Re-Evaluation of AR game: Balloon Popper
Today I built the AR game and was playing with it on my phone. Playing and re-playing my game made me reevaluate some aspects of the game. The most important part that I would change is the setup of the pause button – this is something that hadn’t occurred to me while creating the project …
Emoji feedback in the enchanted forest
The fact that the player does not have a 2D map to have an idea of where they are headed might be confusing. The player might spend hours trying to figure out where the chest is to open it and they might be doing circles for hours. That is why I decided to give some …
3 types of audio in the enchanted forest
For the CVRPP I am adding 3 types of different audio in the experience. The first one is a soundtrack that will play as soon as the experience begins. The soundtrack will be on loop throughout the experience and on lower volume so that it does not disturb the rest of the sounds playing on …

The first one is located in Morty’s house, it is night time and the general mood is depression and frustration. The second act is located …

Voiceover in CVRPP VR experience
One constructive feedback I had after the final critique was to add a voiceover in the experience for a couple of reasons. As mentioned in a previous post the whole game is a journey of engagement and understanding of the Queer community. The whole environment design has objects and assets that are symbolic and it …
