Detour Bus
August 2019 - Present, Director/Technical Lead
Unity, FMOD
Detour Bus is a VR comedy construction game where you build winding highways around yourself to take the flowers family on a groovy roadtrip across post-infrastructure America. My co-director and I designed the project as an accessibility-first VR experience.
While I was a student at USC, I was co-directing a team of 20 students while working on Detour Bus as my capstone project. Now, I'm currently finishing the full game in my free time. I am responsible for the majority of the core tech, gameplay polish, and graphics programming.
I've learned a lot from taking my own project from idea to 8-level shipped title, and I can't wait for it to finally come out! (soon)
The project has a grant from the Oculus launchpad, and was nominated for a BAFTA.
