Storyline:
When you were a child, you had always been inspired by the noble warriors that protected your village every day. You felt as if you were born to be a hero, and you would do anything for that title. You loved looking out your bedroom window to watch the warriors tear down everything from zombies to spider jockeys. You wanted desperately to be one when you grew up. Though you had little money, you were fortunate enough to get into a special school that would teach you everything you needed to know to defeat every single monster that would come and attacks the town. The training was every day after you did your long studies. Your teacher was one of the army generals himself. Every day he told you that if you decided to take this path, you would never leave. He never stopped yelling and his face got so red when he became angry you thought he would explode. The training was very difficult. Because it was every day, you were exhausted by the time you got home. You had to learn about every monster from the spider to the big enderdragon. Your teacher tried his best to prepare you for the ultimate test. It would take you 1 0 challenging, long years to finally pass the test. One night, while you were asleep, you heard the big and loud footsteps. You jumped out of your bed and got on your gear knowing that something terrible was about to happen. You shoved open the door and ran until you saw your commander. You asked what was happening, and he pointed up into the horizon. When you saw it, millions of emotions washed through you. At first, you were scared, then angry, then you felt nervous. A giant zombie was running at your town from a distance. The ground was shaking almost as much as you. The commander began yelling things at you. You understood now what your teacher was telling you. Putting on your brave face, you run and fight the giant zombie. With your handy sword, you begin climbing through the tall trees being burned to the ground. When you made it to the top of the tree, you jump onto the ugly zombie. You could hear your commander cheering you on, telling you that you need to destroy the beast. You climb up his shirt and begin attacking him ferociously. It takes a while, but eventually, he collapses. When you find your way back to the troops, you are surrounded by the townspeople. They lift you up and begin chanting the word you’ve always wanted to be called, Hero. Now that you’re older, and you're the most famous person in town because you saved the village once before. Now, the giant zombie is back, and he’s plotting to destroy the town. With your previous experience with fighting monsters, only you can stop the evil, giant zombie from destroying the town. Are you ready to save our town, Hero?

What about your game will make it feel like it was truly created as a VR experience?
It will be very close quarters and many of the traps involve falling or arrow launchers, this will make it seem as if you are really falling or fighting off mobs of zombies.
What is your plan for creating an immersive VR experience?
Our plan for creating an immersive VR experience is to make the game have the player feel that they are in the game and that they need to find out how to get out of the dungeon levels and kill the boss.
What challenges do you foresee in terms of creating this as a VR experience?
Making sure that the tunnels are not too claustrophobic and making sure that it is fully immersive and fun through VR.
Why do you specifically want to create for VR?
I want to create a game for VR to make the player have the ability to be fully immersed in the game while playing it. The goal is to make the player have the most fun possible, and being in the game is the best way. I want for the person to see all the little details added into the game, and to make them believe that they are truly the hero.
How will we accomplish this goal?
We are planning to create a game using VR with the base game of Minecraft. We are going to learn more about Minecraft to use Redstone for traps the players have to face. We will also have to get used to using VR for testing the game from the beginning. We will have 1 person using the VR every day to help see the issue we have with our game.
