In the new update v0.5, I’ve added a new map: Snowy Temple to the game. I’ve also fixed the bug where weapon switching is not working on the Quest version. The Quest version requires another input binding (thumbstick instead of joystick). The health and score UI was also bugged in v0.4 and it’s fixed now …
In the new update v0.4, I’ve added two new weapons to the game. Bounce: The projectile will bounce to nearby enemies several times. Pierce: The projectile will deal huge damage to the first target hit, and minor damage to enemies behind it. I’ve also spent hours to get the input from the oculus left menu …
Finally I’ve added tutorial to the game. Basically I’m demonstrating the controls for the game using Oculus touch controller models and animated characters. As seen in the video above, the relevant buttons on the touch controller will be highlighted in bright green, along side with the characters making relevant movements. There’s also some texts to …
So I’ve done quite a lot since last devlog, but I didn’t have the time to properly write a devlog, due to my day job and also LD49 game jam (check out the devlog for it). So first of all, I’ve added score system, which I think is essential (not sure why I left the …
It’s been a busy week, so I don’t have a lot of progress made in the past few days. I’ve added a smoother transition between scene by fading in and out the bgm and also the visual. I used the Visual Effect graph to achieve a cool effect where the player is being wrapped by …
In the past few days I’ve made a lot of progress to the game. First of all, sound design, I’ve added BGM to the game. Every scene has a different BGM. I’ve also added more SFX like grunt and footsteps. The latter is quite important for the game, as it’s very often that an enemy …

It’s kinda weird that the combat system isn’t completed yet at this point, I should have done this earlier, at least before spending time on audio and FX. So the combat system was only partly implemented, the player could throw the shuriken and damage the enemy, but that’s all about it. The enemies would play …

In ShurikenVR, the levels are meant to be played in a specific area, as the environment outside of that area is not properly populated, as seen below. So to prevent the player from leaving the designated play area, boundaries are set at the edges of it. This is done by placing a box collider which …
In the past few days I’ve been working on polishing the throw mechanic. Here some modification I’ve made to it: To summon the shuriken into the hand, hold grip button. After a short delay, the shuriken is fully summoned. The aim laser will appear and player can now aim at the target. To lock the …

I’m demotivated. ShurikenVR wasn’t meant to be a complex game where I spend months on it. In the beginning, I had a lot other cool VR game idea (like TDTD and Haki), with fancy mechanic or interesting gameplay I’m really excited to implement. However, I know that I’m still inexperience and very new to game …
