Platformer in VR - Part 4

There were some obvious problems with my earlier progress with this project, so I had to take a step back before I could go on.

So I created a new scene, wiped all enemies from it, created a 15x15x15 grid, randomly filled it with blocks and dropped the player on top of it. We are progressing forward again, this might be something interesting…

Platformer in VR - Part 3

Managed to get some enemies into the game. Make sure to lean forward and look around corners to avoid surprise ambushes!

This is just a very first draft and needs a lot of work, but I really like how this is coming together.

Platformer in VR - Part 2

Note that for this demo I’ve disabled the VR camera

So, it was pretty obvious what the next step needed to be. Particles! I’m not really satisfied yet, but I haven’t spent a lot of time on it. It will have to do for now… I have also rotated the directional light so the shadow falls more right below the player, so you’ll better see where he’ll land when doing a jump.

Next up: Enemies!!

Platformer in VR - Part 1

This is how it looks through a VR Headset

I recently got to borrow an Oculus Rift DK2 from Resolution Games, and for a few couple of nights I’ve been playing around with an idea I had, that actually is starting to turn out pretty cool.

But it’s hard to get enough time with 2 months old twins that wants your attention =D
