Dollface VR (old version - no download available)

Dollface is a sandbox doll house where players can paint the walls, decorate a house, record music on the keyboard, cook from (initially limited) recipes, throw knives and play basketball with fruit,  take photos, make a mess, and clean it up. 

Follow the tutorial to learn to interact with game items like the Hifi, nail gun and laptop, and then continue with some relaxed tasks in the doll house to earn rewards and new stuff to play with. 

I made this in Unity 2019 with SteamVR 2.0 and the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP). I made all the 3d and 2d assets in Blender / Photoshop/ Adobe Fuse. Most of the sound effects are from Freesound.org. Materials are from Unity's measured materials library, CC0 textures, and the rest were made by me using Substance Alchemist.

NOTE: This was developed on HTC Vive, it worked on Oculus Rift as of Jan 2020 but in a more recent test, it had become really buggy. I've taken the build down for the time being until I investigate what happened as it's a very bad user experience and may be due to an update to the Oculus software being incompatible with SteamVR. If you are a Vive or Index user and wish to test this project please contact me, I will make it available.

Gameplay: open and experimental

I wanted to make something for people with no game experience and perhaps negative ideas of computer games and newcomers to VR in particular, and emphasis has not been on creating a challenge or a game to complete, but on building a VR-first world that shows and works with what's different about this medium.

Technical spec and Non-VR support

You need SteamVR installed to run it in VR mode. (Get Steam for PC, then install Steam VR within Steam.)

Limited non-VR functionality:  loading it without a headset should launch in 3D mode with a fallback red dot hand and keyboard movement. This works pretty well for grabbing things but it's very fiddly for using the laptops / keyboards. Runs OK on a laptop that can't handle a high end VR headset, but probably requires dedicated graphics.
