Nice doggo, haptics on the petting nice touch too. I couldn't get him to jump; guess I need more training.

What a cute little dog :) the animations are amazing.

It was an amazing experience, my wife is allergic to dogs and I enjoyed petting this one and playing with it.

THANK YOU

Submitted

Such a cute game! Love the doggo so much. Do wish some strafing was in the game however.  Great job and you all made such a good boy!

Developer(+1)

I hear you! Due to popular demand I have made strafe the default. I've also added a proper menu to the game allowing you to switch locomotion options, graphics options etc. In the interest of fairness I will not release it on itch until after the voting period has ended, but in case anyone really wants now it they could grab  the source.


Submitted

That's awesome to hear! Very much appreciate releasing the source code, I will check that out.

Well done, the dog looks so good! I was so happy when I was able to get the dog to jump up to catch the stick!

Submitted

Great concept, and very well executed! The dog animations and behaviors are fantastic. We had considered a similar "play with pet" concept, but didn't think we could pull off the pet animations - your team got it spot on. :-) Great job!

This is exactly what I imagined a “Doggo++” DLC would look like for Steam’s “The Lab” :D

Submitted

Nice job!  Only critique is that strafe isnt enabled for the direct movement, but thats just me being nitpicky

Submitted

I wasn't able to play the game through the .exe because I couldn't get past the hold trigger intro scene.

Developer(+1)

Sorry about that. Did you start steamxr/openxr before launching the game? I disabled the warning for openxr in the project settings, I probably shouldn't have done that.

Otherwise please try a different openxr runtime (e.g. vdxr vs steam) and let me know how it goes.

Submitted

I tried steamVR both with it already running and having the game start it but it looks like neither one fixed getting past the intro. I really like the game from what I've seen of it though. I'm not sure how to run openXR without the steamVR runtime.

Developer

Hmm that is odd it is just pretty standard godot. I have the same problem on steamvr but not on vdxr, so at least I can replicate the problem. I will try and come up with a fix and get back to you.

Ok I fixed it, try now!

I may have updated the game post-jam but honestly, it wasn't my fault! It's a weird bug in Godot or SteamVR where if the godot project name includes a question mark (Who's a good boy?) then the controllers don't work. WTF!?

This  is literally the only change: https://gitlab.com/DanielKinsman/whos-a-good-boy/-/commit/9562d3360c2a51dc26888e...

Submitted

That's so bizarre lol I'll give it a try tomorrow after work!

Submitted

It looks like the quest version also has this issue.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Do the controllers just not work and you stay at the loading screen or does it just crash?

Nevermind I think I figured this out, forgot to include a file in the export include filters :facepalm:

In the spirit of the "7 day jam" I will eat my mistake and delete the meta apk, will re-upload it once the voting period is over.
