Overview / Usage
Fast-paced action game where you take the role of an ex Doomsday Force operative left no choice but to save the world again. Insect Revolution is available for the Oculus Go, and very soon it will be out for the Oculus Rift and Steam.
Methodology / Approach
This game was designed in a cross-platform way from the start. We took a mobile-first approach, which means we always tested and optimized features for the Oculus Go first, and then on the desktop platform (using a Windows Mixed Reality and an Oculus Rift). The game detects on which platform it's on and adjust difficulty settings accordingly.
Some of the techniques we used in order to achieve a good framerate and performance included:
- baking lights and collisions
- combining materials
- using mobile materials
- removing real-time lights
- object pooling
- simplification of meshes and animations
- occlusion culling
- activating objects by zones
Technologies Used
- Unity
- VRTK was used to work with multiple headset platforms (Oculus Go/GearVR, Oculus Rift, SteamVR, Windows Mixed Reality)
- Hardware: i7 core laptops, various VR headsets
