged extra for going over, so I keep my downloads of 
anything to a minimum, lol. And finally, my focus thus far is on backend 
stuff, getting the physics right, controls, etc. So for example, right 
now the Earth model I have is super duper basic, but that's an easy 
swap-out later, I just whipped something together quick to me something 
to reference.

I've set up a playlist on my YouTube channel so as I get new things to 
show off I'll keep adding videos. :) Hope you guys enjoy!
