We Chose Unreal Engine for VR Development

Ultima Chess is not just a chessboard in front of your eyes. It is the opportunity to step onto the chess field, just like Ron Weasley once did in the Harry Potter movie, to see a detailed environment and examine unique pieces from any perspective that suits you. We want to create such an experience you have likely never felt before in a regular chess game.

Performance is crucial for VR, and Unreal Engine allows us to reduce the load on the headset without sacrificing quality, ensuring a stable frame rate. Also, one of the key features of our game will be graphics. With all its benefits and features, it will make it spectacular.

Our goal is to deliver breathtaking real-time lighting, shadows, and physics that make your gaming experience blow away.

Why Unreal Engine Stands Out for VR Games

In 2024, the share of games developed on Unreal Engine was about 28%, while in previous years it was about 17%. We see it, it's gradually starting to take a bigger and bigger market share in the VR industry as well. Also, many well-known VR titles have been released over the past few years.

Among them are:

• Robo Recall
• The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
• Resident Evil 4 VR
• Hubris

Our Experience in VR Development

We have been working with Unreal Engine for many years, specializing in VR projects. We've learned how to adapt the engine's capabilities to every project we've done to utilize its full potential to deliver high-quality, optimized experiences.

For our development team, its rendering capabilities ensure that every piece on the board looks detailed and realistic - just the way we want it to. Whether it's the setting of the Men of the North Kingdom or the Virus faction, the level of detail makes every game come alive.

How Unreal Engine Enhances Chess in VR

Traditional chess requires strategic thinking and deep concentration. In Ultima Chess, we're adding a few more things. Our goal is to take chess beyond the 2D chessboard and turn it into a new interactive experience for you that you've never had before.

We believe that it’s a new way to experience chess like never before.

Final Thoughts

Choosing Unreal Engine for Ultima Chess VR was an easy decision. Its powerful features, combined with our team’s extensive experience, ensure that this game will deliver a high-quality, immersive chess experience unlike anything seen before.
