Mobile Game Development on Unity for HTC Vive

Customers leave for competitors if you don't have HTC Vive

Modern guests have already seen ordinary screens, interactive tables, and standard mobile apps — these don't surprise or retain them. When a competitor with a VR zone appears nearby, attention and emotions instantly shift to them: people line up, take videos, and come back again.

Without HTC Vive and immersive technologies, you lose not just one-time engagement but also repeat visits, social media mentions, and audience loyalty.

Limited functionality without VR solutions is obvious immediately: visitors compare experiences, and a standard program loses. This is a direct loss of reach and revenue — guests vote with their feet for the format that delivers a vivid experience.

We close this gap: we design VR games that hold attention for 5–7 minutes, encourage photos and discussions, and thus bring new customers without extra advertising costs.

What benefits VR games bring to your business

VR games have long ceased to be just entertainment — today they are a full-fledged marketing tool that works on several business tasks at once. Instead of passively viewing an ad, the customer steps inside a vivid story where the brand becomes part of their personal experience.

This kind of experience is remembered for a long time and brings measurable results: from increased awareness to direct sales inquiries.

The main thing VR delivers is emotion. When a visitor puts on a headset and enters another reality, the same mechanisms are triggered as at a live event: delight, surprise, and the urge to share.

These very feelings build loyalty — a person associates pleasant experiences with your company and is more likely to return.

The second effect is viral reach. People take photos and videos in the VR zone and post them to social media with geolocation or the event hashtag. Each such post is free advertising shown to friends and followers. One guest can bring dozens of new contacts without extra targeting costs.

Lead generation is equally important.

It is easy to build a hook into the game scenario: after a session, you can offer a promo code for a service, collect contacts in exchange for a gift, or allow users to book a consultation right “in virtuality.” People readily leave their data because at that moment they are engaged and in a positive mood — the best moment for dialogue.

Finally, VR games create an image of a modern and bold brand. While competitors use standard booths and banners, you offer guests an unforgettable experience.

Professional equipment such as HTC Vive ensures stable operation and full immersion — exactly what turns a one-off promotion into a steady flow of new customers and stories told about you.

Game development formats for HTC Vive

The choice of VR format determines timelines, budget, and return. That is why we help you decide: from a short demo to a full-fledged attraction, including mobile VR games for standalone headsets.

We deliver all projects turnkey on HTC Vive — that ensures a stable picture and predictable results at your event.

Each format includes turnkey development: script, 3D graphics, programming, testing, and launch. You receive a ready-to-use game, staff instructions, and post-launch technical support.

This approach covers both one-off promos and permanent locations — you pay for the result, not for “raw” development.

If you need a format for a specific scenario, we will show examples at a test drive. We will pick the right scale so the game delivers value from day one.

How we develop games for virtual reality headsets

Developing a game for the HTC Vive headset is a process where the client needs predictability. We have structured it so you understand what happens at each stage and can influence the outcome without wasting time.

1. Brief and task. We document the project goals: what the event is, what audience it targets, and what business result is needed. Based on this, we define the format and technical requirements.
2. Scenario and mechanics. We detail what the player sees and does: story, control, session length. You get a clear description that is easy to approve.
3. Prototype. We build a working fragment so you can see for yourself what the game looks like in the headset. We test comfort and usability — this avoids rework later.
4. Full version development. We create all levels, graphics, and sound. We break the work into stages with control checkpoints — you know in advance when and what will be ready.
5. Launch and support. We deliver, install, configure, and train your team. We stay in touch for refinements based on the event results.

We set development timelines at the start, and each stage ends with approval. This lets us deliver the project on time and without surprises — exactly what a client who is accountable for results to managers or customers needs.

What is included in the project delivery without surprises

Before signing a contract, every client wants to know exactly what they will get after launch. In HTC Vive game development, it is common to hand over a ready build while all code stays with the contractor.

We work differently — we transfer the full package so you are independent and can manage the project.

The delivery includes:

• Project source code. All scenes, scripts, settings, and assets — everything needed to build the game. You receive the full right to use and modify the project and to hand it over to another team.
• Documentation. Detailed instructions: how to install the game, configure it for your equipment, and verify correct operation. Typical administrator tasks and emergency scenarios are described separately.
• Staff training. We conduct an online session for your team: we show how to launch the project, track key metrics, and react quickly to failures. After training, your employees can maintain the game without developers.
• Technical support. For the first months after launch, we stay in touch: we help with installation, answer questions, and promptly release fixes if something goes wrong.
• Complete set of documents and media files. We transfer all materials, including graphics, fonts, sounds, and licenses. This is convenient if you decide to order modifications or adapt the game for another platform.
• Recommendations for further development. We show which features can be added and which bottlenecks to address in advance, so you can plan the budget and product development without surprises.

This approach eliminates surprises: you know the delivery scope in advance and can check it directly at acceptance. Most importantly, after all stages you get a working project you can manage, maintain, and develop independently.

Case study: VR attraction for a large shopping mall

When a large shopping mall, Megapolis, approached us with the task of revitalizing its entertainment area, standard attractions were no longer generating the needed foot traffic.

We proposed a VR solution based on HTC Vive — and it changed the picture: instead of empty spaces, a point of attraction appeared, constantly drawing visitors around it.

Numbers that speak for themselves

During the first month of operation, the attraction collected over 1,200 game sessions. This is not just “nice statistics” — it is a live queue on weekdays and a frenzy on weekends, when guests came to the mall specifically to try the new entertainment.

Thanks to high traffic and well-designed scenarios, the project paid for itself in 4 months. For comparison: a typical entertainment area becomes self-sustaining in 8–12 months, while here the result came two to three times faster.

What the client got

The client got not just equipment rental but a ready-made business process: automated booking, a session tracking system, and a trained team of operators. We handled all the technical work so mall staff could focus on guests rather than setting up complex hardware.

For visitors, it became another reason to return to Megapolis. The VR attraction increased dwell time, which directly affected the revenue of nearby stores and the food court — an effect that is hard to achieve with a regular promotion.

Why we are confident in repeating the result

Six months later, the mall ordered a second attraction with an updated game. We suggested seasonal content rotation — so the zone keeps attracting visitors without significant additional investment.

For us, this is the best indicator: when a client comes back, the project is bringing real value, not just looking impressive.

This case is a clear example that a properly built VR attraction pays off and becomes a growth point for a business. If you are looking for a format that works for your traffic and reputation, we are ready to build the same project for your venue.

Answering your questions about ordering VR development

Before ordering VR development, clients most often worry about three things: how much it will cost, whether the project will drag on, and what to do if the equipment fails.

The complexity of the process also scares people — it is unclear where we start and what you are paying for. Let us address these concerns point by point.

What are the timelines for a VR development project?

A typical project takes four to eight weeks. Timelines depend on your goals: the more unique mechanics, the more time is needed for testing. We work according to a clear plan: you see the stages, receive intermediate results, and know the launch date in advance. If there is a risk of delay, we tell you right away, not on the last day.

What about VR equipment repair? Is there a warranty?

We are responsible for the technical side on a turnkey basis: we set up, check, and support the equipment at your event. If you use our hardware, spare headsets and controllers are included.

In case of a breakdown, we respond within an hour and quickly replace the device so your guests do not notice any malfunction.

Get a consultation and cost estimate for your project

Leave a request and get a free consultation and an accurate cost estimate for your project. We will review your task, suggest the right game format, and advise on how to make the most of HTC Vive's capabilities.

The process takes minimal time: we will handle the communication so you don't have to dive into technical details. What matters is this — you will get a clear estimate and an understanding of timelines before signing the contract. No hidden terms or obligations — only transparent steps and results:

• You leave a request on the website — with a brief description of the idea or just contact details;
• We contact you within one business day and clarify the goals and audience of the future game;
• We conduct a free consultation, during which we discuss the scenario, mechanics, and key scenes;
• We prepare a detailed cost estimate and a timeline of work stages;
• We show you the estimate and plan, answer questions, and adjust the scope of work if necessary;
• After approval, we formalize the agreements and start development, supporting the project until release.

To order HTC Vive game development, you don't need to be a technical specialist. Just write to us — we will handle the rest. The consultation is not binding: you don't pay anything and make your decision only after seeing the full estimate and work plan.

How to choose the right VR game format for your audience?

Choosing a VR game format directly depends on three things: business goals, budget, and type of venue. This is a basic rule that helps you avoid overpaying for excess functionality while not skimping on what truly matters to your audience.

If you need to attract attention at an exhibition or event, choose short interactive demos that surprise from the first seconds and fit easily into the visitor flow.

For staff training, longer simulators with detailed scenarios work well, where skills can be practiced without risk to equipment. For product presentations, a VR tour is effective — it engages the client and helps them make a decision faster.

Budget and the technical venue also impose their own conditions. A full-fledged HTC Vive game with maximum realism requires a dedicated space and a powerful PC — this is the best choice when your audience is ready for immersion and you can guarantee quality.

If the event is mobile and the audience is diverse, consider VR solutions based on mobile headsets — they are cheaper and easier to deploy, while still providing a sufficient effect.

In any case, the main advice is to start from the expectations of your clients and employees, not industry trends.

A well-chosen format pays off: it increases the time spent with your brand, improves memorability, and delivers measurable results — from the number of test drives to the depth of training.

Reach out to us for help — based on the brief, we will suggest a format that solves your specific task and deliver it turnkey.
