The XR Magazine VR experiences and Literature with Jacek Debowski
Our guest on The XR MAG Show today is The CEO of Ovid Works, Creators of Interkosmos and Interkosmos 2000 for VR, Interkosmos is a challenging mini-adventure of astronomical proportions - in VR! Meet Jacek Debowski, an independent video game developer based in Warsaw, Poland.
Ovid Works was founded in 2015 as a side project motivated by the team's love of games and literature. Through Metamorphosis, a game that was influenced by the writings of Franz Kafka, the development team aimed to enhance the relationship between interactive gameplay and traditional storytelling.
The first game was the whimsical 2017 VR adventure Interkosmos, which put players in the cockpit of a Soviet space capsule plummeting toward earth. Our next game Metamorphosis was a first-person puzzle-platformer set in surrealist landscapes, where you’ll play as a tiny bug.
I’m glad Jacek Debowski, agreed to take some time out of their schedule to talk and share his experience on the XR Magazine show!
