About:
Centauri is a First-Person Shooter / Platformer in Virtual Reality. You are a scavenger sent to an alien planet in an attempt to find advanced alien technology that can save your home planet. Unfortunately for you, some space pirates are also here looking to steal the technology for themselves. Fight off the space pirates, defend yourself from the dangers of an alien world, and unlock the secrets that will save the world!

Key Features:
• The ultimate first person shooter/platformer in virtual reality.
• Fight against your opponent and the environment in 1v1 online multiplayer.
• Collect alien relics to unlock the alien knowledge needed to progress through their facility.
• Strategically choose where to respawn to get back to the alien relics faster.
• Multiple types of hostile alien enemies and environmental traps will slow you down and try to destroy your drones.
• Two levels and a tutorial to play through.

Initial Prototype/Alpha: 10 weeks.
Beta/Post-Production: 10 weeks.
Total Production Time: 20 weeks but we also had two other classes with their own projects and requirement to pass. So for me personally, while this did get the most attention, it had roughly only 40% of my time over the past 20 weeks.

Used Perforce for Source Control and had two Vives and one Oculus Rift for playtesting.

All assets were created during this 20 week period, we used no sourced assets other than @mordentral VR (OpenVR) Expansion Plugin

And with that…I finally graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a B.F.A in Game Development.

I’ll post a demo and/or steam link later. It’ll be a free demo/game of course.
