Way back in the day, I did many little experiments to reimagine non-VR games/mechanics in VR. Here's a Binding of Isaac experiment from 2016. Obviously shooting tears out of your eyes in VR wouldn't be very comfortable, so I turned the player's hand into a floating Isaac. - ThreadSky

this is such an adorable idea

Interesting approach to the issue of the tears. Having a VR version of Binding Of Isaac would be so cool!

love the subtle detail of the wings speeding up when moving

Do you have other examples of games you remade in VR 👀

majormcdoom.bsky.social•195 days ago

Yes! Unfortunately back then I was also kind of a loose cannon 😅, and most of my experiments were done with Owlchemy assets. It wouldn't be wise for me to share the IP crossover stuff, since it could get me and/or Owlchemy into trouble, lol.

It looks like it almost feels like playing with dolls haha. In the best way possible of course

majormcdoom.bsky.social•196 days ago

Yep, totally. Voodoo doll. And I get that feeling from playing 2D Isaac, too, so it worked out! 😂

Didn't get too far in this experiment. No combat or other abilities (REALLY wanted to try out brimstone 😢). But still, it felt very rewarding, like a sneak peek into a potential VR version of the game.
