Valley of the Wind

This VR project is inspired by Nausicaa - Valley of the Wind. It takes you on a gliding journey across mountains and valleys to plant seeds and create euphoric soundscape.

Feel free to rotate, glide and plant forests with simple controls from your touchpads.

IMPROVEMENT:

• Use tree models of different colors, different scales or shapes
• Design a system that allows interactions to add up to a meaningful gestalt
• Present controlling information with sketches/ drawings
• Use 3D seed models for coherency
• Insert a hint of story at the beginning ( e.g. "you are a gardener on a floating island...")

TODO:

ALL DONE :D!!!!

DONE:

• Combine all the work
• Add a soundtrack to the background besides the seed sound
• Add different tree models to seeds
• Debug planting seeds so they are planted at "correct" places (Seeds now despawn on impact and collide only with the water layer bc i'm lazy)
• Style the glider model (new glider yay)
• Debug particle system (bug was so so stupid lmao)
• Seeds now have particle trail
• Playtest
• Glider initialises player height and orientation on startup
• Limit the glider at certain height so it won't crash into ground (redone with mesh terrain)
• Figure out glider model - more V-shaped or with some indication of the front
• Wind Sounds (they work!)
• Add particle system to glider so flight trail is visible (tested)
• Add tilt to the glider so when we turn it feels better - D O N E
• Make the terrain feel low-poly: update material and texture, etc. (who needs polys)
• Reimport tree_02??
• Add new glider model to prefab - In Progress - Grace
• Tree Soundscape
• UI or introduction/tutorial into world
• Figure out how to deal with boundaries OR create floating island world -In Progress - Mateo
• Playtest more
