Runbow is now available for download on the Wii U and you should go get it!
The game has been made by graduates from the game design program I teach in at George Brown College. It’s been wonderful seeing this group of (former) students go from wandering into the classroom in 2013 to a game released on Nintendo’s Wii U in 2015.
It’s amazing to see Runbow grow from a nugget of an idea to win Level Up in 2014 and now seeing it released on a console.
You can get the game on the eShop and can be yours for the great price of $14.99!
Stardoz now has Oculus Rift support and you can play it next week in Toronto at Make it Glow, part of the Maker Festival.
Stardoz was made at TOJam and uses an Arduino heartbeat monitor to spawn enemies. You must stay calm and fight off the enemies. Now with Oculus Rift support you can fly around through meta-space with the ability to look around in 360 degrees. Is the game more fun with the Oculus Rift? You’ll have to play it to find out (hint: yes).
I’m still tweaking some of the gameplay and interfaces to make the Oculus Rift experience so much more than the non-VR version.
Playing Stardoz with the Oculus Rift
Make it Glow will have tons of fun exhibits and other oddities to check out!
There’ll be glittery things to gawk at, projects to play with, and science-ness on display. PLUS the evening will be brought to life thanks to Electric Runway – a fashion-meets-technology spectacle featuring smart garments, 3D printed jewelry, brain-sensing headbands, and light-up-everything sourced from makers near and far.
Join us as we sip on sparkles, paint with light, hypnotize our inner-cynic, reignite our maker spirit, and tinker toward a (techni-coloured!) future made by many.
