Update: Get the uploaded game here for Oculus Quest, Steam VR, and Oculus Rift.

Update 2: Here's the playthough video of the final VR game:


I'm making a VR game for both this jam and Ludum Dare. The theme for that jam is "Keep It Alive", so I'm making a evil magical girl game where she needs to keep a tentacle monster alive and growing. She has to lure other magical girls to the tentacle monster's mouth to feed it, while destroying enemy personnel and machinery that are attacking the tentacle monster.

I've been watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica as research for this jam, and was inspired by the scene in the dream from the first episode ("As if I met her in my dream... or something") where the main character girl sees the long black haired girl fighting/flying in a city.

I've made good progress so far. This is recorded on an Oculus Quest:

Here's my nice simple lowpoly magical girl. I only have 72 hours to jam so she's got no face. Faces take me forever to get right.

VR? Damn... I'm not sure if I can play this... :(

Good luck man for the Ludum Dare!

Here is magical girl's best friend, Wormikyu. She's got to keep it alive.

I also lack a VR setup, but looks neat! Nice work.

Gonna be honest, when I saw the thread title I thought this was going to go in a very different direction. What it really is looks really good! What VR platforms will be supported? I don't have access to it at the moment because of unforeseen circumstances but I do own an Oculus Rift.

Thanks! Yeah the tentacle monster is the magical girl's very best friend. Maybe it's because they both have a fondness of the color purple.

The game will work on the Rift. I'm making it for Oculus Rift/Rift-S, Steam VR, and Oculus Quest. With Unity, I've been able to make it work on all of them without too much fuss.

Here is the 72 hour version of the game, that I made during the timeframe of Ludum Dare 46 using this jam's themes and the Ludum Dare theme of "Keep it alive".

I might work on it a bit more during the rest of Magical Girl Game Jam to make a separate improved build, but I'm pretty exhausted!

Nice! I love the title, hehe.

I understand that most of you don't have a VR system, so here's a complete playthrough video of the game so that you can enjoy it too:

Thanks for uploading this! I was curious how your game turned out, but don't have a VR system. Looks cool! Nice work. :)
