Since I have a huge number of unplayed games, common sense would dictate that I don't add any more to the pile.

Sadly, it appears that I am lacking in the "common sense" department. A few days ago I caught a couple of minutes of a gameplay video of Boundary.

Boundary is a 6DOF multiplayer space-based tactical shooter. It looked like a lot of fun. It's in early access on Steam, so I added it to my wishlist.

Then Fanatical sent me an alert yesterday to advise me that it was on special for 10% off, and I had an outstanding 5% discount voucher, and FOMO minutes later, I was the proud owner of a copy of Boundary.

I played it today, and I'd love to say I was not disappointed. Unfortunately, I cannot say that.

There's very little in the way of laying out what each piece of kit does.

In-game found myself getting railed from across the other side of a space station one too many times (which is nowhere near as fun as it sounds).

It's got potential. When it's fun, it's really fun. It's just that it's mostly full of bots; when it's not, if your team is losing, there are no penalties to other players quitting out, so they do.

I don't regret buying Boundary... yet. It's:

3: OK

WHOOP WHOOP!
#KRpano 1.20.8 ist heute erschienen.
Nun können auch texturierte 3D Modelle verwendet werden!

Das 3D Model im gezeigten Beispiel ist von mir und wurde mit dem #PanoBlenderAddon und #PanoCamAdder erstellt.

Ich freue mich ganz doll darüber! 😊

Hier der ForumLink mit allen neuen Features:

Why didn't anyone tell me there's a new Descent called "Overload" by the makers of the original Descent games?! Available on GOG.com! Impatiently waiting for the next discount now... #Descent #Overload #6DoF

Overload is basically Descent v4 and I am so in.

Now I gotta buy a joystick. #gaming #6dof #motionsick

ok consider me slightly impressed. I was able to run #BeatSaber on #SteamVR through #WindowsMixedReality Portal on a 13.5 inch laptop. Yes, graphics were on low settings, and UI wasn't super smooth, but I ran 2 #6DoF #VR environments at the same time with a 2GB GPU.

So this is another good step forward from #360video to volumetric #6dof video. Really good for Oculus and Vive users: http://www.roadtovr.com/adobes-new-research-aims-give-depth-monoscopic-360-video/

I'm really interested in the #6DOF camera that Facebook is coming out with in the future. 🤔

If the idea of fitting multiple lenses onto 360 cameras takes off, I think we'll be seeing less #360video and more #6DOFvideo.
