Ideas for Promotional Video

For the promotional video for my VR game, I have actually did one that looks like a gameplay trailer. Just a heads up, this video is not yet edited to be within 60-90 seconds. Link provided below:

Gameplay Promotional Video



After the consultation with my lecturer, Sweii, there are a few approach that I can take to promote my game. Of course the current one which I have are okay enough, but I can actually show a video of the player putting on the VR headset and immerse into the world of "Who Killed Teddy?". It would actually establish my video game as a virtual reality game. That is a very good idea, BUT I might not have time to execute it due to the need of an actor and a suitable environment to sell the video. It would look very low budget if we don't have those in the first place. Also that is more towards commercial, much like Skyrim VR, Batman : Arkham VR, and more. These are pretty high budget commercial(also require cinematography skills) which I would do it because it looks very interesting.

Links to both commercial: 

Batman Arkham VR - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X9JvUpX1UA
Skyrim VR - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg_vqd8zAhw


Batman: Arkham VR. Special Effects added to visualize the gamer got sucked into Batman's world.

Skyrim VR. Nice place, if only I live in one of these, heh.


In conclusion, I have decided to go with the gameplay trailer, but with some changes to the approach, I will need to get my voice actor back to record some new lines for this specific trailer. It will be half gameplay and half narration about the night when Teddy was killed, much like a prequel story. As for the VR establishment part, I would rely on text on screen to tell the audience that is is a VR game. 

This is one of the VR game trailer reference I found online:

Who Killed Teddy? Beta Test

Image
Today our class run a beta test to anyone around The One Academy. Since my VR game needed a huge space to setup, i won't be joining my classmates. Luckily my lecturer got an empty classroom for me to setup once I cleared all the tables and chairs. I get quite a lot of feedbacks from the users as they provide me the chance to improve on my VR game. Here is the list that I deemed priority to work on. Feedbacks: Ambient music too loud, covering the dialogues from the detective. Play area needs to be as spacious as the crime scene itself. The Start Game menu confused a lot of people as they don't know they are needed to go in front of the button and click it literally Item list needs to be interactive I will look into these matter in the coming weeks. Progress is good enough as people loves the experience.

Dead Pixel Origin and Art Direction Changes

So where did the name came from? It was back in 1867 when- I'm just kidding, in year 2012, a team of 5 CG artists which consist of Fong Kheng Wai, Cheng Weng Kee, Malini Wan, Yap Jian Leng and me of course created an animated short film called "Death in D Minor"  Poster that we designed for our short film. Here's the story of the short film: "No one escapes Death, but Jones will sure as heck try. Living in honour of his dead war buddy, Jones will brush the dust off his boom-stick and go tango with Death itself." It was our final project that we did together back then and we are quite proud of it. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZArjyYgTyU This animated short film is done for college final project by 5 students from The One Academy. As for the art direction, originally I am going for the outlined art style, much like the games point and click game developed by Telltale, but I have come to a problem wher...

User interface Implementation in VR World

Image
I finally figure out how to place the UI into the VR headset, but I've no idea if it's the right way to do it, hence I will leave it as it is first due to Beta Testing is coming next week. After fumbling around and experimenting on how to display the UI on the VR headset, I have come across this forum which provide me a clearer answer about it. Apparently the normal way to display the UI won't work in VR. Screenspace can only be used on monitor screen, and Spatial UI and World Space can be used on VR but I have yet to adjust it properly to fit on the perfect viewing distance for the player.
