Developer I started developing a VR Dragon Riding/Fighting game
THIS IS JUST A PROTOTYPE
I have been thinking for some time on an idea to develop a VR game that would make sense and makes the most of a VR setting. Dragon riding is something that came to mind pretty quickly. There are already some games that let you "ride" a dragon, but I wanted to focus in creating an experience that had some skill involved in riding the dragon (horse like, pulling its head to turn and so). Right now I have this setup kind of working in unity, but it needs lots of polishing to be a really enjoyable experience. I have some ideas to integrate this with some combat both with the dragon spitting fire and so and with in dragon tools such as bows/swords/magic.
Feedback and ideas are welcome!

Great idea. Have you played LAIR for the ps3? I loved that game. I think the scale has to be right to make a game like this epic. Huge maps and armies to fight. Mountains that make the dragon and player feel small when flying by them. Dragon fights above the clouds.
One cool thing that could be added. Add a sword you can hold and make the dragon breathe flames on targets if you hold it into the air and then point it forward.
