Playing this at the XR Stage at BUAS was nothing short of breathtaking!
I had been following the project since its early stages and was already impressed with how the game designers turned into mechanical engineers and created little steering wheels and interactive cannons as actual, physical controllers...but never would I have imagined them creating a complete theme park ride!
There were huge, interactive cannons, an anchor, a steering wheel and a hammer to fix your damaged ship components!
I loved how you moved away from the somewhat generic pirate theme and went for greek mythology - the player now sails along the Styx river whilst dodging the attacks of the dead.
One of a kind project right here!⚓
