This week, I sat down with Alejandro from the Creative Tech Lab to discuss the possibility of a multi-player network. Although he is going forward with some Photon plug-in tests, our team decided we will pour all of our energy instead into creating an interesting environment for our game. Because of this, we will use VRChat and take it as an opportunity to research custom world creation, socialization habits, and interaction within the existing platform.

This past week I also wrote a script for the 360 filmmaking part of the experience, which will require a fair amount of compositing. Vier also modeled the forest scene for the game in TiltBrush.

Our next steps include research and design. We want to do a follow-up user test in one or two weeks time maximum.
(1) First, we have to see how to meet the requirements to upload our custom world to VRChat.
(2) Second, we need to research the extent of interactions we can include in our custom world.
(3) Lastly, we need to learn about code compatibility with VRChat.
