Catan VR was developed by 'Experiment 7' in Unity 3D for Oculus Rift, Go, Gear and PSVR.

Catan VR takes the hit boardgame 'Settlers of Catan' into virtual reality allowing you to play online against friends or AI opponents.

My role was Technical Artist. I was primarily responsible for:

Optimization, Asset Wrangling, Asset budgets, Profiling.
Light C# tools development for animation assets viewing and importing.
Design of AI Avatars and their animation system.
UI/UX.

The goal was to take advantage of the best aspects of digital board games, and marry them with the huge social benefits of presence within VR. UI/UX design was particularly interesting, as VR has unique requirements for UI.

Example of the animation system for the Catan avatar opponents. This character 'Candamir' was able to show a number of emotions contextually, and could turn his head to face the other three opponents. The system was developed using Unity 3D's animation system, mechanim and C#.

Prototype UI/UX using C# and UGUI.
