Blog – Week 9

This week was the week of Halves presentations for ETC SV! FeelsBot spent much of the beginning of the week working on their Halves demo and presentations. To see an early version of the demo (And Ross’ sweet dance moves) check out this video!

Also, here is a link to our Halves presentation!

After getting plenty of feedback at Halves from our demo, FeelsBot began a new sprint. This includes creating some juicier sound effects and interactions, finishing up some key models, creating the level layouts for 1970 and 1977, and creating a more robust infrastructure so our experience can be more easily changed based in playtest feedback. We also began discussing how we can make sure that the user is more engaged with the story since it seems most players seem to be a bit distracted by VR, meaning they are more excited about throwing things around and grabbing everything rather than being engaged with the dialogue. In order to counter this, we hope to make interactions more meaningful by adding small puzzles which will hopefully teach the player to be more deliberate with their actions.
