Hey its me Joe… the art guy……….
So a VR archery game….. yea, lets do this.
I think all the VR archery games found inspiration from The Lab Longbow demo. Years ago I shot competitively in archery tournaments and when I played that Steam demo I was hooked. I played just about all the VR archery games that were available and the only thing I could think while playing them is “this could be really cool”… So about 3 weeks ago I told Devin (code guy) about a rough VR game idea I had. Its an archery game with a few new different elements from whats available in any other game. Devin is not the biggest fan of VR so he told me to mock up a few levels and he would think about coding it so we could get this project off the ground.
I roughed out a few levels using some pre-made assets and some art I created. I added a logo and some music for effect and after a week or so I had enough to throw together a bare bones demo for Devin. He watched it, made some comments and off we went making out first VR game. So solid week into this now we have a working menu system with the touch/vive controllers, a couple of maps that look better than anything thats out there and we are making good progress. After brainstorming and pushing some polygons around we came up with a few original ideas. Devin had the thought of moving shooting platforms…. so we have mocked up and are planning on developing a river ride type map, a cave map with ore cars and a few others. I’m happy with the progress made in only a week, maybe we can keep this momentum. Stay tuned.
