Project description
We want to design a VR Puzzle game where you use hand gestures in order to solve the puzzles ahead, for people of around ages 10 to 65, that know what it's like to be in VR and are looking for a fun game, solving the puzzles by using spells created by physical hand gestures where the player feels fun by discovery and sensation.
Context
The project falls within the domain of interactive entertainment and virtual reality gaming. It explores the intersection of puzzle-solving, fantasy storytelling, and VR technology. The game leverages advancements in hand-tracking technology to create a unique spellcasting mechanic. It is primarily or entertainment.
Results
The project resulted in Secrets of Ignacios, a VR puzzle game where players explore a magical dungeon, mastering spells through intuitive hand-tracking mechanics. Spells like teleportation, fire, water, air and earth allow players to interact with the environment and solve puzzles, creating an engaging gameplay loop.
Throughout many playtests, we were able to validate the fun of the spellcasting mechanic
