CHALLENGES

Gameplay nausea: A primary problem that gamers face with VR games is gameplay nausea. Constant rotation and vertical displacement will result in discomfort and inner ear imbalance. The game is deliberately set in an outer space setting so that movement isn’t bounded by gravity and physics.

Faster, engaging gameplay: In addition, land mech battles tend to be slow and sluggish as players usually have difficulty navigating when gameplay nausea is experienced. To mitigate this and for a better user experience, we have decided to set the game in space, where the primary motion is a "rush-forward" action, and players do not have to deal with vertical displacement (hence the title Space Battle Cows - as with how bulls rush-forward during bullfights)

Unlike space battles using primarily range weapons, we are looking at implementing melee battles for a more immersive experience, allowing players to experience fast, close combat battles.

Optimization: A balance must be struck between awesome graphics versus seamless play. Working in conjunction with a phone instead of a PC would mean that some level of graphic details would have to be sacrifice in order not to lag out the game.

MILESTONE THREE UPDATE:

Tweaking the controls / navigation to the right sensitivity is puke-worthy indeed. Having to play and replay over and over again to tweak it.... argh.
