Today we received the happy news that we’ve been granted the Experiment subsidy from the Creative Industries Fund NL, for our project “Living Social Landscape”. This subsidy will allow us to continue the work on one of our innovations: a simulation of a virtual social world that functions autonomously. We’re very grateful for this opportunity and are looking forward to updating you with the results along the way!
Even though everyone’s been working from home, we haven’t been idle here at Virtual Play. We’ve been working on a series of minigames, as well as research & development on concepts for some innovative pieces of software. More about those soon!
In the past year we’ve been busy developing a future simulation game for ProRail. Virtual Play created an interactive 3D world that shows how your city will develop to the year 2050, based on the decisions you make for the railways. The game is finished and we’re proud of the result!
An extra special detail: the world is procedurally generated, so it’s different with each play session. Our traffic system will ensure that all your vehicles – whether contemporary or futuristic ones – stick to the traffic rules.
For the Dutch Transplant Organisation we made a game about organ donation. Find the right matches for the organs. Time is ticking!
The game is displayed as part of a permanent exhibit in Corpus Museum: Journey through the human body. The museum has been closed because of Corona measures, but it’s expected that the doors can open again soon for visitors. Our exhibits, new and old, are ready!
Virtual Play has developed an educational game for the Nevobo (Dutch Volleyball Association). With this game you can train yourself to recognize positioning errors on the playing field. A great tool for referees in training, but also for players themselves.
“Position Fault!” is now available for free on mobile devices, on the Apple App Store and Google Play: http://onelink.to/umtjqr

We are currently working on a game for ProRail. Virtual Play is making an interactive 3D world that shows what the world will look like in 2050 for the railways, based on the decisions you take now and in the following years.

At this moment we are busy working on building a procedurally generated virtual city, including a traffic system. For what purpose? We can’t reveal that yet. What we can tell you is that it’s for an assignment for an applied game. More news in December!
