Co-Founder & Game developer

Project Scope

“Who Killed John Malone?” is a thrilling locked-room murder mystery set in the 1980s. Players must uncover the dark secrets behind the murder of John Malone, a morally ambiguous city council member. The game requires players to explore detailed environments, interrogate lifelike characters, and solve complex puzzles to unravel the mystery.

Challanges

Learning Unreal Engine and Blueprint Coding

Mastering Unreal Engine and its Blueprint system to create a complex VR game required significant learning and adaptation

Technical Constraints of VR

Overcoming the limitations of VR devices, particularly Android-based systems, necessitated optimization for shaders, performance, and interaction mechanics.

Operational Hurdles

Implementing realistic interactions, such as door opening mechanics and vector calculations, posed operational challenges.

Workflow Integration

Streamlining the workflow from Blender to Unreal Engine for seamless asset integration was critical.

Audio Integration

Ensuring immersive and high-quality audio experiences in VR.

3D Widgets in VR

Integrating interactive elements like notepads and subtitles in a 3D VR environment

Solutions delivered

Custom Animations and Interactions

$

Developed animations for realistic interactions (e.g., opening doors) by calculating precise distances and mechanics.

Specialized Testing Maps

$

Created dedicated maps to test various interactions and mechanics to ensure a smooth user experience

MetaHuman Adaptation

$

Adapted MetaHuman characters by exporting to Blender, removing unnecessary structures, and refining in iClone for optimal performance in Unreal Engine

Audio Solutions

$

Implemented advanced audio solutions to enhance immersion

3D widget integration

$

Innovatively integrated 3D widgets for an interactive and intuitive VR experience.

Why won’t you feel the game with us?

Graphics, Visuals, and Interactions

High-quality visuals are essential for immersion. After a year of testing, Unreal Engine allowed us to achieve stunning graphics and animations. Realistic characters respond to your location, gaze, and actions, making every interaction feel natural. Using Behavior Trees in Unreal, NPCs dynamically react to player behaviour. Creating dialogue components with blueprints resulted in engaging conversations.

Models & textures

Do you know what is even better? More decent structures made by our 3D designers, here You have some more:

Sound

Sound is crucial for immersion. Unreal Engine’s MetaSounds enables sound integration with game data and player actions. Ambient sounds, like street noises or conversations behind doors, enhance realism and immerse players in the virtual world.

Story & Plot

Story and Plot

As fans of crime stories, we aimed to create a game where players solve a murder mystery. VR allows us to make a game where you feel like a real detective, analyzing the environment, deducing, and having conversations. The plot is designed so players can identify the murderer even if they miss some details. Immersion helps players engage deeply with the story, enhancing their involvement and desire to explore the game’s world.

Here is our dialogue system, which makes our game more immersive for players.
