Announcing Taskmaster VR: Creative Mode!
Aspiring assistants take note - we’ve just announced that Creative Mode is coming to Taskmaster VR!
Your journey into the world of Taskmaster doesn’t end when you lift that glittering golden bonce in triumph - Creative Mode lets you slip into Alex and Greg’s shiny shoes and create your own tasks! Wielding hundreds of oddball objects and an arsenal of useful tools, you can get creative and let your inner Alex shine - perfect for challenging your friends in local play.
What is Creative Mode?
Creative Mode is a custom sandbox feature that we’ve developed for TMVR that allows players to design and set their own challenging and extraordinary tasks. You are given the run of the Taskmaster House, as well as access to a number of useful tools and toys that can be set up in almost any configuration of game objects that you like. Then, all you need to do is set up the starting position, save and pass it to a friend to make a fool of themselves with!
Key Features
- Create your own tasks and challenge your friends in local play!
- Hundreds of unique items, furniture and fruit to play with.
- Save and share in local play - perfect for Taskmaster parties.
- Making tasks isn’t compulsory - Creative Mode is also great for exploring the taskmaster house, coming up with new task strategies, or just making a big mess.
What Inspired the Development of Creative Mode?
Taskmaster VR is a labour of love for us, and we’ve always been very open about listening to the community of the game and the show, and what they want!
We saw the huge outpouring of requests for modding support, but we wanted to take things a step further and create something uniquely Taskmaster. The team have been so inspired by all the stories our discord community have shared with us about Taskmaster parties they’ve thrown for friends and family, as well as by amazing initiatives like Home Tasking during the difficult covid lockdowns and School Tasking - which is helping to bring the joy of Taskmaster to schools and colleges in the UK.
Creative Mode came naturally from there. We’ve built all these fun toys when designing our tasks, but why wouldn’t we let you play with them too? Sharing is caring, after all.
We asked the team behind the feature what they're most looking forward to.
“I grew up playing creative games like minecraft, and I love that if you give a player the right tools, we can let our creativity run wild and make stuff you never imagined! I’m really excited to see what people make with this.” - Cory, Developer
Roadmap & Next Steps
We can’t wait to see what you’ll build with Creative Mode, and we’re desperate to see your creations on launch day and beyond - but things won’t be stopping there.
Creative Mode 1.0 is an intentionally simple, minimalist feature - but it won’t always be that way. We have an exciting roadmap of updates that we’re excited to share with you over the coming weeks and months. We’re exploring new additions like enhanced sharing, more interactive objects and locations, crafting - and more, even more exciting things. It's still early days on these - some of them may not work out. Which is why we have a task for you, the community.
What do you want to see?
Tell us how you would use this feature, what tasks you would like to create, and how best we can work together to build the #VRTasking community! (Catchy hashtag, right?)
