Seekers & Seers
June 2017
In June 2017, I created Seekers and Seers, an artistic game that involves two players engaging with each other in real-time within a 3D virtual environment, specifically designed for virtual reality (VR). The game can be played either when both players are physically present in the same location or while communicating through voice chat even if they are far apart.
Similar to playing basketball, both the game itself and the individuals you play with contribute to the enjoyment. My intention was to develop a form of computational media game that encompasses fun elements from both the game mechanics and the players involved. Seekers and Seers embodies my endeavor to construct such games, as playing with another person is always enjoyable, especially when it is facilitated in a delightful manner.
Seekers and Seers offers an alternate approach to experiencing VR content. The virtual world is contained within the confines of a phone screen, allowing you to explore expansive new realms while feeling less detached from reality.
When it comes to creating art games, there is a greater scope for creativity compared to other types of games. This liberty to envision radically innovative concepts is what attracts me to art, not just art games.
