About Old Town Stories
Old Town Stories is a first person shooter in VR developed by DeerCaptain, a team of 6 programmers and 4 artists as the final project of the HND at ESAT. The engine used was Unreal Engine 4 and the game was released on Steam for Oculus Rift.
The aim of the project was to develop a first person shooter game in VR trying to create something different to other games of the same genre. This way, in addition to the shooting ability, the player will have a magnetic glove in one of his hands, which will give him powers to attract objects or to create a shield to stop bullets, adding new gameplay possibilities. The game is divided in 2 levels, and the player has to defeat waves of enemies to get to the final boss.
