In this episode we have Ross DeVito, a gameplay programmer at
Survios, a VR studio. Ross shares his journey from studying
mechanical engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to finding
fulfillment in virtual reality game development. He discusses the
development of 'Alien: Rogue Incursion,' a VR game that Survios
is adapting for flat screen (PC and console) gaming.


Ross explains the challenges and techniques involved in
transitioning VR mechanics, such as weapon systems and combat AI,
to a traditional flat screen format. They talk about the
differences in optimization, player control, and immersion
between VR and flat screen gaming, as well as the additional
features of the PSVR2, like adaptive triggers and head haptics.
Ross emphasizes that the evolved edition of the game aims to
offer a unique and immersive experience for both VR and flat
screen players.
