Description
Cures and Curios is a virtual reality game using the HTC Vive set in a mystical take on the Old West, where the player inhabits an old fashioned medicine show cart in the center of a small pioneer town. Each day, the player must concoct a variety of potions for the locals that come to their shop. As your potion-making skills grow, so does your options, with new recipes, ingredients, tools, and rewards.
History
As a student team, we wanted to create a unique VR experience as our final project here at DigiPen, taking advantage of our opportunity to explore emerging technologies. This game started in our Junior Year, where the use of the HTC Vive was ironed out, but has been extended into a senior project devoted to developing a more refined environment and experience.
