Project Overview

Guard Sky is an interactive VR project blending action shooter, stealth, and tower defense. The player defends Snake Island in the Black Sea against escalating waves of enemy attacks. The atmosphere reflects the real chronology of events on the island since 2022, with detailed weapons, a skill progression system, and rich interaction with the environment and vehicles. What we did? We handled the full cycle: research and reference gathering, reconstruction of the island, gameplay and VR interaction systems, and optimization for different headsets. Unreal Engine 5: UE5 renders the environment with high realism, building the atmosphere and a strong sense of presence. 3D Design / Art / Animations: Detailed models with interactive internals — players assemble, disassemble, repair, and replace parts. Heavy visual storytelling (wear, rust, moisture, damage, burn marks) and MetaHuman facial animation give every character a distinct personality. Level Design: Accurate recreation of the island's terrain, fortifications, and firing positions from open-source data, for a believable scale and environment. Tech Art: Full sea-surface simulation — water shaders, buoyancy for boats, and physics reactions for debris falling from destroyed aerial targets. VR Interaction: Immersive controller-based systems for weapons and equipment, balancing realism with intuitive control to avoid cognitive overload. Development: Core systems on Unreal Engine — Blueprints for fast iteration, C++ for performance. AI for aerial and naval threats, real-time scripting, physics interaction, and dynamic environmental feedback. Optimization: Stable VR performance across headsets and consoles via profiling, LODs, asset streaming, draw-call reduction, and memory balancing — minimizing motion discomfort. QA Testing: VR usability, performance stress, AI behavior, and interaction-precision testing. Why it matters? Close collaboration between artists, engineers, technical artists, and QA delivered a realistic, immersive VR environment with stable, high-performance builds and a scalable scenario architecture — suitable for training, demonstration, and experiential use, with predictable timelines and reduced production risk.
