Futuristic VR racing game playable with Google Cardboard.
This prototype game were made in December 2015, for a 48 hour gamejam event in Viborg, Denmark.
The gameplay is simple:
- You have to avoid the edges and obstacles.
- The game speed increases automaticly when you race the track.
- If you die, you will restart at the beginning of the game.
The game project is made in Unity3D (now updated to version 2019.4.0f1) for Google Cardboard and can be played on Android devices, with a Bluetooth controller in your hands.
When we made the game back in 2015, we used a Samsung S7 phone, a VR kit made of cardboard and rubberbands, and a cheap gamepad from China, connected to the phone using Bluetooth.
All graphics were made by Nikki Starostka, and I (Kasper Færch Mikkelsen) did the programming and most of the scene setup. None of the audio files were made by us, but kindly borrowed from other games.
We got inspired by Star Wars podracer and the Wipeout games for Playstation, when we made this game.
- As you can see there is a lot of unused code in this Unity project. The only excuse is.. well.. we had 48 hours in total to come up with a cool game idea, then make and test the game. So we had to borrow code from around the interwebz too.
- The "VRBoys" tag, were our team name for the gamejam ;-)
