Two players clash in Fragments, a multiplayer VR experiment where one dons a headset as an explorator harvesting fragments from an alien planet to rescue their world. The other commands a computer with a top-down view, embodying a spirit that blocks the plunder to defend their own planet. This indie adventure pits resource gathering against protective interference in a tense duel of perspectives.
Crafted by five students from UQAT's Maîtrise en Création Numérique program, the game probes multiplayer dynamics across immersive tech. It draws VR enthusiasts and tech explorers who relish asymmetric battles blending virtual reality with classic controls.
Fragments is a multiplayer experiment in virtual reality.
In Fragments 2 players fight each other to save their planet.
The first player has a virtual reality headset and play an explorator sent to another planet to harvest some fragments that will ultimately help his to save his planet. The second player use a classic computer and play a spirit with a top-down view. To protect his planet the latter has to prevent the explorator to plunder his planet ressources.
This project has been developed by a team of 5 students in “Maîtrise en Création Numérique” at the UQAT (University of Québec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue) fond of virtuality and imaginary inside the new technologies.
Fragments has also been produced as part of a research-creation. Our research problematic is : “Through different immersive technologies, how multiplayer interaction affects the degree of virtuality”. The project goal’s is to question the place of imaginary and technology in the creation of virtuality.
