A Small company with big ambitions!

Currently Working on #facility43

🎮 A #indiegame studio from #Manchester that is set on bringing fun, immersive games to #PC, #mobile, and #VR 🎮
We are very happy to show off the concept art for the Lantern in Facility 43!

The lantern was created in the Facility as a project to explore the properties of the bio-luminesent fungi, "Resonant Mycellium", which emits light as a response to sound. Now it's Jamies only tool keeping the dark away.

Work has begun on the sound detection system and, the voice activated lantern, can now detect environmental sound such as throwing and dragging objects!

Can't wait to expand on this system!

The joy of building an interaction system that uses physics is how unexpected things can be

Well done to the very talented winners of our Oldham College brief!

Our gold medal winner has secured a spot in the credits of our upcoming game "Facility 43" and her artwork will be one of the official pieces of concept art for our main threat - Der Jager!

We once again had the pleasure of meeting with the students at Oldham College and provided them with a brief to work on to help further develop their professional skills.

We cannot wait to see what they design!

On the left we have the inventory, on the right are collected notes!
