Hello everyone!

Before this summer I created this space station environment: http://polycount.com/discussion/166599/ue4-near-future-space-station

It has since evolved into a VR Experience and it was recently Greenlit on Steam, and recently a new teaser for it was released. I wanted to share some of the latest updates of the game with you.

This is my first time using Blueprints, and the entire game is made with them. I'm incredibly impressed by the power of BPs and how easy it is to learn.

It will be available both for the Vive and the Oculus. A non-VR version will also be available. Hope you like it!

Thank you! Blueprints is Unreal Engine 4's visual scripting system.

This is sick! I would love to see the wire frame for this beast. I bet it looks crazyyyy.

Looks amazing!
How are you going about texturing the assets?  Authoring unique texture maps per asset or material layering system using tiled textures and masks?
And, are you doing any special optimization on this scene in order to run it smoothly in VR?

Thank you guys! I've updated the original post with new screenshots and a new trailer.

@Tzur_H: I'm texturing the whole thing with Quixel SUITE and most assets are uniquely textured, but there are assets that use layering materials and masks. I've worked a lot on optimization and on my end it runs at between 90 and 120 fps.
