GAME PLAY

MY TASK
In this hybrid project where you had to combine the physical world to the digital one I had the task to be the designer in the team. I was responsible for all of the design choices and how to connect the two worlds. I mainly focused on the level design, which was a big part in this project, and the story/game play element.
PROCESS
In the beginning I though of the game loop and quickly found that searching symbols would be the most interesting activity in a divers suit. Then I made level block outs to test the level designs I had made and did research on which one would fit the game play the most. Towards the end I also created a narrative to help the player understand the world and give them a reason to play.
RESULT
The end result was a VR experience where we had taken a huge area where the player could walk around in without hitting anything while playing the game. The map in VR was exactly the same size as the area in real life as you walked around at the bottom of the sea in a diving suit. The weight added to you and the ability to walk around in real life added a high amount of immersion which made you feel like you were really in a divers suit underwater.
