Ali here, to bring you some information on one of my other side projects, namely Veritas Rugiens! Veritas Rugiens, or VeRu for short, is a Virtual Reality thriller game being made in Unreal Engine. It has been a real treat working on it, and I thought it would be nice to show some of it.
I'll briefly mention the two goals of this project:
In VeRu, the player wakes up in the sick bay of an abandoned space ship. They have to find a way off of the ship while figuring out why it was abandoned, and where its inhabitants went. The players does this by searching the ship's many rooms, and investigating clues. These clues can be the passengers' personal entries, research data, environmental storytelling, and audio logs. Each clue brings the player closer to the truth.
Recently, my priority has been making this game as comfortable as possible and combat motion sickness, allowing players to enjoy the story and the scenic views. As such, progress has been made in the following systems:
Most of my personal development time goes into Project: Bounty Squads, so I don't make as much time for VeRu as I would like. Every now and then, though, I manage to continue its development!
There is something oddly satisfying in making a thriller game in VR, so I will keep posting more about this project when it progresses. I hope you've enjoyed this short insight into the project.
Thanks for reading, and good bye!
