Otronicon

This past weekend, I spent several hours at a booth promoting FIEA at Otronicon.  This was a very cool science convention that displayed the latest technologies such as virtual reality.  My game VRChaeology was selected to be displayed at the convention.  I was there to run the VR station which ran for the rest of the weekend.  My team spent time over break to prepare our game for the convention at the request from the faculty.  The game was a great hit!  We had people lined up for hours to play.  What was especially rewarding was seeing tiny children have their first VR experience and having a fun time.  Many were 6 or younger.  That was simply incredible.  Seeing your hard work pay off by having people enjoy your game is simply indescribable.  This was a great playtest session with the public and I recorded a great amount of data on how the game could be made easier and more intuitive.  My team plans to further improve VRChaeology for future conventions and perhaps an Steam release.  More to come!
