The Game:

The players' task is to gain access to the castle and the King's Hall.

The game starts in the Guards' Room, where the guard tells the plot of the game and the player learns to move in the virtual space. 

The game centers around the Ingeborg Tott statue, standing 7 meters tall, that comes alive in the Artillery room.  The player's task is to bring gifts to the offering table and do the tasks she commands them to. The player's success in the missions determines whether the awakened warlord is pleased or enraged.

The game ends in the King's Hall, where a successful performance on part of the player is rewarded with nobility and riches, but the unlucky one ends up as a poor peasant.

​

The game was developed for Varjo Aero using Unity game engine. I was in charge of programming the game with C# and Unity developing. I also did some of the 3D models e.g. King's Hall, chest and bat.

We jointly as a team created the game design and produced the game. We used motion capture and scanning to bring the medieval objects and Ingeborg alive.

​

3D point clouds were cleaned using ReCap and Meshroom. Ingeborg Tott's movements were captured using the Xsens Motion Capture suit by actress Alma Pöysti. 

The guard's character is an armour belonging to the National Museum. The team scanned the armour, using an ArtecLeo 3D scanner, to get the best reference for the 3D model of the guard.
