What do you think about VR? Is it here to stay? Has it got that killer app that will make the masses buy into this new technology?

I personally never tried VR myself but i believe its taking everyone by story and its here to stay. VR is something that gives the user next level experience and engagement with the game he/she is playing.

After i was satisfied with how my map is so far i moved onto creating so basic gameplay, driving around for no reason gets boring after a while. I decided to make a race, lap race. Following a tutorial I went ahead and made a trigger box checkpoint system which works as the following; whenever the player goes through a checkpoint another one would appear (making the one the player just went through disappear).

here you can see how the checkpoint looks in game. The cones indicate where the next checkpoint will appear. (you cannot see it in when you run the game and it also has no collision.)

Lets move onto the blueprints.

here are the blueprints that make the checkpoint system work. 

The following are the blueprints for the HUD

Finishing the bridges and the small area allowed me to expand on my map.
