Final Storyline
Finally, we went ahead with a modified version of “No Man’s Sky”. The user starts their journey in a research lab where there is a state of the art teleporter machine. The user uses the teleporter since its not ready. It starts to fail and takes the user to an inhabited planet. The machine scatters into multiple pieces due to the travel and user finds itself on a small patch of land surrounded by water. The user can move around the land and the water but user has limited oxygen inside water. The user has to find the parts and rebuild the teleporter to teleport. The user realizes that risking the life for the travel was not a good idea but now he has to outlive the odds and reach back home. Once the user rebuilds and starts the machine, user did a mistake and again lands on a different planet. After realizing the mistake, user gathers the parts, rebuild the machine and reaches back to the lab.
The Final Piece
The final game has the 3 scenes with one scene being the start and the end scene of the game.
Science Research Lab
The Science Lab is a room with the teleporter, newspaper stand and multiple state of the art machine. The user movement is waypoint in the scene so that user position and movement is controlled. User starts in front on the teleporter machine.




Water Planet
This planet only has a very small patch of land surrounded with water. The water here is toxic and inhabits your body’s getting oxygen capacity. Hence, the user can be in the water for limited period.






Fire Planet
The planet with molten lava at its surface in multiple pockets. There are also crystals on this planet. The user would die if user moves into lava or comes near dragon.






Conclusion
It was a great experience for all of us. This is a great step in the right direction for all four of us on the journey of VR development and working in a team. We learned a great deal during this teamwork project. Most importantly, we learned to collaborate, appreciate each other and had fun.
