Inspiration

Creating something that people can enjoy and have fun with is always inspiring! I’m constantly brimming with ideas and love the process of bringing those ideas to life. This project is a reflection of that drive—a way to blend creativity with excitement and share it with others.

What it Does

The game concept revolves around becoming a bomb. Once you're the bomb, you’re on a timer, only able to jump around as the countdown to your explosion ticks away. The objective? Stick the bomb by jumping onto someone else before time runs out! Players can collect power-ups to increase their chances, such as meteorite showers to disrupt others or traps to keep opponents from tagging you. Conversely, players can also escape by grabbing speed boosts or jumping into air vents to confuse the bomb. However, there’s a twist—the bomb knows where you’ll come out of the air vent! The gameplay balances power-ups, traps, and tactics for a thrilling and competitive experience.

How We Built It

I started building this project a year ago using primitive shapes. Unfortunately, I had to pause development due to personal challenges, but I recently resumed after recovering. With access to new tools like Trimesh capabilities, I began scripting and building again, and it has been an exciting journey of discovery and improvement. Most of the work was done using a VR headset, with custom assets uploaded from a PC. Each step taught me something new about the tools and techniques for bringing a virtual world to life.

Challenges We Ran Into

One of the biggest challenges has been working within the constraints of limited system capacity. Striking a balance between high performance and good build quality is a constant challenge. Optimizing the world while maintaining its visual and functional appeal has been both a struggle and a valuable learning experience.

Accomplishments That We’re Proud Of

I’m incredibly proud to have turned this game concept into reality. The tagging mechanics and the overall gameplay experience align perfectly with what I envisioned, and seeing it all come together has been deeply rewarding. It’s a testament to persistence and creativity, and I’m thrilled to share it with others.

What We Learned

One of the key lessons I’ve learned is the value of feedback. Listening to what others think about your world can make a huge difference. What feels perfect to you might not resonate with others, and taking their input into account helps create a better experience for everyone.

What’s Next for Sticky Bomb Tag

The best part is still ahead! I plan to introduce stunning new maps that players can select, adding more variety to the gameplay. Additionally, players will be able to earn coins in-game to unlock amazing bomb skins, adding a new layer of customization and fun. The journey of Sticky Bomb Tag has just begun, and there’s so much more to come!
