If you’ve ever dreamed of playing sports in zero gravity, then our latest addition to Europa Prime is just for you. Introducing "Sports in Space", a VR experience that brings the excitement of competitive games into the vastness of space, all within the setting of our Europa Prime space station.
In Sports in Space, multiple players can engage in an array of futuristic mini-games, each uniquely adjusted for adaptable-gravity conditions and the high-tech environment of the station. Whether you’re a seasoned pro at VR sports or just looking for some fun with friends, there’s something for everyone.
Here's how it works:
In the middle of the room lies a holographic gravity selection interface. Once a user chooses an orb (Earth's Moon, Europa, Mars, Earth, Jupiter, etc.) the gravity in the room changes for everyone.
What games can we expect to find:
While we frequently add, (sometimes remove), and even more frequently adapt the environment, you'll find an array of entertaining games currently found on Earth in 2024, as well as a few special adaptions to make them more interesting.
The mini-games and experiences you can try currently include:
Gravi-toss
This game is an adaption of corn-hole. Users must pick-up and throw holographic bags into holographic target holes. As you progress the gravity becomes stronger, making it the perfect starter game in our virtual sports arena.
Space-Ping-Pong
Forget the earthbound version of table tennis! Without the usual restraints of Earth baesd gravity to hold you down, the ball floats in wild trajectories, and players have to use both strategy and quick reflexes to keep up. Expect more than just traditional table tennis, as your surroundings constantly shift, creating unpredictable challenges.
Gravity Well
This experience allows you to roll objects around a gravity pit, akin to a blackhole. You can use special ramps, or just launch objects yourself into the specially adapted well. Play around, tray various objects, and learn the effect of space-time first-hand, along with how various gravity options affect the path and velocity as you launch, bend, and toss objects through space. Players will use the effects of gravity to test both coordination and creative problem-solving in a futuristic twist on sports physics.
Ball Ramps
A new kind of dynamic obstacle course, Ball Ramps involves navigating a series of ramps and platforms while in our adjustable gravity room. Players must guide the ball through their custom developed floating maze, using advanced controls and teamwork to reach the goal.
Space Basketball & Baseball
These classic sports are completely reimagined for space. No gravity means no limits to how you can shoot, pass, or dunk. Space Baseball adds a unique twist by utilizing the vacuum of space to send balls flying at impossible angles and speeds, testing your timing and precision. SPOILER = As a multiplayer sport, you can also affect the shots of your team and opposing team, by using gravity as well as classical techniques.
Holographic Frisbee
In this visually stunning game, you’ll toss and catch glowing holographic discs that bend and warp in real-time, thanks to the holographic technology aboard the space station. With floating targets and changing conditions, every match is a futuristic test of skill.
Why Sports in Space?
Sports in Space isn’t just about having fun; it’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in virtual reality. By taking advantage of adaptable gravity, advanced physics, and a hyper-realistic environment, we’ve created a space where players can fully immerse themselves in futuristic sports like never before.
Whether you’re flying through a basketball game in zero-G or sending a frisbee flying across a holographic arena, Sports in Space offers something new every time you play. It’s the perfect break from the main storyline of Europa Prime, yet it’s deeply integrated into the world we’ve created—allowing you to experience space in ways you’ve never imagined.
Stay tuned for more updates on Sports in Space!
We can’t wait for you to dive into these mini-games and discover the thrill of zero-gravity competition. Grab your VR headset, round up your friends, and get ready to redefine what it means to play sports—because in space, the rules are different, and the fun is limitless!
