Derelict VR

Derelict

As this is a C++ Unreal project, you will need to install Visual Studio as well as the Unreal Engine. This guide should show you which options to select when installing Visual Studio (specifically, you need to check the 'Game development with C++' option).

• Unreal Engine version: 4.24.3
• Visual Studio version: 16.5.4

Info & resources

Project style guide (no pressure to follow this exactly, but we should aim to follow this where possible).

For the moment you will need to build the project locally in order to play, but later on we can share downloadable releases to this repository which you can download and play.

Building the project

• Make sure you have the matching Unreal Engine version installed.
• Pull the latest changes using git
• Before opening the TimeVR.uproject file, right click TimeVR.uproject and select generate Visual Studio project files (if you don't see this option, something is not right with your Unreal Engine/Visual Studio installation)
• Open the new TimeVR.sln file which was created during the last step, it should open visual studio
• In visual studio, hit F7, or navigate to Build > Compile
• Once this completes, you can open the TimeVR.uproject file, which will open the Unreal Engine project

Controls

Built for Valve Index controllers, Vive and Oculus controllers should work but haven't been tested

• Interactions: Simply touch buttons interact, no need to press a button
• Teleport movement: Trigger on either controller
• See back in time: To view the ship as you remember it from the past, press and hold the A button
• Pickup items: To pick up items, grip the controller
