Manual Version: 0.908 (Draft) Uberlaufer A Virtual Reality Game Manual Version: 0.908 (Draft) Uberlaufer by August Branchesi Published by Überläufer is a registered trademark All Rights Reserved Foreward Special thanks to my family and friends who have been supportive of this passion project over the last 2+ years. It takes a lot of time and effort to make a video game, let alone a procedurally generated VR game. I do have a normal job, so this project has been worked solely on nights and weekends with my head down at the computer. I could not have done it without their patience and support. Back in high school, I absolutely loved the original Castle Wolfenstein games by Silas Warner and Muse. I spent countless hours playing these games on the C64 and Apple II. Überläufer is a love letter to these original games, re-imagined in Virtual Reality but with a different backstory and completely reworked to include rogue-like gameplay and new mechanics for VR. I wanted to accentuate the stealth portions of the game, ramp up the “tension” of escaping, and lean on real historical assets. It combines elements of some of my favorite games that I think creates something unique. In addition to gaining a lot of XR experience for my regular software engineering job, this game was also a way to share some stories about real people in Germany and Austria who bravely challenged the hate, bigotry and extreme nationalism of the Third Reich. In America, we don’t hear about those stories, so this was one way to share them. A message that is more important today than ever. At the end of this manual you will find links to various sites that offer information about these resistance movements and the people behind them. The Story You play as a German Wermacht soldier in World War 2 who opposed the Nazi party and has been imprisoned in a dungeon. You are freed from your cell by the German resistance with only one pistol and limited ammunition. You must complete your objectives and then find the exit to escape. Gameplay This game is procedurally generated. This means every time you play, the dungeon layout, enemies, objects and objectives are different. Every time you begin the dungeon, an AI generated photo and short biography of your character are also generated. You can view these in your Soldbuch (Soldier’s book) from within the game. If you perish, you must start over again in a brand new dungeon with a new character. As you play the game, however, you are earning credits towards achievements which can unlock additional weapons, perks and enemies. The more you play, the better you become at the game and will progress further. Do not be discouraged dying on your first try, the game is meant to be challenging. Progression If you escape the dungeon, you can continue to the next dungeon taking control of a new character and continue this process until you perish. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will be working towards achievements that unlock other weapons, perks and additional enemies that may spawn in the dungeon. You also earn experience points that can be spent at the beginning of a dungeon to equip your character with a weapon or perk immediately. The shop appears in the room where you start, and allows you to spend experience points to bribe a guard for these items. Once you pass through the door exiting the start area, the shop is no longer available for that dungeon, so be sure to stock up before you enter! There are currently two different dungeon types: German Dungeon This is a standard dungeon with medium lighting. It is always the first dungeon. Stalag This dungeon is in greyscale with the exception of specific colors. It has a gritter, old war movie feel. The lighting is normal, but can be a little scarier. Controls The game can be played seated or standing. You can reset your headset view at anytime through the menu. The options menu has multiple settings for comfort, control and to increase immersion. For example: • You can hear letters in native German or English while the text remains English • Turn off object highlighting • Disable blood effects • Enable sensitive symbology from World War II • Use snap-turn or smooth locomotion • Tunneling effect for people sensitive to motion sickness • Swap left and right controller locomotion controls Navigating the Dungeon Your Soldbuch (German for Soldiers Book) provides your character’s biography and objective information as well as information on usable inventory items. To access the Soldbuch at any time, lay either hand out flat in front of you with your palm facing up. You will see the Soldbuch appear and can grab it with your other hand. The right hand side of the Soldbuch will show a map of the explored dungeon for the current floor you are on. If you find the full map when exploring the dungeon, you will be able to see all areas on the map. You are the red dot on the map. Looking at your map leaves you vulnerable to enemies, so keep your eyes and ears peeled! Opening Doors and Chests To open doors and chests, simply grab and pull by pointing your hand at the handle. Cells doors require a silver key to open (can be used once for each door), or can be shot open. Shooting cell doors may attract nearby guards so always be aware of your surroundings when you do this. Health You can always see how much health you have by looking at the tattoo on the bottom of either wrist. The tattoo will slowly disappear as you lose health and your hands will become more bloody. There are no “health packs” in the game although there is a small health boost you can purchase with earned credits at the beginning of the dungeon. Weapon Handling You can store one firearm in addition to the firearm you are holding. To store a weapon, simply place it to your chest and let go. To retrieve it, put your hand to your chest and grab (like you are pulling it out of your jacket). There is no need to look down to retrieve your weapon. Simply pull it from your chest. You can quickly swap weapons by simply dropping your current weapon in your jacket. It will be stored and if you already have a weapon in storage, it will automatically be swapped and put into your hand. Reloading Weapons To reload a weapon, empty the clip by pressing the primary button on your controller holding the weapon. Grab a new clip with your other hand by reaching behind your back and grabbing. You can then place the new clip into your firearm. Most weapons require you to cock the gun before firing by grabbing the bolt and pulling back. You are now ready to fire. You can always see how many bullets and clips you have available by pointing the firearm straight up. Reload management is crucial to surviving! Always be ready! Weapon Types The following weapons are currently in the game. Others are planned in the future. P08 The standard P08 is always available when you start a dun- geon with two magazines. It has eight rounds and a sight you can use for aiming. It has an average sound profile for alerting nearby enemies. Suppressed P08 This is a P08 with a suppression device attached, making it less noisy. It does not attract guards as far away as other firearms, but is harder to aim as it has no sight. This weapon must be unlocked via an achievement before it can appear in the dungeon or be purchased. C96 The C96 has more bullets (ten) in a clip, easier reload and a sight but requires special ammo clips or an ammo box that spawn less frequently. It is better as a secondary weapon. This weapon must be unlocked via an achievement before it can appear in the dungeon or be purchased. MP40 This sub-machine gun has a large capacity and rate of fire (fully automatic), but is harder to control. Use two hands to make your shots more accurate. It requires special ammunition which spawns less frequently and definitely attracts more attention. This is a great secondary weapon when you are in a pinch. This weapon must be unlocked via an achievement before it can appear in the dungeon or be purchased. Grenades Grenades can be purchased in the shop before entering the dungeon once you complete a specific achievement. Using a grenade requires two hands leaving you at a disadvantage since you will have to store your weapon. To charge the grenade, grab the bottom, pull and throw. Grenades can also be used to replace a booby trap after it has been defused or detonated. To reset a booby trap with a grenade, simply hold the grenade near the booby trap and let go. Enemies This is a brief overview of enemy types. There are different variations of each enemy that may have different roaming behaviour, equipped weapons, accuracy and posture. It is up to the player to learn their behaviors. Standard Wermacht Soldiers Officers Special Ops Winter Soldier Most enemies have a chance of surrendering when injured except for the SS. When surrendering they will always drop their weapon which can be picked up and used or stored. It is up to you on what to do with them, but knocking them out can be helpful towards earning some achievements. SS Assault Trooper The SS assault troopers are easily identified by their black uniform and gas mask.

  • Video Game Violence: a Review of the Empirical Literature
    Aggression and Violent Behavior, Vol. 3, No. 4, pp. 407±428, 1998 Copyright 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd Printed in the USA. All rights reserved 1359-1789/98 $19.00 ϩ .00 PII S1359-1789(97)00001-3 VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE: A REVIEW OF THE EMPIRICAL LITERATURE Karen E. Dill and Jody C. Dill Lenoir-Rhyne College ABSTRACT. The popularity of video games, especially violent video games, has reached phenomenal proportions. The theoretical line of reasoning that hypothesizes a causal relation- ship between violent video-game play and aggression draws on the very large literature on media violence effects. Additionally, there are theoretical reasons to believe that video game effects should be stronger than movie or television violence effects. This paper outlines what is known about the relationship between violent video-game playing and aggression. The available literature on virtual reality effects on aggression is discussed as well. The preponder- ance of the evidence from the existing literature suggests that exposure to video-game violence increases aggressive behavior and other aggression-related phenomena. However, the paucity of empirical data, coupled with a variety of methodological problems and inconsistencies in these data, clearly demonstrate the need for additional research. 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd KEY WORDS.

  • Intersomatic Awareness in Game Design
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Intersomatic Awareness in Game Design Siobhán Thomas A thesis submitted to the Department of Management of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. London, June 2015 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 66,515 words. 2 Abstract The aim of this qualitative research study was to develop an understanding of the lived experiences of game designers from the particular vantage point of intersomatic awareness. Intersomatic awareness is an interbodily awareness based on the premise that the body of another is always understood through the body of the self. While the term intersomatics is related to intersubjectivity, intercoordination, and intercorporeality it has a specific focus on somatic relationships between lived bodies. This research examined game designers’ body-oriented design practices, finding that within design work the body is a ground of experiential knowledge which is largely untapped. To access this knowledge a hermeneutic methodology was employed. The thesis presents a functional model of intersomatic awareness comprised of four dimensions: sensory ordering, sensory intensification, somatic imprinting, and somatic marking.

  • Violent Virtual Video Games and Hostile Thoughts
    Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic A^erf/.i/Scplcmber 2004 Violent Virtual Video Games and Hostile Thoughts Ron Tamborini, Matthew S. Eastin, Paul Skalski, Kenneth Lachlan, Thomas A. Fediuk, and Robert Brady A vioient virtuai-reaiity (VR) video game's short-term impact on telepres- ence and hostility was studied. Five weeks before a lab experiment, participants completed a questionnaire measuring prior vioient video game use and trait aggression. Participants were randomly assigned to play a VR vioient video game, play a standard vioient video game, observe a vioient video game, or observe a non-vioient video game. Following exposure, measures of telepresence experienced, hostile thoughts, and aggressive acts were obtained. Findings are consistent with predictions that personal variables (prior video game use) and situational variables (violent media exposure) influence telepresence experienced in media environments and promote hostile thoughts. No findings substantiate predictions that telepresence mediates personal or situational variables' influence on aggression. The enormous controversy surrounding violent video games has been fueled by conflicting claims about the nature of their content and the relationship between game use and hostility. Spurred by tragedies like those at Columbine High School, concern has led scholars, social critics, game manufacturers, and media profession- Ron Tamborini (Ph.D., Indiana University) is an Associate Professor of Communication at Michigan State University.

Two key aspects of this, we will argue, are the Bangladesh problem (which will make criminal law very hard to practically enforce) and technologically enabled self-help (which will offer an attractive alternative protection to users, but also a further excuse for real-world police departments not to get involved).

  • Designing a Virtual Reality Game for the Pediatric Patient-Player Experience
    Navigating the Pixelated Waters of Voxel Bay: Designing a Virtual Reality Game for the Pediatric Patient-Player Experience Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alice Grishchenko Graduate Program in Design Ohio State University 2017 Thesis Committee: Alan Price Maria Palazzi Jeremy Patterson Copyright by Alice Grishchenko ©2017 All Rights Reserved Abstract Voxel Bay is a virtual reality game created in collaboration with Nationwide Children’s Hospital to distract pediatric hemophilia patients from the anxiety related to the prophylaxis infusion procedure they must undergo regularly. This paper documents answers to the question when designing a game to serve as a pain management distraction technique for pediatric patients, what factors should be considered for the overall experience of the patient-player, clinicians and caregivers, and what may be unique or different from conventional approaches to game development? The answers to the research question are presented in context to the development of Voxel Bay. They are a list of factors to be considered and a documentation of my contribution to the project. The game design concepts discussed include spatial level design for virtual reality and ways to world build without cut scenes. This paper also mentions the hardware configuration used to create an entertaining hands-free system without sacrificing the integrity of the player’s medical experience. After an exploration of these concepts, the paper describes the novel processes used to realize them. The design choices and process documentation are supported by a review of research precedents regarding virtual reality as a distraction tool for medical settings as well as games designed to be used with breathing peripherals, games that use a networked system with different user roles and games that directly inspired the design of Voxel Bay.
