What Mythical City learned from developing a new virtual reality game
summary
Mythical City ships a room-scale Vive title, Snow Fortress, in Steam Early Access to learn VR workflows; it fits gameplay inside the physical play area to avoid locomotion, uses snow-on-mittens health instead of HUD hearts, employs a physical lever to start and snow-globe level selection, and relies on positional audio to guide attention. Lessons inform a VR port of Battle Fleet 2 that adds pinch-pull zoom and a visible string from controller to selected ship, plus planned cross-platform multiplayer to increase player count.
