I'm currently exploring an idea that could potentially transform the way we play chess. I'm developing a 3D Multiplayer Chess Game designed specifically for the Oculus Quest 2 and I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this concept.
The unique aspect of this game is its integration with Lichess, one of the largest online chess platforms. This means players will have the opportunity to challenge a diverse range of opponents who are active 24/7, bringing the global chess community into the immersive world of VR.
Here are some features I'm considering:
Real-time voice chat for in-game communication.
A spectator mode where users can watch others' games in a virtual environment.
Customizable chess pieces and game environments.
As VR enthusiasts, your feedback would be invaluable:
What are your initial impressions of this project?
What features or aspects would make this VR chess experience truly immersive and enjoyable from a VR user's perspective?
Are there any VR-specific challenges or considerations you think I should be aware of?
This is a great opportunity to discuss the future of VR gaming and how we can bring traditional games like chess into this new medium. I'm excited to hear your thoughts and ideas, and I look forward to a fruitful discussion!
I'm not any good at chess, but I do love to play, and this sounds awesome! I think something that makes all VR games like this more immersive and enjoyable is the option for hand tracking. It's a lot more natural to be able to just use your hands to move chess pieces than a controller! I also love anything with customization, so I like to hear that you're already considering customizable chess pieces and environments. I can't wait to see where this goes!
