To The Top VR

Justin Meisse

Hi everyone, I was the character artist on the indie VR game, To The Top.
It was an exciting ride and I had a lot of freedom on this project. I can't say it's my game becuase most of it was in place before I joined but it was really an honor to work on it. As someone who gets motion sick really easily I'm confident in saying this game is a new paradigm in the VR space, the only reason I have to stop is because of all the actual physical activity involved in playing. If you own a Vive I heartily recommend getting it.

I made all of the bodies and most of the masks and hands, it may seem weird having player customization right now but multiplayer is still being worked on and will be unlocked at a later date

We've got an awesome soundtrack of local Austin artists as well

Here's a little tips and tricks video by the creator

Looks good,  going to check it out for the locomotion system alone.  It definitely looks like something that would induce motion sickness for those prone, though ..any particular reason why you think it doesn't affect you?

I don't know, maybe it's because you're mostly jumping? We showed it off at SXSW and out of 400 or so people we had very little complaints. My level of motion sickness is, unless I'm driving I can't read or be involved in stimulating conversation while riding in a car, I get extremely dizzy. I actually got a little sick watching the tips and tricks video but playing the game, I'm fine.

DUDE THIS LOOKS SOOOOO FUCKING COOL.

I just got to experiment VR for the first time the other day and I was mentioning that I wanted to see a great VR first person experience that takes advantage of a unique movement.

This looks like it could be it.

I don't personally own a VR but I am going to try to play.

Any plans to release for Oculus Touch? I'd be curious to try the locomotion as well

Yes, an Oculus version is in the works
