  House of Da Vinci VR Review

  With clever mechanics and hands-on problem-solving, House of Da Vinci VR taps into what makes escape room–style games so compelling in VR. If there’s one game genre that fits into the virtual reality space better than any other, it’s the escape room-style puzzle game. There’s just something about standing in a room, poking around, pulling levers and sliding open hidden compartments with your own two hands that makes perfect sense in VR. Some of the best examples — I Expect You To Die, The Room VR, even Silent Slayer: Vault of the Vampire — prove just how well this formula works when the puzzles are clever and the interactions feel real. So, House of Da Vinci VR should, in theory, slide comfortably in alongside those games. And in a lot of ways, it does. The atmosphere is there. The interactivity is solid. The puzzle design has some smart moments. But it doesn’t quite hit the highs of the greats, and a few frustrating issues hold it back from being something truly special. Read more

  Devlog #3: How to design for VR

  Hello everyone! My name is Jan, and for many years I have been working as a game designer at Blue Brain Games, where my team and I strive to push the boundaries of our players’ gaming experience. I had a long-term desire to create a game in virtual reality, but the real breakthrough came when I got my hands on the original Oculus Quest 1. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45024627/971eb935342dbd2659be8029301c325695aa6c98.png This revolutionary piece of technology immediately captivated me with its ability to offer a wireless gaming experience as a truly standalone device. It was the beginning of an adventure that inspired me to delve into the world of VR and start experimenting with what this technology could achieve. For over a year, I spent my free time creating small technical demos, gaining valuable experience in this rapidly evolving field. When the day finally came and our team decided to create a VR game, it was clear that my previous experience and knowledge would be invaluable. Thanks to this preparation, I became the lead designer for The House of Da Vinci VR. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45024627/76cea97351d1120fabd5ba53659411e1fe4433fd.png Steps into the Unknown But the desire to create something in virtual reality was not the only motivation for us. We initially thought that since there was already a complete version of the game for traditional "flat" devices, the transition to VR would be quick and easy. However, as you might suspect, the reality was entirely different. The VR version ultimately became a full-fledged game that we had to create almost from scratch. But, let's go back to the beginning. We came up with several requirements based on our own VR gaming experiences. For example, interactive objects shouldn’t be too far apart nor too deep within the scene to allow the game to be played seated. We had to simplify some of the more complex puzzles because if a player couldn't solve the task quickly enough, they could become frustrated, and wearing the headset only magnif...
