I finally got my rift! (i'm in melbourne). Been waiting since October 2012, I feel like a much calmer person now 😛

First impressions - it rocks! The screen door effect is noticeable, but doesn't bother me too much or diminish the fun (although better resolution would be pretty sweet!)

So far I tried tuscany, roller coaster, alone in the rift, and some Japanese cartoon "porn" game (although it's not actually porn, unless I'm meant to interact with the characters, which I couldn't work out how to do).

Tuscany is my favorite so far, followed by roller coaster. I thought I'd like the space games best, since I'm a space nerd, but the "blackness" isn't convincing (yes, I tried playing with contrast and brightness). Also, I didn't get a sense of scale in "alone in the rift" - the earth looked like a big ball infront of me, but didn't feel like the size of a planet. Maybe that's just me.

So, in my experience, games that are bright and full of light (like Tuscany) work much better than dark backgrounds. Does anyone else find that? I'm guessing that's just a personal thing

Anyways, I can't wait to start one of the project I have lined up for the rift, I'll make something bright and cheery so the missus can enjoy it (she hates horror)

Any one based in Brisbane there is a meetup scheduled for August 4. http://www.meetup.com/Game-Technology-Brisbane/events/126359082/ . Dealing specificly with the rift and programing challenges. There will be at least one rift there, and with this new "processing" frenzy that seems to be rolling through OZ there may be a number on hand to check out various demos etc.

There are some fairly talented folks there, i encourage any one interested and in the area to attend.
