How to Make a VR Game with Rosebud AI - Easy Tutorial

Making a VR game is now easier than ever, especially with Rosebud AI.

In this tutorial, we'll show you step-by-step how to vibe code your own immersive VR shooter game, complete with interactive floating targets, scoring systems, and stunning space-themed visuals.

All without needing advanced coding skills!

Step 1: Setting Up Your Basic Game Elements

First, let's create the foundational elements of your VR game. Your initial setup should include:

• VR pointers (for aiming)
• Interactive floating targets
• Basic firing mechanism

You'll likely encounter initial quirks, such as controllers or firing mechanisms not working as intended, but don’t worry—these are easy to fix with Rosebud.

Prompt Used:

"Make a cool VR game where we target a bunch of floating targets with cool lighting and neon effects."

Step 2: Fine-tuning Controls and Mechanics

Once you've got your pointers and firing mechanism, you'll want two functioning guns—one for each controller.

Make sure both guns fire correctly and bullets visually interact with targets, highlighting them and triggering a satisfying destruction effect.

You can use a prompt like this:

"Good work so far but left gun does not fire, and also there should be two guns: one on the left and one on the right"

‍

Step 3: Adding Dynamic Difficulty

A good VR game keeps players engaged with increasing difficulty.

Let's introduce movement to the targets and a respawn mechanic:

• Targets move dynamically around the scene.
• After hitting a target three times, it disappears and respawns, keeping gameplay fresh and challenging.

Prompt Used:

"Alright, good work. This is turning out well, but I want to make some improvements. First, I want shooting a target three times to make it disappear, and then, of course, it should respawn. I also want the difficulty to increase over time. As more targets get destroyed and respawn, they should start moving around more and more—both in terms of location and speed—to make them harder to hit."

Step 4: Improving Visibility and Scoring

Players need clear feedback on their performance.

Let's ensure the scoring system is easily visible during gameplay with this prompt:

"Attach the score display directly to the player's view so it's visible at all times, enhancing immersion and playability."

Step 5: Creating an Immersive Environment

Finally, to make your game visually appealing, enhance your VR environment. Aim for a captivating "neon solar system" aesthetic:

"Add space-themed elements, such as stars or planets, in vibrant neon colors against a dark background."

The goal is to transport players into an immersive space shooter experience.

Step 6: Testing and Finalizing Your VR Game

Once you're satisfied with your gameplay, visuals, and mechanics, test it thoroughly.

Ensure the difficulty scales appropriately and provides a smooth player experience.

Step 7: Publishing and Sharing Your Game

Publishing your VR project is simple with Rosebud AI:

• Go to your Rosebud interface.
• Add an appealing thumbnail and an engaging description.
• Click "Publish" to generate a public URL.

Anyone can now play or even remix your game with just one click, allowing rapid iteration and collaboration.
