[Project][VR] a little fire
I wanted to share what I've been working on.
My first game, its called 'a little fire' - a survival game for wussies.
Its been many many sleepless nights - I have a day job.
Make a little fire...
Survive the night.
Being the wuss that I am I have had to make my own 'horror/survival' game. Feedback has been great, and players tend to come back for more rounds.
[Me making a little fire]
Make a little fire, survive the night.
Currently working on multiplayer issues before fleshing out the environment some more and working on some animations.
MR capture and editing in my green room also needs to happen.
Also need to get around to making a soundtrack.
Too little time to do alles, but I am slowly making progress.

Killing the birds doesn't seem to be necessary? Though I think it's a clever way to get the hunting part of a survival experience to the player (who is stuck in one spot).
As it is, it seems like a cool toy. The killing of birds is a cool little interaction, and there were an actual reason to do it it would add to the experience :)
VR presents some interesting problems.
You have a limited play-space.
Incorrect movement will cause motion sickness.
I've been wanting to see how far I can get without resorting to my trusty teleportation methods I use in my Architecture apps.
A nice little feature is that each person's camp site is a little different and is based on your actual VR play space that you set up when buying a Vive - same for multiplayer.
Killing the birds is not necessary, but with each wave of main enemies more and more bats/birds spawn and the sky becomes darker and louder with the screams of the bats/birds.
They do spawn some goodies and increase difficulty multipliers, marshmallows and some others.
I think it needs a story and to bring things full circle. Night ends another day begins.
loads of ideas - put something in fire, break it, put together with something else - blowgun
fishing rod to get things outside your play area perhaps.
Some MR gameplay. Having some issues with input when recording.
Could a food mechanic be introduced? A lot of survival games have a hunger bar, and the birds could serve as food. Roasting chickens could be fun (and maybe roast chickens could be used to lure baddies away).
Anyway, I guess I'm saying shooting animals out the sky seems cool, but I expect as a player I'd want some sort of reward for doing it (or expect some sort of penalty for not doing it).
Glad that Vive helped you. It looks like you're onto something awesome!
Nice work. :)
Marshmellows need some work. Fire draws the penguins and on fire marshmellows or arrow marshmellows can also redirect threats.
the bats are currently just a placeholder reward system, but your ideas are putting things together.
hahaha. perfect
