First Gameplay Prototype

With the start of a new year, comes the start of a new game! I'm planning frequent updates when I add new features to the game, and I'll enable purchasing when I feel there is a solid playable game there, so please follow me for notifications on updates :) 

VR Vaders is a PC VR roomscale shoot em up. 

I'm aiming for a feel reminiscent of arcade games like Geometry Wars and Space Giraffe, but using your entire room as the play space. 

Like any good shoot em up, there are 2 aims, survive as long as you can, and rack up as high a score as possible in that time. 

This first gameplay prototype supports progressively harder waves of alien invader enemies who you can shoot with a 360 degree rotating laser beam cannon on your ship. 

There is an online high scoreboard, with a combo multiplier scoring system rewarding multiple hits in a row. 

I've also just started adding power ups. 

The Slowdown slows all invader activities down whilst leaving you at full speed to take them out!

The Nuke destroys invaders and bullets within range of it 

I must say this is a good project to get to understand Unity particle systems and shaders a bit better. My aim is to make the screen very busy with lights and effects in a similar way to Space Giraffe.
