Hi there. I use Unity and I use configurable joints for the player body. The upper body, lower body, feet, and hands are all connected with joints. Attaching objects to the hands also uses joints.
The Patreon is specifically for supporting the development, I don't recommend joining it just for the beta. You only have to pay once if you buy it on App Lab or Steam (when it releases).
You only have to pay once once you buy it on App Lab or Steam. If it gets promoted from App Lab to the main store your entitlement will carry over, it will be the same app.
Slots will become available on the 1st on April once current subscriptions have expired at the end of the month. Bare in mind that there will only be one more beta (beta 6) as the closed beta is coming to an end.
After beta 6 work will begin on preparing the Quest App Lab and PC Steam launches.
For Playground 2, you will be able to modify simple things like player strength, gravity, damage multipliers, etc. I would like to support custom modding but it will require a lot of resources that I don't currently have. Later down the line I'll look into it again.
Stabbing requires a complete rewrite to be fixed which I won't be doing for Physics Playground, since I have stopped working on it. The new system will be available in the Primordian update (the only game of the 3 that will have stabbing) whenever that is released.
The new game will be brand new, which has nothing to do with Physics Playground. It will be a paid game releasing on the Oculus Quest store. There will be no demo of the new game.
Hey. Thanks for the feedback! Physics Playground is only meant to be a tech demo instead of an actual game, so there won't be any more new features.
I'm releasing one more bug fix update soon, but my attention has shifted onto working on a brand new game that will be coming to the official Oculus Quest store next year.
