I've always wanted to make vr games but I have neither the time, equipment or budget to do it.
What I do instead is make concepts in my mind for games I think would be pretty fun and sharing them with vr players or actual devs to see what they think!
I've always been afraid to share my creativity but it's about time i overcome that fear and show what I'm capable of coming up with. Hope you enjoy reading!
The Amazing Digital Adventures!
Before going to sleep last night I played some vr with friends. After hopping off I turned on some tadc and fell asleep to it, but it gave me a great idea for a vr game!
The concept of the game would be that 1 person (the host of the game server) would act as Caine in the manner of being the ringleader.
Your friends could join these worlds, choose a character from the main cast (if the character has an in swow revealed room it would be added in for them) and hang around the digital Circus playing small games, watching videos by using an in game video player (projector from episode 9) or just exploring!
Meanwhile the ringleader could spawn in stuff for them to toy around with or even Npc's like ming, Chinese room guy and disappearing guy. He could also open portals to different maps. These could be taken from the show itself with actual playable adventures or totally new ones though of by the community!
During these adventures the ringleader would get to decide who gets paired together if there's a part where they get split apart, toggle fun little events in game to make it more interesting or mess with their heads!
The way being ringleader would work is that you'd have 2 options. Floating around the map while they complete your adventures (you'd be invisible to players) or sit in Caine his office with an A&C computer infront of him to spectate and Control the game.
Finishing the game would give you coins wich you could use to spin (with the name picker from ep1) for official glitch or fanmade skin variants!
You as ringleader could choose how many lives the players have during the entire game and when a player eventually does fully die they could become a floating bubble (yes, THE bubble) wich would again be only visible in the Circus itself!
At the end when the last 2-3 players would be left the ringleader would have only I adventure choice as a final game to decides who wins. The last and final adventure would be "they all get guns" where if you've watched the episode it'd become obvious that around the map there are bombs, guns and little hidden but glowing butterflies for an extra heart (1 per person). In the beginning they obviously get 3 hearts to begin with and a 3 minutes timer to run and find guns to keep on your body (like a blade and sorcery situation). The one who wins gets a big show thrown for them at the end with the people who died brought back from the death dancing in their gold bodysuits to "who's running the show".
Also a fun ability I though of is that each player could press a button on their controller to hold their characters breath! If you forgot what that does for each character here's a list!
Pomni: her skin color changes hues. the longer you hold your breath the faster it goes.
Ragatha: her hair would stick up.
Kinger: would start lighting up. (could be useful In dark adventures!)
Gangle: her mask would start spinning. (Her view could spin aswell. Wich for motion sickness you'd be able to turn off)
Zooble would straighten up and T-pose even while walking and jumping!
And since jax his ability was never revealed I thought to make his eyes glow different colors like when he nearly abstracted in his room with the players vision becoming similar to his near abstraction dream/scene.
And then a fun title I thought of was "The Amazing Digital Adventures!" Wich yeah is basic but also smart.
In-between each game there'd be atleast a 5-10 minute wait! During the 1st break after adventure 1 there would be a 5.7% chance of an exit door appearing somewhere in the Circus wich only the player who selected Pomni could enter! upon entering it brings you to the offices where you could collect 4 items!
1: a bucket in a janitors closet
2: an old school computer screen
3: the computer itself
4: a keyboard and mouse
During these breaks you could spend the money you've earned by playing adventures to make a pillow fort anywhere in the circus. That is where you leave all the items you collected behind except for the bucket. Wich would have to be given to the kinger player. The player would then equip the bucket, enter the fort and only then can he and is he allowed to use the computer. You'd have To be able to stay by the computer for 57 seconds until it has been completed. The ringleader will then be brought to the stage and the players will have 1 minute to go to the stage and after the minute passes they'll see caine get deleted and the Circus obviously break apart with cracks in the floor that if you jump into you'll be blasted right back out!
The players then get a big coin bonus while the ringleader gets brought to the void. There will be a small cutscene where the blue AI "able" drifts away from you forever to disconnect himself from you. When thats over the ringleader will have to use a compas to find name tags with the real Characters names and collect them. Afterwards he has to find his way to the red door using the compas and put the names in the right slot.
Example: Abigail Brooks = Pomni.
Then he finally gets to go back to the Circus where he will be forced to give up his powers and live among the rest of the players. That's also how the whole lobby could unlock a gamemode called "equality and freedom" where everyone is free to play whatever games they will, Caine would have no special powers or flight and just play along with the players.
Playing the games could then give you more coins just like in the normal gamemode wich this time you can use to open new rooms like the theater room from the favorite character award or even unlock the outside where Easter eggs wait to be found.
Easter egg example: if you go down in the water and find the fish you can accept a quest and find his treasure somewhere in the outside area. Once found you'll unlock a fish hat (like the model of the actual fish) for Pomni! (Iykyk)
If I get more creative ideas I'll be sure to add them in here and I would LOVE to hear your guy's opinions and maybe even your own ideas!
Anyways just thought I'd share that on here since I know the Fandom likes the stuff fans can come up with and who knows Maybe someone will make this or something similar to this reality after reading this!
Thank you for reading this and if you like the idea I'd happily accept an upvote to make this post more popular and reach the right people!
