How can a virtual reality social game developed by a startup feel like a traditional console game?
Since its existence, social elements are a core part of the game. In the past, the players had gathered on the floor of the living room to play "Reality Moment," and now there has been a change. When playing "Call of Duty," players will use headsets to communicate. Virtual reality developers also understand that social elements are very important, but they are not quite sure which social form virtual reality games should adopt.
Kite & Lightning Studio from Los Angeles is trying a solution. We previously reported that this virtual reality studio completed a $2.5 million round of seed rounds and plans to develop a unique virtual reality social game that will make the player a baby who is eager to fight.
Bebylon: Battle Royale is a game in the game. The background of the story is that humans have discovered elixir, so people no longer get old and stay in the baby's stage. Players will fight in a Colosseum-style fighting field. You need to attack your opponent as much as possible and humiliate your opponent. Ikrima Elhassan, executive director and co-founder of Kite & Lightning, compared it to "Nintendo Star Wars" and "Street Fighter." The arena is located in the world of the kingdom of Babylon. Players can also wander around and find places to gamble, perform and ride.
Bebylon: Battle Royale blends narrative stories with interactivity.
Bebylon: Battle Royale is a shared world. Fighter Warriors and even the audience are real players. You can interact with pedestrians on the street, or throw weapons and other tempting items to the fighting warriors. The heart of this game is the social experience.
Elhassan said: “We have the opportunity to go deep into the world creation and film story and create a universe that we think exists only in virtual reality.â€
There were a few studios that had tried to make virtual reality social, and these were possible: "Oculus built Toybox," a shared space where you can play toys and building blocks on your desktop with your friends; "AltspaceVR" Provides a digital venue for avatars to interact with users in a virtual role. Companies like High Fidelity and Linden Lab are hoping to create a continuous virtual world, just like the virtual reality described by science fiction and film.
"Bebylon: Battle Royale" feels more like a host social game. Players all know how to play this type of game.
Frank Biocca, a human-computer interaction researcher at Syracuse University, said: Compared with computer monitors, virtual reality can more effectively transfer users to another world. Biocca also wrote the book "Communication in the Age of Virtual Reality." Adding social elements to the virtual reality experience can greatly improve user immersion.
Biocca said: "The user's presence is enhanced. If they know these roles, if they know who these virtual avatars are, then they will have a greater sense of belonging to this virtual environment."
Elhassan and Cory Strassburger worked in the film industry before setting up Kite & Lightning in 2013. After the establishment of the studio, they created the popular virtual reality experience "Senza Peso" and experience content created for other business partners. Elhassan said that they have conducted many short projects, which led them to discover what works in virtual reality and what does not work.
They believe that the interaction between games and movies is the starting point of virtual reality. Bebylon: Battle Royale combines story narrative and interactivity to allow players to explore as much as they can.
High Fidelity and Linden Lab's virtual world have their own place. Biocca believes that multiple social worlds that can provide different environments will also have their own living space. Kite & Lightning currently does not intend to allow players to make any major adjustments to the game world, but they encourage players to customize their own character image.
What's more important is the preservation of narrative that can provide a strong sense of immersion. The world of Bebylon: Battle Royale tells a story, and the game invites you and your friends to visit.
Elhassan said: "Virtual reality allows us to achieve this in an unprecedented way."
