Description

'Hover Racing' is a game that I am creating for the upcoming Dinge Animation Festival. My project was one of two projects selected too be shown in this years festival. The prompt the game had to follow was "An Phiast gets a Job". (Phiast is the film festivals mascot)

Have you ever dreamed about racing pod racers just like Anakin, Well now you can!

In this game, Playing as Phiast, you receive a Job as a pod racer pilot and are thrown right into the cockpit of machine capable of exceeding speeds of over 900kmh, You must navigate through caverns at break neck speeds in a death deifying race against the ghosts of the former racers. Are you qualified to take on the new task or will you crash and burn!

VR is still a head turner (Pun intended) when it comes to people coming across it at conventions. There is still a whole bunch of people who have never been able to give it a try who would be jumping at the opportunity to give it a shot. Besides that, the main reason to consider doing a VR game is to immerse the player even more. With a sit down game like this it is perfect for having VR not as a gimmick but to genuinely make the experience feel more immersive.

The lap times will be around 30s - 40s across 3 laps , meaning games should be able to be finished in less than 2 minutes. These times will all be saved to a leader board where people will battle it out all day for that top spot.
