[WEEK 1] Introducing our project...

Our goal is to make a cool VR game for Design Studio 3. The main idea involves a collaborative asymmetrical experience to build furniture virtually. There will be two roles in this game: a finder (to look for furniture pieces in the warehouse), and a builder (putting the parts together).

 We started this project on January 22, 2020 and are currently on our first 1 week sprint of development.

Controllers and Game-state Management

The two issues I worked on this past week were getting game-pad controllers working with our project (~6 hours), and general work on the game-state systems to iron out some of the kinks and add some more functionality (~3-4 hours).  Unfortunately neither of these tasks proved 100% successful due to some set backs. The game-pad controllers are so close to working, movement and look controls are fully functional, but I cannot get the Super Hands components to pick up the button events from aframe-extras.  The easiest way to see this is by looking at some code: <!-- Camera --> <a -entity id= "rig" movement-controls position= "0 0 0" > <a -entity id= "camera" camera wasd-controls= "acceleration: 125" look-controls= "pointerLockEnabled:true" position= "0 1.6 0" capture-mouse st...

Sprint 4 - Alpha Presentation and Furniture

This week, the team presented our proposal for our project as well as demonstrated the alpha build. In its current state, the living room and warehouse environments are at their most primitive states and will be developed further over time. In future plans, I will have to redesign the living room to allocate more space to the user. It's currently too small and claustrophobic, which makes it difficult for a VR user to have enough building space. I spent the days prior to the presentation polishing the design comps then producing OBJ files of the environments to insert into A-Frame. I did this by going back and forth between a-frame and Maya and resizing the scene until it was the ideal size. This way, Mitchell is able to simply drag and drop the obj into the project without having to tweak the transformations (~5hrs).
