Oh Walk the line experience
Oh! Walk the line is a VR experience in which the player has to get from one apartment to another, bring a juice box and return back without dropping the box or falling from the thin line he walks on.
This project was initially supposed to be developed with Unity3d game engine. However, back then, the HTC vive plugin for unity was not optimized enough and just putting two buildings on the scene would create a lag and aliasing.
Luckily, at the time, UE4 just went free. I suggested it as a substitute to Unity. We put the same buildings and it worked like a charm. I have learnt UE4 and completed the project within the deadline.
Mission:
-Learn UE4 (scripting and Blueprints)
-Pass along what have I learnt to the rest of the team (developers and artists)
-Create the gameplay
Technologies:
UE4 :Blueprints, C++
HTC Vive
