ZOSULand - 10 square miles to explore in Oculus Quest2 & PCVR

Introduction

Hello! I am a 1 man Indie Studios called ZOSU Studios.  I just released my first major game built primarily for Oculus Quest 2.  It is a game where you can explore (fly, run, climb, grapple) large urban areas totaling over 10 sq. mi. to save animals, destroy dinosaurs and robots, and do other tasks to score points in an urban/cyberpunk environment.  There are over 250 unique buildings and over 50 animal and car variations.

I have been learning how to make a VR game in Unity as a hobby for about 11 months.  My goal was to make the largest game and playable areas I could in the Quest 2 while still containing a considerable amount of detail and 72 FPS.

Current Game - 

*** Demo - Oculus Quest 2 and a port over to Quest2linked-Rift=-PCVR  (it also works crudely off PC using mouse and keyboard), all levels are available with a time limit

*** Full Game (currently $2) - same as the demo game but no time limit

Game Creation Experience Description

After well over 200 build iterations I finally completed a functional game last week!  It has taken me a long time to learn the querks and limitations of the Oculus Quest 2 in order to maximize the gameplay and graphics out of this platform.  You would not believe my excitement when I had finally removed one last bug that made all ~ 40 levels suddenly maintain 72 FPS in my primary testing (somewhere around build iteration #180).  It was a very big surprise to me for instance that on the Oculus Quest 2 there is an extreme limitation regarding the use of alpha channels which completely voided most of what I was initially trying to do with plants and graphics.  The Quest 2 also seems heavily capped for max texture size allowance and of course the expected polygon limitations, however, I could not use occlusion culling succesfully without causing severe pop-ups in the VR which thus heavily restricted my max triangle/polygon count per level.

As I am very excited about this game I released a demo of the Quest 2 standalone and PCVR linked versions that have all content accessible (demo forces level change after 60 seconds).

Future Itch Projects

1) Finish ZOSULand 20ZZ by adding a considerable amount of detail and complete the FPS testing on my recently released game, along with adding enhanced PCVR levels and perhaps a few more square miles of urban areas to explore - and then by finally submitting it to the Facebook app lab.  Also I need to do additional testing on smaller levels as the details can be considerably increased for the Oculus Quest 2 build.

2) Create a demo of my detailed forest PCVR hunting game (dense/lush vegetation) for animal bow hunting and interactions along with a playable simplified port to Oculus Quest 2.    Currently there is actually an early PVR build that I think is quite good with a very dense forest as a sub-level in my prototype VR Multiplayer Crossplay game.

3) Brainstorming for a new mobile html game - I have been working on making android and i-phone playable games off html on itch.  Currently I have 4 mobile html games available 

4) TBD very interested in creating another Oculus Quest 2 game with a sci-fi focus or forest focus

I started a 1 person Indie Game Studio called ZOSU Studios LLC recently and this is my first major prototype build for Virtual Reality (VR). 

Virtual Reality Multiplayer Crossplay PC, Oculus Rift/Quest2 Standalone and Linked by ZOSUStudios (itch.io)

This is a prototype Virtual Reality and PC multiplayer game that works crossplay VR with PC, Oculus Rift S, Oculus Quest 2 standalone and linked.   This game also works offline.  Included is a the full game, a lobby only build linked still in multiplayer, and a separate Quest2-standalone APK that can be loaded onto the Quest2.

This build was targeted for the Quest2-linked and Rift, the Quest2-standalone is a smaller build with only the lobby and the city which are both multiplayer enabled.  

As this is a prototype build there are a potentially bugs and not all of the multiplayer elements were fully or properly linked/synced in this test.  I have had a passion for learning game design as a hobby the last couple years and the last few months I took-up virtual reality to see what I could make.  Future builds will be coming with larger focused PCVR worlds and Quest2-standalone worlds with more exploration into multiplayer and crossplay (having potential success with VR crossplay to mobile games), but I wanted to put this build together so that my friends and other people could dial into multiplayer testing of some of my current content.  This content was put together primarily using Unity, Blender, G imp, FreeCAD, and even some 3D models compiled using Photogrammetry Meshroom software.  Anyways there is a lot more for me to learn but I finally know enough to start to compile some playable content (originally my focus was on creating Webgl/html games for mobile play that could be played directly off web browsers).  Also as this is a prototype game I am using a free server service so I will need to eventually disable this build's multiplayer but the offline version will still work.

This game contains the following:

- Medium size and medium density forested island with all climbable trees, multiplayer enabled, bow hunting, and a city included

- Large city with almost all buildings and objects climbable and grappleable with multiplayer enabled

- A small very dense forest island with no climbable trees but basic AI animals, underwater, and dinosaurs with bow hunting

- Interactive multiplayer lobby with a fair amount of custom textures and models (created some low poly adventure areas using GravitySketch), with some beautiful pastel paintings, and with full body player characters along with some 3D images that I turned into 3D models from the beach using photogrammetry, also guns with target practice

-A large sized forest island with no climbable trees or multiplayer

-A test mountain with snow that you can walk through and leave tracks in along with dinosaurs that leave tracks
