Project Sketch
This is the project ideology. My teama nd I devised a level layout before heading into an unreal engine block out.
This is the storyboard for our project that my team and I got from brainstorming.
This is the concept art and moodboard for our project
We set-up trello board for to-do list and timeline
Blocking of Level in unity
Work in Progress of level 1
I used Treeit software to create unique tree designs.
I started to put all the trees I created on treeit and build a simple environment.
Along the way, we set up plaster a version control to hold out the project in the cloud control
Using this allowed us to work together pretty much in the same way as perforce. It also granted us a changelog as well as the ability to restore the project at any previous point!

Quest Export/package build
Build Iterations were fairly straightforward! Following Meta’s documentation came in handy.
First, the headset was connected to MQDH, then ensured it was recognized in unity. From there, we have the option of building the apk directly to the headset or simply exporting it.
The primary issue that returned ‘gradle build failed’ was due to improper locations of android APK installs - switching computers fixed the issue :)
