"Cyberdelic Escapism in Space" plays in a surreal and futuristic environment. The idea of the vr experience is to beam the viewer in a future time where mind modulation experiences (so called "digital trips") are a common entertainment thing for many people. It's just the basic idea of the background story, but this "reality" background isn't been showed or really important in the scene. Because the viewer starts already inside | "Cyberdelic Escapism in Space" plays in a surreal and futuristic environment.

It's just the basic idea of the background story, but this "reality" background isn't been showed or really important in the scene. Because the viewer starts already inside such a simulation/trip, in the so called "initialization center". There he get some instructions and, for sure, advertisement from an generic voice. | ||
After a short break of this instruction and look-around time the "init. process" starts. I implemented a kind of tunnel-vortex, in which the viewer got pulled into. Starting slow, getting faster. At the end of the tunnel is an dome-like room, in which the viewer starts to rotate. Again the movement getting more and more fast. Parallel are some flashing red lights and an distorted, robotic voice telling and showing that there are some serious errors in the process of initialization. So from the start of the tunnel until the point when the viewer leaves the dome, i build up an more or less exponential klimax of the atmosphere. Machine sounds getting louder and faster, same happens with the movement of the camera rig. When the klimax is coming near to the peak there are happening some camera glitches which should represent the errors which the simulation system got when modulating or manupulating the visual cortex of the person in this scene. Afterwards this "Upload Scene" is done. Then the real simulation starts. I implemented a scene switch here because both scenes in one would have been maybe too big i guess. | After a short break of this instruction and look-around time the "init. process" starts.

The real simulation plays, like the name says, in space. I tried to create the feeling of being in an living environment. The environment itself is a dark, mystical until psychedelic kind of small planet system in which u fly around unfreely. So the whole experience of this scene is also like the introduction scene bounded to an linear timeline. So it's more like a movie then a game, thats why i talk the whole time about a "viewer" instead of a "player". | The real simulation plays, like the name says, in space.

Below follows a little picture series of some objects from the scene(s). I made all 3D objects that can be seen in the scene in Blender (2.79). For texturing, bump mapping, emission texturing and so on i used some textures from the Unity Standard Assets Pack, but most of them i painted myself in Blender (2.8). The mechanic voices are made with a vst which emulates the old SAM algorithm, known from the commodore 64 and with an online text-to-speech generator. All other sounds in the scenes were made with different digital and analog | Below follows a little picture series of some objects from the scene(s).

All other sounds in the scenes were made with different digital and analog synthesizers. The final editing and mixing of sounds happened in Ableton 10. The final arrangement of the sounds (and animations) i did with the Unity Timeline feature. | ||
