The Hero's Guild is a VR game focused on dynamic asset loading and narrative-driven design, overcoming the hardware limitations of standalone VR headsets by using cloud-based asset storage and API integration. The game adapts its world and quests based on player decisions, creating a personalized and evolving experience.

The meshes, lights and the fog are rendered using a custom shader. There is also a geometry shader that is used to show the explosion effect of the car when it hits any obstacles in its path. There is also a TV that displays the whole race, which is done with the help of Frame Buffer Objects. The whole game is completely customizable and is a solid foundation to build upon.

Inside ADHD: A Journey of Understanding

Unity VR Diegetic Interfaces

Inside ADHD is a VR experience that aims to immerse users in the daily life of an individual living with ADHD. The protagonist’s environment is filled with objects that reflect their life and challenges. The player's phone plays a major role on providing updates on what is going on. It is one of the Diegetic Interfaces where you can get calls specifying the tasks to remember, and it also contains the path to get to your objective. For a personal touch, I found it interesting to add a game that the player can play on their phone. The challenging part was rendering what the player is currently looking at, turning it into a video and playing it on the screen on loop. This symbolizes that although the environment has changed, the player cannot stop thinking about it. The whole virtual world is built to react to the user’s actions and progresses the narrative based on their interactions.
