Poltergeist Bootcamp

admin — Sat, 08 Jun 2019 10:43:00 +0000

Poltergeist Bootcamp is a Multiplayer VR Arcade-style game, in which two players battle it out in making a giant mess in a 50s-styled kitchen. Your character is about 15cm tall, which gives a really interesting perspective in VR. The game is focused around fast-paced minigames, in which the players have to rapidly switch between finding objects, carrying them to target locations, and causing mayhem in the kitchen.

The game was developed as a semester project in the course “Prototyping” during my master’s studies. My main role in the project was creating the VR Multiplayer architecture from scratch, for which I used a node.js server and WebSockets. I was also partially responsible for the sound design.

Fall of Hades is a Prototype for a VR Puzzle/Room Escape game, which I developed as a semester project during my master’s studies. It is a demo loop of the first level of the game, which is available for Oculus Go and Samsung Gear VR.

You play as an explorer trying to find a way to enter the Underworld, in order to bring back his deceased wife. You tread on the paths of ancient heroes like Hercules, as you attempt to find the hidden keys, which will open a passage into the underworld.

My Little Planet VR

This virtual reality game was created during the Global Game Jam 2019. As a team of four, we set out to create an immersive VR game in only 48 hours.

The topic of the 2019 Global Game Jam was “What home means to you” and we created a cute game, where you are the caretaker spirit of a little planet and its inhabitants.
