WhipVR

An Action VR game centering around a whip.

A short demo with intricate combat, utilizing a unique roomscale VR movement system.
In development 2020-2022.

The Whip:

The whip is your primary weapon. Strike an enemy with any part of the chain to deal damage, based on how fast the whip is moving. The morning star at the end deals extra damage. You can grab and hold any of the chain links to give yourself an increased amount of control over the end of the whip, at the cost of range.

The Pocket:

At your hip is a round sphere. This allows you to attach the hilt of the whip, for easy storage. If you lose the whip, make a grabbing motion in your pocket and the whip will teleport into it.

The Sawblade:

Hold down left trigger to rev the sawblade. It does damage while spinning. Release the trigger while at max speed to launch the sawblade. It will fly in a straight line in the direction of your left hand.

Movement:

Use the left stick to move. You move in 3 meter increments—think of it like you're standing in a 3x3 meter grid. Within these jumps, the player is expected to move around themselves, in physical space. If you see a projectile coming towards your head, you will have to actually sidestep it in real life. You can also use the right stick to turn in increments of 90 degrees.
