Chapter 0: Inside the Ship: The Chieftain’s Briefing

Each player starts inside the orc ship. You, as the future chieftain, receive some information about the orcs and the basic interactions within Orcs Up! VR.


Design Goals:

  • Immersion and Role Introduction
    Placing the player into the role of their chieftain in a celebrational and uplifting way.
  • Narrative Context
    Giving narrative context about the character and motivation of the orcs in a calm environment.
  • Teaching Basic Interactions
    Introducing the fundamental mechanics in a seamless manner.


Working on shaders and the core game mechanic

I carved some sand details into the ground. Added a blob shadow for the palm.
The shield and axe now uses the metalic and smoothness property of its shader.
The shader for the palm, ship and the player has now more emissive power.
The UI for chopping has its first draft but Sebastian Irmer makes us some nicer wooden board soon. Chopping levels up a multiplier on the base weapon damage on the tree.
