As part of Carnegie Mellon University’s Master of Entertainment Technology first-semester curriculum, Building Virtual Worlds is a course where students work in interdisciplinary teams to create interactive worlds every two to three weeks.

Collaborators: Jimit Bhalani, Gabriel Burgess, Prajwal Manjunath & Hannah Turner

Given 3 weeks and a 5-person team, we created a 3-player tower defense game that tasks guests with defending the portal to Heaven from the demons that have escaped from Hell by exorcising them. We created the game using the Cave Automatic Virtual Environment platform consisting of 3 screens forming an open box, and a pneumatic floor that could rise, fall, and tilt.
