As my first post, I thought it would be a good idea to note down some thoughts and initial ideas for what I want to create for the module.
I think creating a virtual reality (VR) project on the HTC Vive. This could bring some interesting challenges and as a new medium has more space for innovation.
The following is some notes for potential ideas;
Fast Paced VR Shooter
One idea iv had is to create a VR shooter designed to be as fast-paced as possible, giving the player a power rush. Similar to games like SuperHot VR (2016) or Gorn (2017). The player could move by killing an enemy which then teleports them to the enemies position making the player have to think about the enemies they kill and in what order in order to move through the level.
Horror Action Game
Another idea I had is a VR game where you must travel through an environment reaching objectives whilst avoiding a monster (possibly controlled by another player (not in VR)). Similar to games like Alien Isolation(2014). This game would have to be slow paced and atmospheric to get the desired effect.
Physics Based
A game centred around manipulating the environment through telekinesis. Perhaps used in conjunction with the Fast Paced VR Shooter idea
RGB Light Puzzle Game
A game where the player is equipped with a torch that casts red, green or blue light. All objects in the world are either red green or blue but by casting the relevant light onto the object causes it to disappear. This would be used to create interesting puzzles
