The team reveals that “traditional development approaches don’t work” in VR and how audio, gameplay and art must come together to put you “in the moment.”
The Climb’s emphasis on replayability and catering for different styles of play is also discussed. Casual players can approach each rock climbing playground as a “Zen” exploration experience. However, veteran gamers can enjoy the competition, challenge, and depth of a sports game as the multiple ways to beat each ascent drives furious rivalries between friends and on leaderboards. Executive Producer Elijah Freeman says: “I think that’s part of the magic of what The Climb is – you can try it ten different ways, and you might be trying to do it with the least amount of grips, or you might be trying to do it as fast as possible. It just depends on how you want to play the game.”
We hope you enjoy the dev diary, but as Lead Producer Fatih Özbayram says, “The best way to experience VR is really to put on the headset, because you can’t convey the immersion with a 2D video. You can’t explain VR actually, you have to experience it yourself.”

However, the process of creating the game is a real team effort.
With that in mind, today sees the launch of the first video in our new developer diary series, in which some of the people leading our expedition into VR with The Climb share their insights into the project.
You’ll hear about how real rock climbing helped to inspire the game, and why even the earliest prototypes of The Climb had everyone convinced we were on to a winner. The team discuss those moments that really set their hearts racing, and you’ll learn about the new mindset required for creating a game in VR. Check out our latest video and find out why the team behind The Climb are calling it an “intense” experience which ensures that “if you want to know what it’s like to climb a cliff face, you’re actually going to get that feeling.”
The Climb Team.The Climb Fly-Through Footage: BayThe Climb2016-01-22 | Earlier this week we shared details of how we set about bringing The Climb’s vibrant Asia setting to life (http://bit.ly/1RSRhwx) – from early inspiration to the challenges of implementation. Today, you can take a closer look at the setting with a brand new fly-through video.
The fly-through footage takes you on a tour of our bay and reveals the environment we’ve created and some of the rocks you’ll be scaling when you play The Climb for yourself. Of course, the setting takes on a whole new dimension when experienced in VR, but we hope you’ll agree the view is already pretty easy on the eye.
From temples up on the rocks to junk boats in the bay below, our Asian-themed environment takes inspiration from elements from East and South East Asia to create a sense of imagined-postcard-perfection surrounding you on all sides. Whether you’ll have the courage to soak it all in as you scale the cliff faces towering above the water is a whole other matter!
For now, sit back, relax, and allow us to transport you to a tranquil paradise where you’ll discover that life on the edge has some serious upsides.
