Chesstor: A Virtual Reality Game

In my spring semester of my sophomore year, I worked on a project for a class called Problem Solving through XR, where for my final project, I collaborated with two other students to create a virtual reality game called Chesstor.

Concept

What's the game about?

Chesstor is a virtual reality game without much logic. You move around a 3D maze and avoid the enemy, who are enlarged chess pieces. You have a gun, and the goal is to reach the end of the maze.

The game was created in Unity, and we used the Meta Quest 3 to test it. The game was created over the course of a month, and we had to learn how to use the Meta Quest 3 and Unity's Meta Quest SDK to create the game.

Development

Process

Upon receiving our assignment, we decided to make a game that was simple enough, but still fun in VR. My partner Blaise, took the lead on modeling, and William took the lead on some of the design, and I took the lead on the game creation process.

Working with Unity was a new experience for me, and one that was rather frustrating towards the beginning. However, I began to learn how to use the Meta Quest 3 and Unity's Meta Quest SDK to create the game, and over the course of a couple weeks, I was able to put together a map with textures.

Once I got that down, it was about adding the game conditions, including the enemies, the timer, and the shooting system. This was the most challenging part of the game.

Final Result

And now, it's time!
