The Underworld Collective

VR Game

Overview

The creation of our interactive virtual reality game was led by Aryan, using Spline, an intuitive design tool for 3D interactive experiences. Initially inspired by Nintendo's video game The Legend of Zelda, we considered crafting a vast open world for exploration. However, to better align with our narrative and visual theme, we shifted our concept after discussions among team members. The result was a functional game with elements of exploration, narrative and immersion.

Inspiration & Concept
Initially, the process worked with designing a game map that would include 'stages' of a map similar to Legend of Zelda.
In response, we pivoted our approach, carefully selecting static 3D assets from online repositories to better reflect our project’s emotional atmosphere. Each of these static elements was manually animated by Sejeong within Spline, bringing warmth, subtle movement, and interactivity to the website. Alongside the visual animations, sound integration became essential, as ambient audio cues were thoughtfully embedded into interactive components, further immersing users within the emotional and narrative experience.

Environmental Development
To bring the static assets to life, our team used animations, background music, and lighting to give the world a realistic feel.

Character Development

The low poly designs for the characters were designed in Blender, then brought to Meshy to level them up.

Assets Integration

The final assets were generated on MeshyAI, then tweaked in Blender, and published on Spline. Open source models were acquired from sites like CGtrader and TurboSquid.
