Details: With the upcoming showcase festival for the semester on the mind, our team was tasked with building a game in two weeks that would appeal to wide audiences. To that end, we built an immersive, story-book inspired puzzle game using a Makey-Makey-wired book and Playstation Move for controls and the Cave Automatic Virtual Environment for display. The puzzle asks two players to work together—one controlling the world with the book, and one the wanderer with the PS move - to lead the wanderer on a journey to collect the stars in all six worlds. I was producer and level designer.
Little Wanderer's Wish was selected to be one of 13 games out of a pool of 80 to be used for the 2017 ETC Festival. We constructed a custom screen to fit our assigned room and adapted the game accordingly.
