Social Sandbox 13.10.2019

As Georgina is still working on refining the multiplayer connectivity, and from running past her my idea of converting the “build” scene to a range and getting positive feedback, I decided that I would try to ideate and implement another alternative game mode, that preferably would have oppositional game play mechanics to the escape room. Since players are being encouraged to work together in the escape room, I wanted the alternative game mode to encourage players to work against one another. The concept I came up with, through using rapid ideation and storyboarding techniques, was “Run and Gun”, where the VR players would need to run through to reach the end of an almost-obstacle-course-like map, while Android mobile players would be controlling drones and turrets in the scene in order to stop the VR players reaching their goal.
