High Concept Statement
Everyone who has ever been shopping by himself has probably experienced the panic of a speedy
checkout employee who scans way faster than you are able to pack. We decided to make a competition
out of that, in VR! One person must scan the items, the other one has to pack. All of this is paired with
wacky VR physics for extra comical effect. If the packer manages to pack all items in time, they win! (And
are probably ready to return to real life stores for a rematch). Otherwise, the scanner is victorious, once
again. It is a game with simple tasks so that anyone with a VR headset can join and have fun.
Core mechanics
Scanner: find barcodes or codes and scan them.
Packer: pack all items in time (no spills!)
Feature set:
• Procedurally generated textures for items to randomize barcode placements.
• Items and bags of different shapes
• Players are static which is optimal for the VR gameplay
• Wacky, unrealistic physics
• Story/quests for possible expansion
Screenshots from Shopping Simulator, Moving Out (comic use of physics), Tuoyawon (gamejam game we helped
make in the past, similar aesthetics with low poly objects, Checkout FAST should be more colorful)
Player experience goals:
• Have fun while also feeling the time pressure
• Sense of accomplishment
• Bonding with friends (or ruining their friendship?)
Compelling aspects
Checkout FAST is a gamification of something a lot of people can relate to and are possibly frustrated
with. This can bring a bit of comedy into a very mundane task.
