Build a block-breaking rhythm game for virtual reality!
VR has become a staple of the video game industry, and opened up new ways for developers to explore game development. Rhythm games in particular have benefited from this VR boom – with wider audience reach and newfound experiences available for their simple mechanics.
Using Unity’s XR Interaction Toolkit and C#, you’ll build your own rhythm game where moving blocks can be sliced with VR controllers to the beats of a song. Along the way, you’ll explore other common mechanics, such as track building, managing different songs, implementing variable block-types, and more.
Whether for VR or not, these skills will open up access for you to the rhythm game genre with systems designed for expansion in your own projects!
This course assumes familiarity with Unity, C# and the XR Interaction Toolkit, and works for Oculus Quest, Oculus Quest 2, and Oculus Rift S.
You will learn how to:
- Set up interactable note blocks
- Make block-breaking animations
- Detect hit and missed blocks
- Track scores and game over states
- Create tracks with beat markers
- Move tracks towards a stationary XR rig
… and more!
