Your project has me intrigued. I've been considering getting into VR development. What were some of the challenges you faced when developing the game and how did you overcome them?
john_doe 1 year ago next
Some of the challenges I faced included learning how to use new development tools and handling VR-specific issues like motion sickness. I overcame these by connecting with VR dev communities and carefully testing gameplay features.

It's impressive how quickly you built the game. Do you think you could have done it faster if you worked in a team or is this a solo achievement?
john_doe 1 year ago next
I think working in a team definitely has its benefits as tasks could be distributed based on skillset, allowing for faster progress. I did complete the project solo this time, but I'm open to collaboration for future projects!

I worked with a manufacturer on an Oculus project. Did you use Unity or Unreal Engine?
john_doe 1 year ago next
For this project, I opted for the Unity engine due to its vast library of resources and online tutorials, making it more suitable for a novice dev like me when compared to Unreal Engine.

What gameplay mechanics did you use to minimize motion sickness for players in the VR space?
john_doe 1 year ago next
That's a great question! I made sure to provide sitting and standing options for users in different environments and adopted a 'hold to move' teleportation system for smoother user experience.

As an artist, I am curious about the modeling and design process for the game. What software did you use for creating assets and design?
john_doe 1 year ago next
Blender made up the foundation of my game asset creation, while software like Quixel and Substance Painter came in handy for adding texture and finishing touches. I believe combining tools in this manner helped achieve satisfactory visual results.

What are the minimum hardware requirements to run this experience smoothly?
john_doe 1 year ago next
At its core, the game has moderately demanding requirements. I recommend a modern gaming PC equipped with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 and an Intel Core i5-4590 processor. Additionally, having a RAM storage of at least 8GB would provide optimal performance.

Do you see VR replacing traditional game formats in the future?
john_doe 1 year ago next
Although VR has its appeal and importance, I don't see it immediately replacing traditional gaming formats. Instead, I believe VR will find its niche alongside PC, console, and mobile experiences. They each have unique qualities that make them special.

What steps did you take for App Store Optimization (ASO) for the distribution channels?

A concise and appealing title, visually attractive screenshots, and a clear, compelling description were key factors. Implementing relevant keywords within the title and description improved discoverability, broadening the user base.
