Be their god, feel the world
My roles on the project:
- Game system designer
- Buildings crafting system, procedural requests system
- VR experience designer
- VR "toy" experience design and game feel
- Technical designer
- Influence areas implementation
The experience
Divunity is a VR god game where two players have to cooperate to make their people live together despite their tendency to fight. The focus is both on the communication/strategy aspect and the inherent pleasure to play with a VR toy.
Feature highlight: requests system
During the game, your people will ask you new buildings. It was my favorite feature to work on, as it included element of systems design, technical design, level design and narrative design:
- It had to reflect the evolution in the mentality of your own people (from hate to living together)
- Procedural requests, depending on the state of the game
- Evolution of the type of buildings asked by your people
- New specific requests appear (for example: destroy a wall now that we like each other.)
The setup
We presented the game at ENJMIN game show. It required two computers connected together through network. A third computer in front of the booth showed a spectator perspective for players waiting their turn.
