Cosmic Sugar VR (marketed as Cosmic Sugar) is a free-to-play VR App in which the player shapes clouds of particles with motion controllers. It was developed by David Lobser and is listed on Steam with Object Normal as publisher; the Steam store page shows a release date of 30 November 2016.[1] It supports SteamVR headsets such as the HTC Vive, and the developer's site also lists an Oculus Rift version and a Quest version (App Lab).[2] A paid Pro add-on (DLC) was added on Steam in late 2018.[3]
Overview
Cosmic Sugar is a particle simulation rather than a game with goals. According to the Steam listing, the controllers pull particles in or push them away, which lets the player form nebula-like shapes. The Pro add-on's page identifies gravity as the tool available in the free version.[1][3] The Pro add-on adds further instruments (cymatics, orbit, noise and line drawing), global sliders for settings such as speed, mass and audio reactivity, and a choice of 1, 2, 4 or 8 million particles.[3]
According to its developer, Cosmic Sugar began as a MIDI-driven VJing tool made at a music hackathon and was gradually ported to VR. The developer's press page says later versions can freeze the particles and save them as high resolution prints or export them as point clouds, with 100,000 particles on Quest 2 and more than 1,000,000 on PC.[2] The same page says it has been shown at events including Burning Man, the Electric Daisy Carnival, Pioneer Works and The People's Film Festival.[2]
