Ask HN: Bought Oculus, know C#, never done game dev. What to build?

1 pointdizzy3gg2 comments

I've took advantage of the Oculus deal, I have tons of C# and .net experience but only completed the pong tutorial in Unity and wasn't grabbed by it.

Any pointers on what to build. My day job is currently writing/outsourcing small business/intranet applications, so need some fun in my life.

I've never found any tutorial on Unity to really grab me.

It may be too ambitious but I from an artistic point of view I am interested in the ability of VR to put me in the same room as a fictional character

For instance, in VR a character can move close to you or away from you and thus trigger feelings related to your personal space.

If you've never done Unity, you should just go through the 3D tutorials [0]. The component model is different than what you would do in something like asp.net mvc. So, that takes a bit of getting used to.
