Clashing Realms



Description

Clashing Realms is a demo for a game that points out how to convert ordinary parts of real world topology into good looking generative in-game graphics. The game uses GPS coordinates to place your character in the virtual reality according to your own position in the real world.

In the virtual reality you are able to interact with the different types of regions (city, forest, land and water) and gather resources, craft new items or just take a rest to regenerate your energy. You can even build up structures to improve your yield in their vicinity.

Clashing Realms augments the real world. You can only move your character in the game when you get up and move your own body and your mobile phone.
