\u00a0This adds an interesting take on the game, and can be pretty fun with multiple people. \u00a0That is why we want create a multiplayer VR version of this, and see what kind of reactions we get. \u00a0Changing perspectives as you change props is a source of inspiration behind this idea.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Concept Art:<\/p>\n<p>The image below was a game we thought about using at first (The Very Organized Thief), but we decided to combine this idea with another of ours.\u00a0 This\u00a0art style will be something we will try to mimic in this game, as it looks nice, yet is somewhat simple to create in 3D software. \u00a0To give the game variety, we will need to make a large amount of objects (a few dozen, at least), so we need to ensure we can finish all the items in the semester.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/numberoneofgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/tvothief_pa-screenshot01.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To give an example of the gameplay mechanics, here&#8217;s a Hider disguised as an orange. \u00a0Again, we figured a VR version would be cool, because you could see the world as an orange!
