Next week, independent developer Giant Scam Industries’ (a sincere
and legitimate company, we swear) upcoming virtual-reality arena shooter
S_napshot VR _will be available in Early Access for Windows PC via
Viveport!
_Snapshot VR _brings the incredibly fast-paced and intense tactical
gameplay of real-life professional paintball into a futuristic virtual
arena shooter with team-based matches of up to five players per side.
With an average of only 45 seconds to dominate the other team, quick
thinking, solid planning, and flawless teamwork are requisite
ingredients for cooking up a victory stew.
_Snapshot VR_ features official National Xball League (NXL) maps and
allows players to create their own custom maps using 2D Paintball’s
Field Creator to design a two-dimensional map that they can then export
to _Snapshot VR_. Choose a layout using a standard grid and then pick
from a wide variety of bunker shapes — including cans, pylons, cakes,
snakes, and more — that can be swapped on-the-fly prior to a match.
Real-time data tracking offers in-depth analytics that shows everything
from where players scored an elimination to which bunkers were most
effective, and more, allowing for effective post-game analysis and
strategy development. The rounds may be short, but, Snapshot VR promises
a deep and rewarding tactical experience. Add to that cross-platform
player profiles, skill-based leveling, matchmaking, and leaderboards and
you’ve got a robust and complete competitive shooter experience!
It takes an expert team to create an immersive virtual reality
experience of this magnitude, making Giant Scam just the team for the
job! In this latest video, Giant Scam Founder and Lead Engineer Jesse
Keogh and Technical Artist and Engineer Tanner Netterville — the
developers behind the karate and friendship game Chop It and a combined
decade-plus’ worth of experience in playing and coaching competitive
paintball — offer a peek behind the curtains to showcase how they
brought these two concepts together to create _Snapshot VR. _
