It seems the only time I have for personal (or non-confidential) VR projects is once a year at the Global Game Jam<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Anyway, this year we decided to create a VR realtime strategy game – I named that VRTS \ud83d\ude09 – like Starcraft or R.U.S.E.
\nIt is a networked game so you can play against a friend!<\/p>\n

Believe it or not,\u00c2\u00a0 everything including 3D models, textures, sounds and music were created in 48h!<\/p>\n[Except for the head of the player which is from the Unity asset store<\/a>]\n

Here is the result:<\/p>\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6XcPlVseIwg[\/youtube]\n

We had of course a lot more ideas to go deeper and add some surprises, but we only got 48h!
\nIt’s already a miracle we managed to finish a networked VR game with this level of quality in such a short time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It was carefully designed so that it could be used:
\n– with most good HMDs (Oculus Rift DK2, Playstation’s Morpheus, maybe Samsung’s GearVR with rendering optimizations),
\n– with any interaction device: wands like Razer Hydra, Sixense Stem, but also with “bare” hands with a glove, Leap Motion or a Kinect.<\/p>\n

It would also work on Technical Illusion’s CastAR<\/a> or Microsoft’s HoloLens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Depending on time and interest we may release a playable version, so let me know!<\/p>\n

And of course thanks to our amazing team:<\/p>\n
