Radial Games & Northway Games
Radial Games and Northway Games are small startups run primarily from our home offices in Vancouver. We've teamed up and jumped into the world of room-scale VR with our whimsical building game Fantastic Contraption. Create life-sized contraptions as tall as you can reach, then send them whirling, flinging, and trundling off to solve puzzles on the other side of a floating island. There are no right or wrong solutions, so bring your creativity.
Futuretown
Futuretown, a virtual reality technology company based in Taipei, Taiwan and Vancouver, Canada, was founded by Johan Yang (CEO and Co-Founder) and Justin Liebregts (CTO and Co-Founder) in 2010. The two founders met while studying 3D technology and design at Simon Fraser University. Johan joined Rainmaker Visual Effects after graduation where he worked on 3D digital effects for Hollywood films while Justin pursued a career in game development at Electronic Arts. With their passion, extensive knowledge, and experience working in the film and video game industries, the two founders decided to focus their efforts on utilizing state of the art virtual reality technology to create experiences that have never been done before. Their efforts culminated with the release of 3 successful virtual reality games.
A-10 VR combines stunning graphics with accessible gameplay to introduce players of all ages and skill levels to the possibilities of virtual reality. A-10 VR has been geared towards users trying VR for the first time, although sharp shooters will be able to spend hours mastering their gun play.
