WHAT IS THIS PROJECT?
Mindbreaker is a VR tech demo game I developed alongside my other projects over the course of 3 months. I was fascinated with the potential of virtual reality, and wanted to make a game that combined the realistic physics interactions from BONEWORKS, with the horror and style from Outlast.
The story of Mindbreaker is a spinoff prequel to my main game Dreadfire, but with a much bigger focus on horror.
I was able to complete the tech demo for Mindbreaker in 3 months, which contains a 30 minute story campaign, with multiple combat encounters, jumpscares, chase sequences, and dialogue. The game also has realistic physics interactions, and a full body IK system, fully immersing players into the game world.
