Challenges we ran into

We had some internet connectivity issues and found its hard to collaborate when the machine that runs the VR game, can't connect to the asset store, or other members of the team. This is why everyone should carry a flash drive in your computer bag!

Once our interactions were implemented, we tried to find a way to give players a goal so it felt more like a game, and less like a simulation.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built the AI for the creatures to walk around the world.

Created dynamic texture colors for the planet.

What we learned

How to implement wander AI on a sphere.

How to use audio mixers.
