Idol Hands aims at a piece of the $120bn VR Market Forecast for
2020
New York, N.Y. -- May 2, 2017 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Pocket
Games, Inc. is excited to announce that development of its title
Idol Hands will start to go down the Virtual Reality route and work
on making the engine VR capable will begin in earnest later in
2017.
According to a recent report by Digi-Capital, the market is
being driven by the increasing opportunities created by consumers
who are more willing to invest in hardware which is VR capable.
Moreover, manufacturers are starting to make a VR-Spec the defacto
chipset, meaning that consumers will soon no longer need to choose
VR as hardware will, by default, be VR-Ready.
Originally developed in partnership with Intel and distributed
as an OEM title with Creative Labs Senz3D, Idol Hands is a God
Strategy Game whereby the player takes the role of a God and
gradually takes over a land, populates it with his people and
builds farms, temples, workshops, garrisons and houses. Set in a
fantastical tropical island world where the player has God-like
powers over volcanoes, earthquakes and meteors as well as having
the responsibility to make sure his people, the Furlings, grow and
prosper when faced with evil Gods from other worlds.
CEO, David Lovatt, stated that: Idol Hands lends itself to VR
Gameplay naturally and, in fact, has a history of VR with the
special camera it was developed for originally the Creative Labs
cameras and the Intel Senz3D chip that recognized movements. This
meant the user did not need to make use of the keyboard, but in
fact the camera recognised the users hand movements. The
opportunities to explore how we can take this further are exciting
not just from a game play point of view, but because the market in
VR is set to explode over the coming months and years
Pocket Games recently announced that it was relaunching its
Kicksend Photo Printing App. The relaunch has been delayed as they
await for Facebook to clear the backlog of reviews they have which
was caused by a system malfunction. The glitch meant that
significantly more than the usual amount of reviews to be thrown
into the system leaving a huge delay. Pocket Games expects that
this process is an any day now event and is simply waiting for the
review to complete. #facebook72hours
