So as it stands, I think that game is out of reach, but, yeah, that would kind of be the dream game to bring to the Quest, but I fear it’s probably never going to happen. So I think there would be some risks entailed with trying to pick that up. I don’t know how they’ve done it, but it’s, you know, it’s not like a truly open source engine port.
There’s somebody who’s managed to do some sort of Android port somehow. You know, it’s one of those games that we get asked about all the time. And also I got halfway through playing it on the original dev kit, but never finished it. Because I’m slightly ashamed to admit I’ve never played all the way through it. The game I would most like to do, but I think will probably never happen is Half-Life 2.
There’s not many games studios where they actually open source their engine software. After that point, I think, id software stopped doing that.
As far as modern games go, I think Doom 3 is kind of - I’m quite happy to be corrected - but Doom 3 is probably one of the most recent well-known popular games that actually has its engine code open source. And is there a dream game that you would like to see ported? Or have you already gotten there?ĭrBeef: The problem is there’s a dependency on the actual software being open source. UploadVR: I’m wondering if you decided to port something that was Quest 2-only how recent do you think you could go with a game.
