That’s Stephanies blog post!^

For the VR game making experience, Stephanie and Istruggled. Hard. We had an idea of what we wanted to make, a farm, but we kept having problems. At one point we had like 25 errors, for things we didnt know how to fix.

It took us almost an hour to figure out how to make something solid, we kept making a floor and then all the animals would fall through it cause we couldn’t do that coliding thing, and in the end we just switched computers and started over.

We found some cool assets for free of farm animals, as well as the standard assets, making it so that we have more than what we were shown in class. When we got this landscape set up, it was really really big, and so we started making everything really big, so now we have giant pigs and sheep, and then smaller chickens and trees.

For the longest time, we couldn’t find the colliding button, so that when you run near the house or animals, you wouldn’t run right through it. So I asked John while he was also here working on his project and he showed us how to add a component and we just made box colliding for everything that we didn’t want to run through.

Once we finished placing things in the game (including a car that also moves when the person moves????), we tried to export the game onto a USB and then play it, but somehow we got lucky enough to be working on a computer that had the Oculus plugged in and ready to use and when i clicked “Build and Run” it started playing and we just put it on and took a video.

In all, the whole thing wasn’t that hard, you just kinda have to know what you’re doing, and be willing to try over and over again to get something to work. We were expecting to be able to move things around more, and be able to climb stairs maybe, but that didn’t happen, and that’s okay. Not gonna lie, if i paid to play this game, I’d be mad, because the only things that happened while I played with the headset on was run into giant pigs and almost get hit by a car that no one was driving.
