Design Challenges
the size and scale of space:
PROBLEM:
For most of the team members it was our first time using HTC Vive as a development platform. Our first major challenge was to figure out the size and scale of the kid’s bedroom in the Vive space.
SOLUTION:
We started prototyping the space and the player’s height in the space. Quick iteration and playtesting over the first two days gave us a good space where a lot of our players wanted to spend a lot of time.
STory didn’t make sense:
PROBLEM:
In our initial story idea the player was a parent that hid the monsters rather than getting rid of them.
SOLUTION:
Brainstorming different types of characters and not being afraid to venture into the crazy.
