We are a small team that wanted to create something different from what we've done so far and that's how we got interested in virtual reality. We are big fans of archery and we wanted to try to transfer this feeling, which no other platform would give us. Therefore, we present our first virtual reality project: Archery Red!

In these devlogs we would like to share with you how the development of the game went and what difficulties we encountered.

Where did we start?

We created a character with a bow and then the first harmless opponent.

This was the stage when we asked ourselves an important question: what is the most convenient way to shoot an arrow that will appeal to everyone? How to deploy the UI to comfortably peek at the statistics in the game? You can see the beginnings in the gif below:

The bow and shooting feel was very basic, but also we were looking for the perfect look and here we found it! It looks so much better and more professional doesn't it? :)

We then tried to find a way to indicate to the player what range of shot he had. This is what our first attempt looked like:

We later noticed that the visibility of the arrow was very poor - we had to change that. The first iteration of the trail behind the arrow was very visible but this is not really what we wanted to achieve ;)

Much better ! By the way, we added a new bow colour and you can see where the arrow hits :)

A little extra polish to the look of the bow, From now on the arrow appears on the bow in a nice animation

And there you have it, our bow in its final form, it's beautiful, we can see the arrows in flight and we can see where we hit :)

And here we are, we look forward to your comments and feedback and see you in the next devlog !
