A 3D idle farming game for VR that uses a portal to allow users to see and interact with the scene presented inside of it, while inside of any other VR game
Portable Farm is a new type of SteamVR overlay that displays 3D objects and scenes through a two-dimensional portal, allowing users to reach inside and interact with objects on another dimension, on top of their normal VR experience. Meaning; idle games and other such concepts are now possible within VR!
NOTE: Due to the nature of this application running alongside VR games, it has a problem with CPU bottlenecking in some systems, it's recommended for users to try out the demo provided, to gauge if their system can handle running this application and their VR games at the same time
Water your crops, till the ground, and plant your choice of seeds to go from humble beginnings to a fully decorated and upgraded farm!

FAQ
I started the application but I can't see the portal? / The portal is too far away!
This can happen with some setups involving space movers, go to the desktop UI and click the "Recenter Portal" button, then grab the portal to see through it while moving it around, if the farming terrain is not nearby, then click the "Recenter Player" button which will move the player in front of the farming terrain. If the portal still doesn't show up, try a restart of the app, if this doesn't work, the last rare occurrence was when the app couldn't recognize the SteamVR program, which was solved by re-installing SteamVR.
I don't like having to reposition the portal every time I move while it's closed
There is an option on the UI of the game that allows you to have the portal follow your location and/or your rotation while it it closed, making it stay in the same place relative to you from when you closed it, so all you have to do is close the portal when it's at a comfortable position and that will be restored relative to you, no matter where you move while the portal is closed.
I notice some "wavey"-ness when my head is closer to the portal
This is due to the display method, to have the portal father back without cutting off the front of the terrain, unchecking the "Set Near Clip To Portal" option will allow you to move the portal back, without it cutting out what's in front of the portal (ie: between you and the portal, rather than behind the portal), making it much more comfortable to look at since it's farther away, adjusting the scale can also make it easier to sit the portal further back on the terrain.
My crops aren't growing!
It could be that you planted crops from another season, which won't grow during the wrong season, unless the block they are planted on has been upgraded to override that. Check the shop's bottom shelf to see what crops can grow when.
I can't buy anything from the seed shop because I have no money left!
You only start out with 20 money, so you can usually only buy 1-2 seeds to start out. If you end up in a place where you have no more money for seeds from the shop, no crops growing and nothing to return to the shop that would give you money back, within 60 seconds the game should check that you're at a dead-end and will restore your money count to 20.
I skipped the tutorial, can't get the gesture to work, or forgot how the gesture works!
If you can't remember the gesture or want to see the tutorial again, pressing F3 on the desktop UI and then pressing the "Show tutorial again" button will run through the tutorial again, showing off the gesture with rotational axis labelled. If the gesture is too hard, or you can't twist your hands fast enough, you can lower the slider value on the lower left of the UI, which should make the gesture much easier to trigger
Can other people in the game see the farm?
Unfortunately no, they will simply see you doing m
