10:10 Milestone 2 – VR World to Explore

Create an enclosed world to explore in VR. It could be an island, a moon base, but it has to be enclosed, we are trapped. In the image of Myst above, we can’t “walk on the water” and leave. Either through cliffs, walls, water, etc – make it obvious to the user that they shouldn’t be going that way, and setup in Unreal Engine that you can’t go that way.

No gameplay mechanics needed beyond exploration.
Have fire used somewhere, and include a sound of that fire that we only hear when near that fire – look for attenuation settings on the fire.
Have at least one other design element that is animated in your scene.
This is going to require teamwork, management, and work in different disciplines. What does your team need?
Concept Artists / Project kickoff lead. Someone that organizes the team, creates the concept art, etc. The project management could be the next role as well.
Project manager? Keep everyone on track and touch base frequently.
Main world builder in Unreal? This person is more about putting the Legos together and setting up VR.
Artists that are building the induvial assets in Blender to go into the world. These people are building the assets that the world builder is putting together. Building the individual Legos. Make sure to use humans for scale reference!
Figure how how to record with OBS at a decent frame rate. You will be turning in videos that demonstrate what you see in VR, as your deliverables.
Make sure you can record game audio – so we can record the sound of the fire!
