This project was made for the XR23 Game Jam where the main theme was to create a game with elements of extended reality!
I had a varied team of different developers with different skills at the helm so helping and communicating ambitious ideas in the short time frame before our deadline was very engaging.
This was a bold idea to use both AR and VR to make a game experience in 3D and since I wasn't well versed in this medium I chose to take a risk that paid off! I used 3D cubic and voxel aesthetics to design the game world and the visuals were surprisingly well integrated considering the scope.
The AR section had you as the player overseeing the word in third person like a giant in the room you were physically in and the VR toggle on our special headset let you go into a first person view as a mole character! This ambitious idea worked well as a demonstration and was very interesting to see play out with voxel 3D assets of my design!
To this day this projects scope and use of multiple mediums i one single playable experience proves to be one of the most interesting 3D Augmented and Virtual reality concepts I've produced and shared in a game jam.
