In this talk we will cover the design and production process of the VR game Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son (2019), from the conceptualization to the release of the project. We'll talk about the initial design proposal to Sony Pictures, proof of concept, references, the process of adaptation from the film Groundhog Day (1993), character creation, narrative structure, time loops, dialog system, animation system, puzzles, interactions, and locations.
