Eiche calls it a “technical nightmare, but worth solving.” ![]() The physical space has to be believable not just with one person running around in it and interacting with objects, but multiple. And we are experimenting with those things.”īut with experimentation comes a whole host of technical challenges. “But people haven't conceptualized: we're playing a duet on the piano, the equivalent to that, or we're writing together on a whiteboard or we're sculpting together. “VR multiplayer in the current state, which is totally great and fine, is a lot like, I lay on my floor and shoot you with a big sniper rifle, or I'm flying around an arena throwing the ball,” Eiche explains. Specifically, they tell me, they want to work on multiplayer play that’s collaborative, not competitive, because they believe it just works that much better in the VR space specifically. Hand tracking technology, for instance, is progressing well, and is a major staple of Owlchemy’s plans for multiplayer play in its upcoming new, untitled VR game. Speaking to me at DICE, the two are ecstatic about the leaps and bounds Owlchemy and VR as a whole have been able to make over the years. And it’s a legacy Reimer is deeply proud of as he steps down from the post of “CEOwl” to move into philanthropic work using climate tech to fight the ongoing global climate crisis, leaving his colleague Andrew Eiche as the new “CEOwl” in his stead. But in VR, this sort of combination of simplicity and playfulness has been the successful brand of Owlchemy Labs for over 12 years. It’s a simple gesture, one that any of us could do in the real world any time there are donuts around. But instead of reaching out and taking it with his hand, the developer passed Reimer the donut and put it in his mouth. However, you’ll also earn money for each successfully completed mission that can be spent on upgrading your transport and turning it into an advanced vehicle of the kind capable of washing off even real heaps of trash in a minute that would have taken days to get rid of otherwise.A few weeks ago, Devin Reimer was doing a bunch of game testing at VR developer Owlchemy Labs, when one of the developers asked him, in VR, if he would like a donut. ![]() ![]() The contaminations you’ll have to deal with will become more serious and it will take you more time to handle them. Your task is to arrive at another destination, turn on your device and watch this fragment of the city turning clean and shiny again!

It will be equipped with a powerful water hydrant that will be simply washing all the trash off the streets. In PowerWash Simulator, your job is to make sure this beautiful virtual town is properly cleansed of all the rubbish! Time to get rid of all that trash!įor that purpose, you’ll have a special kind of transport that you can ride around the map heading for the dirtiest spots that should be taken care of as soon as possible. And if you don’t take care of keeping the city clean, it will quickly turn into a contaminated and disgusting place where it’s impossible to live.
