Thanks Mr. Shrimp, much appreciate the feedback. I really enjoyed making this and I’ve enjoying doing a Jam again (although it can be intense!)
Going mixed reality was a bit of a gamble to be honest, it never screenshots well and it does put people off. I know a lot of MR experiences never feel real and it’s all still a ‘bit of a novelty’. However, I think that’s mainly because MR is usually a last minute bolt-on to most games and due to the limitations, the virtual objects never look real enough to be convincing so breaks the whole experience.
Underneath all that I do feel that the MR tech is capable of so much more than we’ve seen so far and it can be pushed further… and I hoped to demonstrate that with Camp Panic
Like others on the Jam time was tight, I only had about.4 days free to put it together (hence the non-animating mosquitos, crappy camp fire etc) but I did use my MR base framework I’ve been building for a while and built the content on top.
Looks like everyone wants the smack the robot - lol! I didn’t even think of that, so I’ll probably make an update with that in, just for a laugh. I did like how that whole robot character worked out in MR, so he’ll probably make an appearance in something in the future.
Thanks for hosting the Jam and getting the whole VR crew onboard - it’s been ages since there’s been a proper VR jam! Hope to see you for the Halloween Jam, but time is going to be tight (again!).
