Creature Unites Industry Veterans With New VR Game Studio

Creature is a new studio and label that’s uniting VR veterans. More info:

Developed by Creature, Starship Home marks the studio’s debut game since its founding last year. It turns your living room into a starship using MR passthrough, and you’ll embark on an interplanetary expedition that involves collecting, nurturing, and befriending alien plants who need care across the galaxy. Promising a narrative-driven story where you investigate the sinister blight affecting these plants, here’s the announcement trailer:

Starship Home uses the 3D scene mesh generated by Quest 3 during mixed reality room setup to position virtual objects on your walls and furniture, and that’s likely why it’s not launching on older headsets. While Quest 2 and Quest Pro let you manually mark out your walls and furniture as rectangular cuboids, this is an arduous and imprecise process. Furthermore, Quest 2’s passthrough is very low-resolution black and white.

“Building a rich, meaningful, and forward looking mixed reality experience requires features that are only available on Quest 3,” Creature founder Doug North Cook told UploadVR. “Starship Home is our attempt at making a mixed reality game that moves beyond just being a demo, a toy, or a prototype and lays the groundwork for what games in mixed reality can be – responsive to your environment, rich and engaging, and full of magic. Our hope is that we see more devices moving forward that enable this type of gameplay.”
