Inspired by Herman Melville's timeless classic, Saturn Skipper is an HTC Vive experience for PC. Players become Captain Ahab, on his quest to destroy the space whale of Saturn. Armed with his mighty harpoons of lighting, players use the Vive controller to throw light and take down the mighty beast.
Waves inspired how light travels in space in the player's attack, and the sin wave of the whale's movement. We incorporated waves into the environmental art and wake, as the boat travels around Saturn.
