One More Cup of EGO

This project was made for Project 2 of UIC's CS 428 course, created in collaboration with fellow classmate Robert Petrov. Check out his project page here!

NOTE: Although this sim is meant to be played in VR, it also includes support for PC standalone.

One More Cup of EGO is a Virtual Reality experience built with VRTK 4 in Unity.  The project takes the form of a room-scale kiosk within a mock-up of an upcoming CS building to be built on campus. The kiosk itself is inspired by the games Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina, both games created by Project Moon. To this end, the kiosk is themed after the Asiyah layer, covering the first four "floors" from Ruina. The kiosk also features numerous interactables and objects the user can "buy," which consist of EGO equipment from L Corp.

The sim can be played on either PC or Quest (or any other headset capable of running .apk files), but is intended to be played on the Quest. The PC version takes the form of a first-person experience, where the player can control the simulated VR controllers via mouse and keyboard.
