00:00:00.770 --> 00:00:02.770
Oblivion...

00:00:04.474 --> 00:00:07.378
You will not be able to keep your mind safe much longer.

00:00:10.814 --> 00:00:12.919
Your temple has been compromised

00:00:13.048 --> 00:00:15.769
your memories... stolen.

00:00:19.948 --> 00:00:22.539
It’s time for you to leave this labyrinth

00:00:23.201 --> 00:00:26.181
your fragmented soul need to escape.

00:00:28.445 --> 00:00:30.445
The corruption is spreading

00:00:30.838 --> 00:00:33.668
mankind is on the verge of extinction.

00:00:33.814 --> 00:00:37.840
You…  are one of the last hopes we have.

00:00:39.158 --> 00:00:41.234
Rise and shine Revenant

00:00:41.780 --> 00:00:43.969
find your lost pieces

00:00:44.625 --> 00:00:46.625
find the path!

00:01:46.582 --> 00:01:48.582
Hi! I am Giacomo

00:01:48.584 --> 00:01:50.584
one of the founders of Stormborn Studio.

00:01:50.584 --> 00:01:53.680
Our personal adventure starts more than 3 years ago

00:01:53.805 --> 00:01:56.040
with a dream... and a lot of passion!

00:01:56.715 --> 00:01:59.754
The first time we tried an Oculus DK1, was an eye opener.

00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:01.980
There was... no way back.

00:02:02.010 --> 00:02:04.147
At that point, we decided to make a game

00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.239
for Virtual Reality from the ground up

00:02:07.189 --> 00:02:09.949
Runes was conceived with a main concept in mind:

00:02:10.086 --> 00:02:12.359
being able to cast spells

00:02:12.389 --> 00:02:14.389
by physically moving your hands in the air.

00:02:15.443 --> 00:02:17.550
The ultimate wizard immersion.

00:02:20.006 --> 00:02:22.270
We were inspired by games like Skyrim

00:02:22.330 --> 00:02:24.908
that give you that sense of raw power wielding

00:02:25.115 --> 00:02:27.115
and by deep stories like

00:02:27.116 --> 00:02:29.116
"The longest journey " or  "Game of thrones"

00:02:29.169 --> 00:02:32.909
that create strong emotional bonds between the audience and the characters.

00:02:33.381 --> 00:02:35.381
We wanted Runes to be

00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.908
a single player experience conveying all of these qualities.

00:02:39.707 --> 00:02:41.707
We made a first Vive prototype

00:02:41.789 --> 00:02:43.789
and it felt great.

00:02:43.830 --> 00:02:45.830
We knew we were on the right track.

00:02:46.169 --> 00:02:48.917
The only thing left was to quit our jobs

00:02:48.918 --> 00:02:50.918
and open the studio.

00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.588
Do… or do not.

00:02:53.723 --> 00:02:55.723
There is no TRY.

00:02:56.689 --> 00:02:59.129
Vr games like "The gallery" inspired us further.

00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.945
That deep sense of wonder, discovery and puzzle solving

00:03:02.947 --> 00:03:04.947
is what we are aiming for.

00:03:04.948 --> 00:03:07.637
A story driven adventure that unveils in front of you.

00:03:08.270 --> 00:03:10.270
The world we are building

00:03:10.271 --> 00:03:12.429
is consistent with what your senses expect

00:03:12.770 --> 00:03:14.868
which is fundamental in a VR experience.

00:03:15.700 --> 00:03:17.700
Beyond that we developed

00:03:17.701 --> 00:03:20.348
an innovative locomotion system we named 4th WALL

00:03:20.401 --> 00:03:24.920
to transverse long distances by switching to a fixed 3rd person view

00:03:25.082 --> 00:03:27.229
completely eliminating motion sickness

00:03:27.305 --> 00:03:30.383
while adding an extra layer of depth and narration.

00:03:31.995 --> 00:03:34.074
We have been working very hard to finish Runes

00:03:34.074 --> 00:03:36.074
and we are so close.

00:03:36.110 --> 00:03:38.110
The first chapter is coming along very nicely

00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:40.683
and we are only a few months away from completing the game

00:03:40.770 --> 00:03:43.330
with all the environments and the story that we planned

00:03:43.368 --> 00:03:45.378
but... we are running short on funds.

00:03:46.699 --> 00:03:49.987
We need your support to finish this adventu..@#![§*?

00:03:53.076 --> 00:03:55.508
We need your support to finish this adventure

00:03:55.539 --> 00:03:57.739
and provide the immersive experience we imagined.

00:03:58.461 --> 00:04:00.461
Help us acomplish this dream

00:04:00.461 --> 00:04:02.461
so we can share it with you.

00:04:02.518 --> 00:04:04.518
=)
