#prototype

Our next unit covers simulating a client brief, where us Designers need to make a game according to a brief in about 4 weeks. 

So! I’m partnering up with

@danielstuddert

for a VR Archery focused game! After Beat Ninja, I’m definitely up for some more VR, this time hoping to focus on more of an experience rather than an arcade game.

• The Prototype is being made for PC, this is so we can get lot’s of the mistakes out early before the project starts.
  
• VR is cool, but it’s hard to look at a game with a clear lens whilst inside VR, because most things are “cooler” in VR, so testing loops on PC will ensure we have an enjoyable experience before going in.

We’re in the second week of our 4-week project developing a rhythm game in Unity, and this is kind of what we’ve looked like all week.

Overall progress is going good, and it’s been a blast so far!

Before I go, here’s a photo of my partners in crime @nicholasbarnett and Eduardo!

Yes! you heard me correctly! Very soon I will be delving into my first attempt at developing for VR! I’m finally going to go in and get my hands dirty, and try not to fail too hard whilst I’m at it.

In preparation for it all, I’ve started working on a (PC, mouse-driven) prototype that displays the most basic function of the game I’ve got planned. 

So without further ado~

I hope you’re all as excited for this as I am!

More soon!

My prototype’s main intention is to practise and study the balance in a game’s economy. I’m going to add options to be able to modify some specific stats that will affect the difficulty curve, in hopes that other users will be able to test balancing the prototype also!

More soon;
