Why use Godot vs Unity3D? I don't know much about it. Is it easy to get something running for the Quest? Where do you get the assets?

> Why use Godot vs Unity3D? To me, in part, it's that all licenses are source licenses. :- ) Also, I'm still having trouble cancelling my Unity billing, they are absolute scumbags and I will never ever do business with them again by choice. I think they rely on people giving up on cancelling billing, and they should be ashamed of themselves whether that effect is intentional or not. If you absolutely must get a Unity license, I must recommend not getting the license on your account's "default project", because you can not delete it, nor can you simply cancel the license, and contrary to their documentation, you can not switch which one is the default. > Is it easy to get something running for the Quest? It is very straightforward. https://github.com/GodotVR/godot_oculus_mobile https://github.com/GodotVR/godot_oculus_mobile

I am developing on a linux laptop with a mediocre graphics card. Godot is a ~500MB Download (including the export templates), and that's it. It's fast, and does not take much space (disk and ram). Once started it takes up 0.8% of my RAM (about 256MB). Oculus Quest support is currently only semi official. You have to compile the godot_oculus_mobile plugin yourself but that is really easy and in the future it will be available as an asset from the assetlibrary. As for assets I used, you can import fbx, obj and gltf that should be sufficient enough for most basic things. Mostly my workflow is to download something from sketchfab or blendswap pepare it in Blender, export it as gltf and import it in Godot. Or for simpler stuff like the claws or the head cues I just do it in Blender myself.

  The plugin was added to the asset library a few days ago actually: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/500 https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/500

    I can now confirm that this works. So no more compiling the plugin required.
