Rave Gazebo

An album of six dance-interactive songs in Virtual Reality! Flail your arms wildly and experience the world pulse to your every move. You are the puppet master.

#Tragic #sacrifices had to made. I had to #optimize scenes where all objects were moving to run at 72 #FPS on the #Quest1, a phone strapped to your head that #renders everything twice. Take a look at some of the things that didn't make it in!

Go check out the linear remix of Moonglade Express, it's so funky!

[Starheart✨ | VR Musician @StarheartVR]

Moonglade Express is out on bandcamp now!! This stunning artwork was made by the very talented @MisterCarnival

Amazing #BehindTheScenes tour of the #music in Moonglade Express!

I made music for a VR game!!

#ravegazebo is all about #immediate musical interactions for non-musicians. Switching the music is as simple as #flailing your arms around!

Playtesting #ravegazebo on non-musicians taught us that the primary #interaction needed to have a clear #visual #effect on the #environment, to encourage #movement and #reward the #user for #interacting with the #system.

The last #song on the #ravegazebo album Xylitol Isomalt had a chance to implement all the lessons we learned developing the #album. @xxxjjj999 produced incredibly #highenergy #music, and we matched that by letting the user knock #furniture around a #disco bar in #zerogravity

@indieDevC Dance-interactive VR album!

[Rave Gazebo @RaveGazebo]

What even is #ravegazebo? It's a #dance-#interactive #album that uses your controller as an input to #remix #songs in real time! You don't even need to see anything to control the #music.

Moonglade Express pushed the boundaries of #glitch effects in #VR, in particular we finally discovered how to keep things #optimized by using #UV mapped #models.

For Rave Gazebo's #audioreactive #Visuals , we separated out the Kick and Snare from every #music layer to drive a two-part visual conversation in our scenes.

Massive thank you to @_kzr for creating the powerful #reaktion #unity3d package!

The #interactivity we first added into Quadra Section made its way into the rest of the songs. As it turns out, #physics #simulation is the purest form of #humor in #videogames.

Crashing cars into digital people has never been so much fun! Stand at the center of an intersection directing traffic into pedestrians in Quadra Section.

@LeoSandbox Stencil shaders in VR make really cool glitch effects!

@ScreenshotSatRT Stencil Shaders in VR create wild glitch effects!

[Rave Gazebo @RaveGazebo]

#stencil #shaders let you #paint #portals onto any #shape, even on moving objects! We use this for #glitch effects.

#Optimization concerns dramatically shaped #ravegazebo's third song Antiparticle Lobster. Multiple revisions forged a gorgeous end result!

The first #musical problem Rave Gazebo had to solve was how to smoothly #transition between arrangements.
