In early 2024, I completed IGB388 – Design and Development of Immersive Environments. As part of the unit’s assessments, teams had the option to collaborate with students from Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands to develop a project for an external client.
Our client was Banijay, a French multinational television production and distribution company known for shows like Survivor, MasterChef, Hunted, and Big Brother. For this project, teams could select a Banijay-owned IP and create an immersive reality experience.
My team chose Big Brother, and what set us apart was our decision to develop on an existing platform—Roblox. For this project, I learned Lua, and we built a VR rig, which was a unique addition not widely accessible to Roblox developers at the time.
After the semester ended, my teammates continued working with Banijay to refine the game, which has since surpassed 100,000 players on Roblox. I’m incredibly proud to have been part of such a fun and impactful project and hope to collaborate with them again in the future!
The Big Brother VR Experience is an online multiplayer game designed for Roblox, offering VR, console, and PC players the chance to partake in the renowned Big Brother reality TV show. Players engage in various trials and mini-games, competing to avoid elimination in voting ceremonies.
Team 15 undertook the creation of this VR experience in alignment with the IGB388 unit objectives, emphasising immersive system design and development principles.
