Exploring Strange Planet - SciFi - VR - Unreal Engine - Game Development - pt 28

Couple of years old game devepment test video from a science fiction exploration and colonization Virtual Reality game. This is part of a longer "gameplay" from a demo we published as a taster. Player could explore the area and find some logs, which could reveal what had happened. Otherwise, most of the game mechanics are missing, like establishing and building a colony, managing your colony etc.

This was interesting time because VR development was quite new, and I had to design and program all movement, interactions and game mechanics from scratch, although my main interest was the overall game design, Artificial Intelligence systems for NPCs, colony procedures, robots, dynamic ecosystem etc. It had dynamically changing day and night cycle, though.

However, I liked it how you could use imagination to create movement mechanics for jumping, flying and for interactions and supernatural skills like telekinesis. For my personal amusement only I made some Jedi skills and light sabers.

This is crude WIP quality, there are lots of place holders, unfinished assets and mechanics, and bugs, of course.
