An VR interactive game where you experience a bee’s mission to revive its homeland.
Technical requirements : Meta Quest 2
Bees are important pollinators and play a central role in ecosystems. In the design of the game, we chose several endangered plants that are important for bee activity: black cohosh, American chestnut, fringed orchid, underground orchid and blue-sun-star orchid. And the honey tree in the centre of the garden symbolises the ecology of the whole garden.
In this game, you are a bee who returns home after a long while and finds everything has died in the garden where your hive resides. You pay your last homage with tears in eyes. However, as the tears fall to the ground, the remains miraculously regrow into a beautiful flower. You decide to do the same for the rest. Soon the tears of sorrow turn to tears of joy, as each time a plant is reborn, leaves appear on the honey tree again, and your hive revives. Your garden slowly becomes as lush and marvelous as it was before.
When the player discovers a dead plant, he can be teleported to it by a pinch gesture. If the player allows tears to water the land, the environment will be transformed, which includes the revival of the plant and soil in front of him, as well as the gradual recovery of the honey tree in the centre. When the player revives all the plants, the entire garden revives and the honey tree comes back to life.
The main assets in the game were 3D scanned into the computer and then edited to completion. The revived plants and trees were handmade; other items were collected.
