A Piece Of The Universe [prototype] by naam

A neatly fenced-off, densely interactive piece of the Universe to potter about in.  #

A Piece Of The Universe is a sense-of-place experiment built entirely in Google Blocks and Unity, made In VR, for VR. It grew out of a mere inkling of an idea about a place, and has been forming itself out of thin air ever since that first bit of kitchen I built in what was supposed to be my vacation in June 2017.
It’s a small place with super-high interactive density, filled with little experiments with the medium, and slowly but surely a narrative is beginning to form.

Grab your collar (under your chin) and stuff that jacket full with anything you can find.

Some elements of the world will inspire you to write a journal report on it.

There’s a fully functional cassetterecorder in there somewhere.

… and parallel worlds to seek out.

Telekinetics for hard-to-reach objects.
All still very much in development!

Also, so chuffed, APOTU was featured on Engadget!
