Adapt filter (migraine simulator) into VR / phone game (simple)

https://yogyog.org/migraine-simulator/ This is a simulation of one of my migraines. Can I get a quote on converting it into a VR game, and/or a phone/tablet game? The idea is to turn this into either : * A VR game (so you can wear the VR helmet, and it will simulate you having a migraine) * A phone/tablet game (making use if the tablet's camera, filtering the videofeed so you can see yourself as though through a migraine) Right now I'm just after a quote for the VR game, the tablet game, and both. As you can tell, I see a snake of chevrons that starts in the centre of my vision, and spreads outwards. These chevrons are based on the colours you can see, but with the saturation turned up. I can provide the animation of this snake a video in the form of a UV map, with the blue channel being the alpha (if blue is 0 then unfiltered, if blue is 1 the filtered) at whatever resolution and frame-rate. bonus can-we-do-that question .... in VR, can it move with your eye movement? Does VR track eye movement (I don't know) See you soon, Mike

Two diaries needed created

**PLEASE NOTE! THE FILES ARE NOT THE DIARY/READING JOURNAL. IT IS INFORMATION ON WHAT IS NEEDED IN EACH! THE DIARY IS NOT 20 PAGES LONG. PEOPLE KEEP LOOKING AT THE FILE AND THINKING THAT'S THE ENTIRE THING. IT'S A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT I NEED.** I'm looking for either two separate people or one person to make both. I need a diary and a reading journal, they need to reflect dark romance. Please see the files for the full breakdown of what is needed in each one! These needs creating and formatting ready to print! Ideally, I would like there to be some sort of image on the pages, faded, and just about able to be seen so it's not blank. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CAN DO THIS! The last person I hired generated it with AI (yellow pages, crap images) and they also refused to do the images as the background faded.

Game Layout Artists to visual facelift a card game prototype

I am seeking a Dextrous-proficient designer (or an experienced board game enthusiast with high-end aesthetic taste) to provide a professional visual facelift for a deck of training cards. The deck is aimed to be used as an exercise for process improvement and project management trainings. The project is currently in a "Functional Prototype" stage. All logic, mechanics, images, and text have been finalized within Dextrous. However, the current layout uses basic rectangular text zones, standard borders, and lacks the "premium aesthetic" required to engage training participants. I am NOT looking for image generation, content writing, or game mechanical changes. I need you to take the existing amateurish "raw" content and make it look elegant, sophisticated and professional. Specific Requirements: - Dextrous Expertise: You must be comfortable working within the Dextrous.com layout engine (managing layers, style inheritance, and dynamic text). - The "Board Game" Eye: You don’t need a degree in design, but you must understand what makes a "good-looking" card. You should have experience playing or handling modern, high-quality board games (e.g., Everdell, Scythe, Love Letter, Berserk, Libertalia or high-end TCGs). - Managing Density: These cards are text-heavy by design. The challenge is to make/keep this text readable and inviting without cutting a single word. This is an educational tool, not a commercial product. - Discretion & Confidentiality: The content of these cards represents internal corporate training methodology and specific process "pain points." As a requirement, the successful candidate must exercise absolute discretion. This means the specific text, data, and internal terminology used in the deck must be treated as confidential and may not be shared, reproduced, or featured in public portfolios or case studies without explicit written consent. Key Deliverable: template modernization. Redesign the base Layout of the 2 most common cards in Dextrous. With your skills it shouldn't take more than an hour. Maybe another hour to fully grasp the concept and to do some follow up changes This is a non-commercial, educational project aimed at improving the way professionals learn to solve problems. If you love board game design and have a "minimalist/pro" style, this is a clean, structured project with all content ready to go.
