Before the Rain — Noah's Ark VR

Overview

Before the Rain is a three-room VR experience for Meta Quest 3 that places you inside the biblical story of Noah's Ark.

Process

In Room 1, you chop wood and deliver planks to help Noah build the ark. In Room 2, you explore the completed vessel and seal it for the voyage ahead. In Room 3, the flood arrives — water rises fast, and you must grab the animals and load them aboard before it's too late.

Successes
This was one of the most complete projects I've solo-created in Unity VR, and I'm pretty satisfied with the result and the level of completion. 

Challenges
Figuring out proper grabbing mechanics was one of the most time-consuming parts. Continuously testing with headsets in general took a lot of time. I personally want to create the visual assets myself, but the timeline doesn't fully allow that scope.

What I learned

I learned how to grab objects in VR, tune details for hands, object scales, and other elements, such as environmental style and audio design. There are many aspects to consider in scenes.

Possible future revisions

- make the scene more realistic and add more space to explore
- adjust the handling mechanics of the held objects (e.g., axe)
- add a "losing scene" (haven't added that before this submission date, but will add it myself)
