currently I am developing a game for the Oculus Rift called "Reality Rift". The past 2 months I have spend on it and it is shaping up little by little. All information etc. is still subject to change and I quite often change my mind on something because while trying I figure out something else works better.
It's gonna be an adventure with mostly anime styled characters (not showing them atm, since I am not sure how to integrate them with the Rift/stereoscopic 3D).
What I can share is a bit from building destruction. I will have many ways of destroying, exploding, manipulating ... different structures. And I will have these integrated into the story.
In the end I want a small world that the player is able to discover, not running like a modern FPS, but walking and really taking it in. I need a Rift for myself to finally make these decisions though (and at that point at least a dozen testers for feedback

just some features I will use in stories
- placing explosives (where YOU like)
- attack by catapult
- star wars force push (you know what I mean ^^)
- disintegration (fun!!)
- being inside of a collapsing structure (that's when I learned that every structure needs a light garden in the center when possible)
So what would you like to see? I would be grateful for ideas of what you would like to see!
The single stories/episodes are planned to be 45-60 minutes long on a not rushed gameplay. I am working alone and underfunded, so I rather complete just one episode/pilot than have a 20% finished bigger game that no one can use. And this will allow me to scale it up any way I like - my aim is a first season of like 10-20 episodes.
Why the episodes approach? I had to stop playing stereoscopic games every 30-60 minutes in the beginning because I got headaches otherwise. I expect the same for VR. And I hope with VR we will build the bridge between classic tv story telling and computer games. We all want to play those holodeck stories right?
