🎮 Project Nova: Dodge Simulator

Dodge Simulator is a fast-paced virtual reality dodging game where players must rely on movement and spatial awareness to dodge enemies' attacks and projectiles with the help of items. Designed specifically for VR, the game while still being in its early stages focuses on interactions with items as well as enemies.

🧠 About the Game & Inspiration

The main inspiration behind Dodge Simulator comes from my fascination with VR games such as Superhot or Half life Alyx. The game focuses mostly on movements while also allowing me to test out multiple different interactions in a VR environment. 

The goal was to create a game that feels intuitive in VR—where the player’s body is the main controller—while still delivering challenge, tension, and fun.

🛠️ How the Game Was Created

• Game Engine: Unity (C#)
• 3D Modeling: Blender
• Platform: Virtual Reality (VR)

The game was built entirely in Unity, where gameplay systems such as enemy behavior, player interaction, audio, and physics were implemented. 3D models were created and edited in Blender before being imported into Unity.

🎓 Why This Game Was Created

Dodge Simulator was developed as part of my minor (Creative Design and Technology). The project served as both a learning experience and a creative challenge, allowing me to explore VR development, game design principles, and the complete pipeline from concept to playable game.

Throughout development, I focused on improving my skills in Unity, C# scripting, 3D workflows, and designing engaging VR gameplay. Most importantly, the game while not finished is still a checkpoint in my journey of learning to create a VR game and expanding my skill set.
