Hi All! Got a really cool opportunity here I think many of you will be interested in!
Quick Description: Project Living Cities
Players are situated on mobile or PC in either real world locations or the a digital twin of those same locations where they can interact in multiple ways from minigames and PVP, to NPC quests and collectables, to streaming and talking. The goal is to create a truly immersive online environment to enable new forms of expression and interaction.
Includes
- Interactive sandbox setting giving players the ability to be creative
- Uniquely HD environments powered by Unreal Engine 5
- AR/VR support from PC
- Easy to learn controls for multiple userbases
The game features multiple different elements for real world locations where players interact in different ways, depending on if they are in the real world or the virtual one. Ie, virtual players have different items or weapons loadouts in PvP to real-life players. They want to migrate this to more AR/VR environments when the technology comes more readily usable, but for now it’s playable on PC and Mobile.
