Chapter 231 - Transfer Complete (1/2)

The development of Minecraft continued after Chinese New Year.

The game was still a ways away from the final product after the first stage. It was already quite a feat to recreate Minecraft, but Chen Mo wanted more, hoping to recreate it in VR.

The next step was to port Minecraft to VR.

-Second floor of the experience store-

Chen Mo took off his special consciousness gathering helmet to stretch his neck.

The consciousness gathering was complete, now the thoughts of moving, jumping, attacking, placing, using, crafting were translated into actions in VR.

Chen Mo then entered everything into the Illusion Game Editor, linking the thoughts to movements in game.

Conversion of the rules from PC to VR was also ongoing in the game editor.

The conversion to a 3D PC game to VR was quite quick. Of course, if the game was innately big and had a lot of resources, this process would be much longer.

Luckily, the rules of Minecraftwas quite simple with not many resources in play, so the conversion happened quite quickly.

Chen Mo installed the VR version of Minecraft onto the gaming pod to try it out.

Soon, Chen Mo’s consciousness entered the VR world.

A new world was generated as specified, and Chen Mo could feel himself fully immersed in the world.

However, the situation could only be described as very terrible.

First was the horrible graphics.

In VR, the field of view of the players were increased, so some of the rougher details can’t escape the eyes of the players.

The jaggedness of the pixel graphics were incredibly obvious.

Looking down revealed an ugly, blocky person, with legs like meat in a can and no fingers.

Looking around revealed the trees, rivers, mountains, and animals, all of which wasn’t what Chen Mo had in mind.

These graphics were acceptable on PC, but with the wider field of view in VR, all the flaws were magnified, so bad that it almost feels like another game.

The movements were smooth, and the feedback from the environment was incredibly lacking.

In VR, players didn’t play the game using keyboard and mouse, but using their consciousness. Although CHen Mo already gathered the thoughts for all of the controls, he realised that it was far from enough after trying it out in game.

It was quite lacking, especially when compared to a mature VR game like Earth Online.

For example, Chen Mo felt as though he was on a unicycle when he was moving as it was really weird without any bobbing. It felt like he was floating through the air too, as opposed to having his feet on the ground.

There wasn’t any feedback grabbing tools, and actions such as jumping, mining, and placing felt like someone else was doing it.

All in all, the first VR version of Minecraft felt the same as VR goggles in his previous life, other than a change in perspective, there wasn’t much difference.
