@KenneyNL I was told to explain this is standard for *all games on steam with community cosmetics*, even though valve does let you change the percentage, not many games do.

@TheShadowBrain Terrible too

The Sims 4 is now allowing modders to sell their content through an in-game shop and EA takes... 70% of each sale. I think that's way out of line and 40% above the already controversial typical revenue share for platforms. Creators deserve better. ea.com/games/the-sims…

@KenneyNL Agreed, but I couldn't get Garry to change it...

@bozoid @OmniMain @RehlDeal6 @HL_Alyx_NoVR thanks

@OmniMain @RehlDeal6 @HL_Alyx_NoVR wow it's a stupid VR minigame

Steam Frame dev kits are arriving!

@SadlyItsBradley Yep yep, saw plenty in private chats :)

a lot more developers are getting Steam Frame dev kit requests approved these past couple weeks..

@JdThe65th @SadlyItsBradley Yeah I double checked, apparently he got specific permission to show himself wearing the headset, in my videos I was paranoid about showing more in-depth OS/settings stuff which I think he mostly avoids here too. Pretty ballzy though!

@TheShadowBrain @SadlyItsBradley I mean, I suppose? Unless there's specifically anything against showing the headset itself or opening SteamVR

@TheShadowBrain Both Index and Vive CV are referred to as MP as well in the backend file that this is from

Deckard (Mass Production), aka Steam Frame, is now appearing in the new Steam VR Beta (Along with a few other datamined goodies I will share)

@m21ecom @SadlyItsBradley They would've been the same I presume, just different naming schemes for the same thing, I just assumed they'd be going with CV1 for the name.

@TheShadowBrain @SadlyItsBradley Whats the difference between MP and CV1

@TheShadowBrain 十天过去了，你的机器收到了吗？或者还在路上，等待你的好消息

Looks like the Steam Frame devkits are going to start getting sent out- I got approved! :) Nice to know it'll probably get into developer hands this year.

@Egon_the_Dog It's comfortable, but I can't really go into specifics as that might violate the agreement I signed where it says only to talk about how my game works with it 😅

@TheShadowBrain Nice! Can you talk about comfort? I’d really like to know how the headset feels on ones face? Is it light and comfortable for longer periods of time? Is the top strap necessary or is it light enough to be able to use Frame comfortably even without it?

Really glad the high-def microphones from the index seem to be there, the first part of the video I had to use a shitty wireless lavalier mic but in the second half I swapped to the headset mic, it's super crispy. :D

Got the kit in today, did a little video on Climbey running on it :D youtube.com/watch?v=MbFGt-…

It'll definitely be interesting to see how an Android APK build does vs an x86 Windows build, Linux Arm64 OpenXR is likely off the table since Unity does not like that build path at all currently (and I am a mere Unity developer so that is what I'm stuck with).

Doing a video on Climbey running on the steam frame is going to be quite the gymnastics exercise folks... Still gonna try though! Will likely also do some porting exercises using game jam games of mine, plenty of performance reference there.

@F7Eu1 Looks like I'll only be able to talk about my game- at least until Valve officially shows off the OS and user experience overall themselves.

@F7Eu1 The beta agreement says I can basically only talk about my own game (Climbey) and how it runs on it, I won't be allowed to comment on how other developer's games run on it. Still getting clarification on if I can show the interface and such outside of my game!

@aper_mesa Don't lose hope! My guess is this is going to be a wave based process, they're not done approving folks. This is my second time with valve beta hardware, previous time was in 2018 with the knuckles controllers, might have helped my chances for early approval.

@TheShadowBrain I guess they will examine your Steamworks stats? I submitted very early but I don't think I will get one, since I am a new developer and have only one game...
