Well, it seems that I will need to withdraw from the competition. Lack of sleep, and the fact that I was put on-call for the week on Friday. It’s always nice of work to call me up on Friday and tell me that I am on call for the week (our week starts on Saturday). A few times over the week I had to pull over on the highway for some Zzzz, heh.
Anyways, while I am bowing out of the competition, I am doing so with 3/5 goals accomplished. Heavy VR optimizations? Check. Character animations / control? Check, Lighting / Lighting tricks? Check. Sadly, the other two goals which I had hoped for I did not get to. AI, and shipping. Oh well. But such is life.
One thing though, I think that even if I completed my game, reading the post about “nudity” may have made my game ineligble for the Game jam, since it was based on the Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) universe. Giants without genetalia… but still naked giants. Tsch.
So I will leave some screenshots from what I was able to accomplish in the short amount of time that I was able to put into the game. Keep in mind that every level plays at above 90 FPS in VR using the Oculus Rift!

Arena (The actual game, the idea was that you and the AI would be playing a pac-man of sorts, find each other in the maze to eliminate the opponennt. Since the “game-board” is so small, there is a TV that was going to follow your character. An idea about the sense of scale… with you standing on the giant’s shoulder, you come up to just above his eye height.):
