An interactive video game on one of the largest cruise ships in the world: With Sasu’s Mystical Quest, Demodern – Creative Technologies realized an exciting, entertaining and technically innovative game adventure for Royal Caribbean International, Miami. Sasu’s Mystical Quest can now be experienced on board the latest Royal Caribbean cruise ship Spectrum of the Seas, which sails exclusively in Asia. The mandate for conception, creation and development of the game was secured by Demodern in an international pitch.
And this is how the game works: On an LED balance board custom made by Demodern, up to four players simultaneously control the main character of the game, Sasu, through his mission in the deep sea. To achieve the highest possible score, the players must balance their weight moving left to right, jumping up and down, collecting gems in the classic jump 'n' run manner, and avoiding obstacles.
Elaborately developed, animated fish swarms, plants and animals in 3D bring the underwater world to life. For example, magical creatures help the player, or Sasu, on his mission – as long as he locates them in the depths of the sea. But dangers are also lurking: If Sasu gets caught in the tentacles of an octopus, for example, the player has to shake until Sasu is free again.
A leaderboard always shows the current high score to be broken. In addition, disabled guests can immerse themselves in the world of Sasu’s Mystical Quest with a barrier-free version that allows the player to control the character with the help of a specially developed controller.
Demodern is responsible for the idea, concept as well as design and technical implementation of the video game developed entirely in the Unity 3D game engine.
