With the Faeries

You find yourself stood in the center of a faerie ring which pulses softly with light. Before you are three standing stone. A lone harp can be heard on the wind.

The Concept

I took inspiration from folk lore to create an ethereal yet calm and peaceful environment. The original plan was to have a larger area with a more realistic design. However, in order to work as a mobile app for the Samsung Gear VR headset, the quality had to be reduced.

The Process

As I had never create a VR game prior to this, I started by creating a series smaller environments in which to test the various individual elements that would become the final product. These main elements were:

• Movement - Needed to be smooth to reduce the possibilty of motion sickness

• Raycasting - Interaction needed to be simple and clear for a limited control scheme

• Events - Different elements and instruments would be added to the environment depending on which triggers were active
