Virtual Boyfriend Karamatsu (VR)

Description

Step into the charmingly awkward world of *Virtual Boyfriend Karamatsu (VR)*, a sweet and lighthearted VR dating sim crafted for fans seeking heartfelt romance in a genre often dominated by male-centric content. Centered on Karamatsu Matsuno from *Osomatsu-san*, this short but endearing experience was developed in just one month by Fiona McCauley, Jeremy Yan, and a dedicated team at SFU for IAT 445 Spring 2024. Fully voice-acted with authentic flair—thanks to @makuta-tobi on Tumblr—this Unity-powered VR project marks the team's first deep dive into virtual reality and 3D development. Despite technical hurdles with Blender, rigging, and last-minute facial animations, the result is a quirky, imperfectly lovable tribute to Karamatsu's cringey yet relatable charm. True fans will appreciate the inside jokes, even if the cookies never made it into the build. It's janky, it's heartfelt, and it's unmistakably made with passion.
