Scrap Age VR

After the government contract with Visual Purple concluded, I transitioned to working with Fractal Blue on Scrap Age VR and Scrap Age Survivors. I had long been eager to fully dive into Blender as my primary 3D software, and the team at VP gave me the perfect opportunity. Although I initially adopted Modo at the studio, ongoing licensing frustrations and the need to reduce costs made Blender an increasingly attractive option.

I started by taking a rough blockout of the Town Square and collaborated with various team members to bring it to completion. In addition to the Town Square, I worked on "The Pit" and designed a variety of fun, quirky clothing items and character / weapon skins.

This project was a major learning experience, particularly in optimizing a VR game for Unreal Engine and the Quest 2. We faced challenges like managing draw calls, kitbashing, and reusing textures to achieve the right performance and feel. When I left, the game had reached a solid, enjoyable state, and I hope to see it launch soon, especially once multiplayer is fully integrated.

My time at Visual Purple was incredibly rewarding, and I wish the team nothing but success moving forward.
