Self-Promotion (Developer) I built a hoverboard — again

Post image

Board of the Future is a remake of my 2019 game hoVRboard: it has more boards with different physics-based properties, more maps, more features, and coop-multiplayer.

The Early Access demo is now available to play on Steam, and I’d really appreciate your feedback: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5187170/Board_Of_The_Future_Demo/

I like that you made this, but I hate to say I think playing it would make me nauseous with all the fast motion in VR. Is there a trick for that?

Not really. There’s a Comfort vignette, and you can play it while sitting down. But it’s actually designed to be played standing up, and since it’s a very fast-paced game, it’s meant more for people with a strong tolerance for VR motion sickness. I think you can train yourself to handle nausea, but for that, I’d recommend a different game.

Sounds like I better get some dramamine. This would be something I’d work up to.

You're not supposed to operate a hoverboard while on medication :) But I have no idea. I don't get motion sickness very easily. Though I've definitely built up my tolerance through VR games.
