Some clarifications I believe I should make:
-
I have been working on updating the extension still, and have actually silently posted a small update to the file on my ko-fi store recently
-
I only plan to make the early access of the extension paid, it will be released for free when it will be fully finished
-
Although my personal bias is obvious, I would personally recommend not to use the extension above:
-
Even though in its current state, my extension is missing a lot and very sparse in functionality, the extension above is missing even more: it merely provides a single action to enter a scene in VR and nothing more.
-
The extension is just blatantly lying on its page, by for example claiming to provide “VR Button Inputs”, when it, in fact, does not provide such conditions.
-
The extension requires an internet connection to load and run code from a third party server to function
-
The code of the extension is pretty sloppy/naive, can and will break in many common scenarios
-
The extension is very inflexible, by forcing mechanics into your game, like moving the player with the joystick, without giving you a way to control it or do e.g. collision handling etc.
-
The extension creator displays a poor understanding of the VR space, by for example having implemented as only and forced movement method movement by joystick, when it has been common practice to use other methods for years, since that is widely known to be causing heavy motion sickness.

Hey, I really appreciate your comment. You gave me the inspiration to do it. I know it’s not the best and I am still working on it to use better approach but the reason I did this extension Beacuse I saw no update from your extension. Btw three js webxr is not updated like a frame so I choose it instead .i did it using Claude and some of my knowledge and tried my best just to give people option to get into vr dev. Its free and fun:

And for lying on page. I was really excited it was working Beacuse I did find a way to get input from controller like joystick . So I pushed a simple example for free and wrote I will push today better organization. Which includes functions for each thing instead of one bulky function.
I am glad to see lots of enthusiasm in the Gdevelop community to make VR games. Thank you both for working on these extensions, exciting times are ahead!
