VR Dev Blog 2 (Week 3)

2022-05-28

During the first 2 week of exploring VR games we come to the conclusion that we wanted to make a hack and slash game where the player could feel like an over powered badass.

Kunal has been a Dungeon Master(DM) in Dungeons and Dragons(DnD) for a long time so he said he would step aside and let me take over the story for the game while he looks more into the combat and gameplay. During my Batchelors I have made small prototypes but never had the opportunity to go in-depth with world building and narrative. as a DnD player myself I have always come up with a characters backstory and handed it in to the DM to propel my characters story forward. This would be the first time I will narrate the characters journey. Aside from narration I was also going to be in charge of environmental story telling. I have played a great many number of games with environmental story telling but this was the first I was going to develop.

I started replaying games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice to pay attention how they do environmental story telling. I also went over the feedback I got in my project for Narrative and Play from last semester.
