Portal

A VR immersive media viewer. Wrap a 3D tunnel with a sphere of video tiles around you — float inside a psychedelic portalscape.

Tech Stack

Engine: Godot 4.6 (Forward Plus / Mobile renderer)
Language: GDScript
XR: OpenXR (hand tracking, controllers, haptics)
Physics: Jolt Physics
Video format: Ogg (.ogv)
Audio format: MP3 (.mp3)
Platforms: Windows (D3D12), Linux, Android / Meta Quest

Opening in Godot

# Editor path:
/home/kyle/Downloads/Apps/Godot_v4.6.1-stable_linux.x86_64

# Open the project:
/path/to/godot4.6 --path /home/kyle/Documents/portal

# Or just double-click `project.godot` if your file manager knows Godot.

Main scene: boot.tscn

Converting Video

Drop a video file onto convert.sh to transcode it to Godot-friendly Ogg format:

chmod +x convert.sh
./convert.sh my_video.mp4
# Produces: my_video.mp4.ogv

# The script uses ffmpeg with these flags:
#   -vf "scale=-1:420"   → scale to 420p height, width auto
#   -q:v 2               → video quality (near-lossless, good for Godot)
#   -q:a 1               → audio quality
#   -g:v 50              → keyframe interval (50 frames)

Drop the resulting .ogv file into the project, reference it from EmissionPoint in portal.tscn, and rebuild your export preset.

Content Variants

Different builds play different videos. Each is controlled via an export preset in export_presets.cfg:

Variant	Video Pattern
stoner_dad_2	`stoner_dad_2.ogv`
stoner_dad_3	`stoner_dad_3.ogv`
stoner_plastic	`stoner_plastic.ogv`
chubs_compilation	`chubs.ogv`
420_special	`420_special.ogv`
420_special_diet	`420_special_diet.ogv`
orc_domination	`orc.ogv`
furry_poppers_daddy	`poppers.ogv`
furry_poppers_stable_stud	`poppers.ogv`
toon_goon	`toon.ogv`
furry_goon_encouragement	`furry_goon.ogv`
furry_big_bad_wolf	`wolf.ogv`

To add a new variant, create a new export preset in Godot's Export dialog and set:

custom_features: comma-separated flags (used at runtime for conditional logic)
include_filter: glob for the video file to bundle (e.g. my_video.ogv)
export_path: output binary path (e.g. bin/windows/portal_my_variant.exe)

Platforms

Windows — 3 export presets (Desktop 64-bit, D3D12, etc.)
Linux — 4 export presets
Android — 17 Meta Quest presets (APK, arm64-v8a)
