The Uniqueness
There are two main functions in the game. One is mechanism guns mount on the player’s head, and the other is a force field shield (similar to Overwatch Reinhardt’s Shield) attached to the player’s controller.
Creating a unique game experience that can enhance by VR technology is one of our team goals.
Separating movements between hands and head is one of the uniqueness to leverage the VR system. In this case, the player’s weapon and shield can perform individually; unlike the traditional game, the direction of aiming is always the same as the direction of blocking.
The player can move and turn their head to aim and shoot in the direction. At the same time, the player can tilt and move the shield to block the enemy’s attack.
In addition, we designed the experience based on one of the VR uniqueness that is toying the objects with different sizes surrounding players and fighting against a colossal robot on the roof of a skyscraper. Those environmental settings gave the player a unique and unforgettable experience that is not available in traditional video games.
