Zombie Survival Game Project Zomboid Gets a VR Mod
Project Zomboid's top-down survival loop is being rebuilt in first person by modders, a step past the FPS and TPS mods that already exist, with the game's own developers not involved in the effort.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
A mod that adds VR support to Project Zomboid has been released. Called PZVR, it is built on the FPS/TPS mod Project Viewpoint by axizt, and players can connect a VR headset to play from a first-person perspective. Today it supports VR perspective and controller operation, with full-body tracking and haptics planned by GingasVR. It is available on the Steam Workshop, installed at the player's own risk.
The mod is on the Steam Workshop, and it rests on another mod rather than on the base game. PZVR was built from Project Viewpoint, one of the FPS/TPS mods that turn the top-down game into a 3D perspective. Players connect their own VR device and play from a first-person view. What ships now covers VR perspective and controller input. A second version by GingasVR with full-body tracking and haptics is planned. The mod's pages list the required mods and settings, and installation is at the player's own risk.
