Description

 

Elite Encounter (EE) is a simple VR shoot them up game.  The goal of the game is to shoot down enemy spaceships with a laser while avoiding being hit by enemy laser.  An unbreakable shield is given to the player to block any incoming laser.  Think of the shield as Captain America's shield.  With such a shield, any incoming attack is neutralized. 

 

The game play is very challenging in the sense that there are a lot of space ships in the sky shooting at you from all angles.  There is no telling where the next shot is coming from.  Plus, the AI of this game is specifically tuned to be very aggressive.

​

There are three levels of difficulties to choose from, namely easy, medium and hard.  Each level features different sky and aggressiveness.  Due to the different AI, most of the time, a player would find him/herself in the middle of an epic battle trying to stay alive.  This makes Elite Encounter a fun game to play with over and over again. 

 

History

​

Elite Encounter (EE) was conceived as a game concept for the goal of learning about writing VR game on an HTC Vive System.  The developer of EE, a father and son (12 years old) team, was  located in the great state of Arizona.  The game engine of choice for this learning exercise was Unity 3D due to its relatively shallow learning curve.  As the learning became easier and easier, the basic shoot them up concept and implementation of EE began to take shape.  Within two weeks, basic game play was fully functional.

​

Elite Encounter was not intended for public release at all originally.  As this father and son team was testing the game, they both realized that EE was actually pretty addictive and challenging.  It was then thought to be a good idea to share this game with other players in the VR community.  That was the moment when both developers agreed to start polishing EE and make it a challenge to themselves to make EE even more playable and lovable.

​

A few months later, EE was in such a playable state that caught the attention of film producer of FullScreen Media.  EE's game play footage was invited to become part of the Fullscreen Media comedy TV series "H8ters"

Storyline

​

It was just another day in the year 1956. All of a sudden, siren went off everywhere at the army base Fort Gordon, in the state of Georgia. In the blink of an eye, special force commando, Hecho Blaerion, found himself looking for major covers from a sky full of B-57 bombers. Hecho spotted an empty cave by the side of the mountain. He knew he had to dash for it even at the cost of risking being blown up into pieces on the way. He made it. At least he thought he made it. Next thing he knew, the shock wave from bombs all around him tossed him up in the air and rendered him unconscious. When he woke up, he found himself in a totally different time and space that he couldn’t even use any words to describe. Speechless.  There was one way into this bizarre realm.  There has to be one way out only, he figured.  The way was to JOIN THE FIGHT with all his guts, a Chinese made magical shield and a laser gun he called the “Sinistram”.  Can he battle his way out of 30 ships, or be blasted to pieces?  There is only one way to find out…...
