We spent time asking the question: “How is first generation VR succeeding, and where is it falling short?” As a small team with a small budget, it was important for us to determine early where we would place our creative bets. This was our first experience in room scale VR and everyone was very excited about the creative space and potential.

I had a Vive rig at home so the team got together over beers and we looked at some of the initial releases titles like The Blu, Job Simulator and Valve’s The Lab. As the Creative Director of the team, I've always felt it’s important to fuse learning new things (keeping your knife sharp) with a story or creative context the team is excited about (the wrapper). VR was a strong talking point across the industry as so little was known about it, so it seemed like a good direction as there was no doubt the team could learn a lot by working in such a new medium. When we first started the IP discovery process here at Aspyr we didn’t have a specific title in mind to build. We chat with Neill Glancy, Creative Director for Torn, to discover what it took to bring a VR title from its early brainstorming sessions to shipping its final code.Ĭan you give us some background on Torn and how the project came about? All the while, the player is pulled deeper into the rich narrative and story building that Aspyr has worked so diligently to create.Įncountering problems that traditional development may never have to think of, Aspyr leaned on Unreal Engine 4 as it endeavored to truly make a mark in the VR landscape. A narrative puzzle game by design, the player will bring the mansion to life while reactivating the scientist’s many mysterious machines. One such title is Aspyr’s Torn, releasing August 28 for PSVR, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive.Ī dark science fiction mystery inspired by television shows like The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror, Torn offers a journey into the world of an eccentric inventor/scientist and the spooky mansion he left behind after going missing 64 years ago.

While a large number of VR titles merely manage to demonstrate the basic capabilities of the medium, a select few are pushing the boundaries and breaking past barriers to showcase what’s possible. 저자: Shawn Petraschuk If you’ve spent any time with a virtual reality headset on, you likely know that VR experiences come in many forms with varying degrees of depth and quality.
