Description

Project Chimaera is the codename of our attempt to properly build a virtual reality space simulator game. Players will take their captial ship around the universe on various missions, piloting one of several fighter ships with various stats against enemies throughout the universe. Players will need to manage their energy between their weapons, shields, and engines, all while actually handling the controls on their fighter ships, providing a deep sense of immersion!

History

Virtual reality offers a chance for anyone to pilot a space ship using natural controls. Many existing space simulators do not make use of the motion controls available to players in VR however, so we set out to build a game that does! Our goal is to bring the experiences of space sims of the 90s to modern day virtual reality. As a result, our focus is on a combination of the story, controls, and a new level of immersion not previously possible.

Features

• Pilot one of several ships with immersive, hands-on controls.
• Don't just push buttons on a controller, actually grab the joystick and pilot!
• Menus don't just float in front of you, you can actually interact with the world around!
• A story designed to showcase the power of immersion in virtual reality.
