Global Game Jam VR Postmortems

Five VR games were made at Gamecraft 2018 (our local site) for the 48-hour Global Game Jam. And, we’re doing postmortems on all 5! Come hear what went right, what went wrong, and see each project in action. Each one has rarely seen features:

 

CMYK puts the VR player on tall towers to act as a spotter for a second player using a gamepad and monitor.

Crosswired focuses on audio, as you play a galactic switchboard operator.

Entropee – Druids in Space makes the VR player a large tree, helping 4 players on traditional split-screen.

Ghost of a Chance makes you a ghost, trying to scare a computer controlled character out of their house.

Intergalactic Noodle Ninja features a tracked non-realistic body, tracked training sword, and no injuries yet.

Schedule:

6:30 Setup
7:00 Kickoff, Plug My Thing (verbal only this month)
7:15 Post-mortems, playtesting, and mingling
9:30 Wrap up, head upstairs to to Able Brewery

Parking, etc:

Park in the lot off of Quincy street. Enter the door marked Main Entry, we will let you in to the elevator. For a visual, check this PDF or this Street View. Please arrive before 7.
