3RD LAW

An innovative approach to movement in Virtual Reality!

You’re the only person in a massive galactic cargo spaceship that’s been ambushed by space robots. With your work now compromised, the spaceship has initiated the self-destruct sequence that will destroy everything on the spacecraft within 10 minutes. Pick up your weapons and shoot your way through the ship – literally. 

Navigate the massive galactic spaceship in zero gravity using the recoil of your weapons. This unique movement system requires players to balance combat and movement, creating a dynamic and strategic gameplay experience.

• Use the grab buttons to pick up the different guns
• Use the triggers to shoot and propel yourself
• Use the left joystick to adjust your pitch
• Use the right joystick to adjust your roll

Functions:

• When you shoot, you move, but also rotate. You can use the joysticks to realign yourself if you ever get lost in space. 
• When a turret, or drone, shoots you, they will push you around, instead of depleting your health! So be careful to not let the drones swarm you!

Calibration:

Align your head with the astronauts body when you begin the game. 
It is safest to play seated as unlike the astronaut, you have to fight with gravity!

Known Bugs:

• Camera might slightly clip out of level if you are against thin geometry
  
• Player might clip out of bounds if excessive force is applied
• Player randomly drops the gun 
• Performance issues on lower hardware
• Turret enemies model moves upwards when they aim
• Drone and turret enemies don't aim properly at the player
• Rifle has inconsistent rotation based on what computer is being used
• Audio too loud

Developed in Unreal Engine 5 and tested on the Oculus Rift S!
