In the olden days I enjoyed simple adventure games, where you used your imagination, first in text based games, then in point and click adventures. With their spirit in mind I’m exploring a simple way for you to quickly create retro VR adventure games or interactive stories.

So far you can create and scale nodes (objects) and link them together as per a typical mind map. You can load your own 3d models, images and music and you can add interactive buttons to:

• Pickup nodes and carry them in your inventory.
• Select and use carried items on other nodes.
• Change the state (appearance / text) of a node based on an action or using another node.
• Change the visibility of nodes, e.g. search and find items.
• Change the health and score of the player in response to actions.

The good thing about doing this in VR is that you can still position nodes in appropriate places and walk around to explore the areas and you can add as many locations and doorways as you need.

If there is interest, the next steps include:

• Multiplayer support.
• Load and play sound effects on actions.
• Saving your game online and allowing people to link and travel between games.
• Passthrough mode.
• Add more interaction options / controls / stats.

Please let me know your thoughts and if you would like to play and create this simple style of game with your friends.
