space bar
a wacky VR multiplayer co-op game for HTC Vive in Unity about bartending in outer space
exhibited during the ETC Festival 2018
a 2-player co-op game
player 1 handles solids and player 2 handles liquids. fill as many drink orders as possible during your shift.
designed VR-specific procedural animation
the slug-like alien player body would follow the position of the head in a natural way that mimics the movement of a snail or slug.
scripted procedural models and animation suited to the alien-like theme
procedurally rigging and animating tentacle movement, and procedurally generating anemone-like light fixtures for the environment.
physical design
black lights and neon fixtures. The play area is behind a bar counter made of cardboard and trash bags...
layout of the space. we added an order counter so that guests waiting in line would be able to place orders in the live game.
