Development background information
In a unique approach, this content can be experienced in different immersive scale options, depending on the technical and physical limitations of the location presenting the experience.
From a technical perspective, a novel engine-agnostic and flexible open-source virtual production framework was used to realize the multiplayer network aspect of the game.
This is the singleplayer only version. The 8x8m free-roaming or controller-based setup for up to 4 players is currently only to be played on-site at conferences/trade fairs.
Our stylized visual approach is inspired by ancient Greek murals and vases, allowing us to provide the experience with a small footprint in energy consumption and required equipment.
