Evaluation of the big VR4 survey
Disclaimer: VR4 is NOT CONFIRMED. We are still in the process of evaluating its feasibility.
We conducted a large survey under the motto “Shape The Future of Virtual Rides”. We received a lot of great submissions and were able to get a good overview of your wishes and ideas for a potential successor to Virtual Rides 3. We would like to take this opportunity to give you a little insight into the results:
TOP 5 - the most requested new features:
TOP 3 - the most popular game modes:
TOP 3 - your individual wishes:
- Ride Customization
- Fairground Simulation
- Enhanced Audio Features
Regarding 1. above all, customizable light/LED effects and decoration were mentioned. In addition, (even) more realistic controls and storable, automatic ride programs.
For 2. the assembly and dismantling of rides, individual fairground layouts and a career mode were mentioned.
Under 3. you mainly asked for an improved music system with playlists, integration of streaming providers and more realistic ride and ambient sounds.
Create Your Ride
73% of respondents stated that they would like to use a “Create Your Ride” function, similar to Indoorlands. You can take a look at the workshop and see what users have already built there. Pretty impressive.

Kickstarter
As the potential development of a successor to VR3 would involve a great deal of effort, both in terms of time and money, we naturally also have to think about funding. That's why we asked you about crowdfunding. Only a quarter of respondents had any experience of this, but 40% could definitely imagine such an approach and a further 46% could possibly imagine it. That makes us very happy!
What does this mean?
The results of the survey will help us to assess the feasibility. Thank you again for your participation. We would like to exchange ideas with you on our Discord in the near future. We would also like to give you our perspective on the project and the great challenge of addressing a larger target group than before with a potential successor to VR3.
Until then, we hope you enjoy the latest update.
As always, we value your feedback and encourage you to share your thoughts on this update with us. Your continued support helps us make VR3 better with every update. You can also join our Pixelsplit Discord server: https://discord.gg/fDV3YPA
