Long time Obi user here. We have just released a trailer and Steampage for our game that is making extensive use of Obi. Actually, all of the game is made using Obi - I had to drop rigid body-Obi interactions to get the physics as tight as possible.

It scored 70th of 833 overall and 20th in theme. 

It was a fun experiences esp to keep the rope steady and under tension, while not over stretching it. I kind of wish there was a "tensioner" for the rope that keeps the rope at a specific tension all the time. I wrote something that goes into that direction, but it is quite clunky.

I also wished there was more documentation on how the rope collisions are calculated, since apparently they are done around the 0-coordiantes and you can collide with them, even though collisions are turned off for the rope. I noticed that this is why the rope demo is off axis. It took me a while to understand the intricacies around this. Naturally I also would love for this to work in WebGL, but even though Burst is now available, it was too slow to work and I had not time to dive in deeper.]]> The game is very limited, as it is normal for a gamejam project, but still was fun to make and play: https://vendolis.itch.io/color-weave

• The entire ecosystem is simulated using a complex AI system
  
• The player uses different watercraft to navigate large non-linear environments
  
• All the angling interactions are phyiscs-driven, thanks to Obi  
  The fish actually fight against your rod and line.

Thought I'd post this as the game is now released. Received a lot of help from Jose Mendez over the past few years with a bunch of questions.

All sails, and the larger flags are all Obi 7. There's a smattering of ropes as well -- though it just wasn't performant to do full rigging setups with it.

Great asset, great dev.]]>

This games uses Obi Fluid for the main puzzle mechanics. In addition to saucing foods, you can cover the customers, walls, and kill zombies with Obi Fluid sauces!

My colleagues and I have been using Obi to research the robot manipulation of shoelaces. We recently published a paper using this simulation environment.



Here is our open-source repo: ImperialCollegeLondon/UniLace (github.com).

Here is the paper: Benchmarking and Simulating Bimanual Robot Shoe Lacing | IEEE Journals & Magazine | IEEE Xplore.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our simulation!

Basically, Hook-a-Duck VR is a simple VR interpretation of the classic fairground stalwart, with a few extra spicy additions. Despite what it might look like in the video, this doesn't use Obi Fluid, it only uses Obi Rope for the fishing rod's line and the Obi Bone functionality for some physics on the fishing rod itself.

It's available on Steam & Itch.io, and there is a demo available but currently only on Itch (There's a "Download demo" section on the page linked previously). The Steam version of the demo will be available later.]]>

I've been working on a caving simulator for some time now. Obi has become an integral part to get rope climbing, guidelines and hoses interactive! It's incredible what it can do :O

I'm seeing some performance issues from the high fidelity of the rope, but hopefully the new GPU accelerated version can improve on that!

Ultimately, my vision is of a VR fishing game in which you navigate lakes/rivers with a canoe or kayak and use an array of tackle to catch different species of fish. Haptic feedback is used to simulate the resistance of the fish on the line and reel. Everything is driven by actual rigidbody forces.
I have built a fish behavior system that allows the fish to respond to various kinds of stimuli with a range of behavior.

If this idea seems compelling to anyone, I am actively looking for another person to join the project as a developer or artist.]]>

Hello, I'm currently conducting user research into the game mechanics so i've been asking people to play the game then complete a questionnaire.

If you are interested in playtesting please follow the link where you can find:

1. More information about the study
   
2. A folder to be downloaded containing the game
   
3. A link to the questionnaire
