Power Tools Releases
October 18, in the year of our Lord 2017 --
Let off some serious steam, whilst honing your sculpting skills,
as you grapple with a series of fully realised power tools
including drills, axes and chainsaws! Liverpool-based games
developer, Onteca, releases its latest VR toy, ‘Power Tools’,
this October (2017.) The game allows you to step out of reality
and straight into your own virtual workshop.
Power Tools is an immersive, room-scale VR experience that gives
you the thrill of chopping, lopping, hacking, slicing and
shaping a block, with a range of power tools in your very own
workshop. How you tackle the task is up to you! Go for a full
on, stress-busting blast of aggression or take a more considered
approach by fine-tuning your sculpting prowess - you could
sculpt a face, a tree, a car…or you could just drill!
Draw with Power Tools - the predecessor to the VR toy - enjoyed
success as an Android game. It was the iOS number 1 title in
Switzerland and in the top ten in 11 other countries.
Of Powertools’ UK release, Onteca’s Chief Executive, Jon
Wetherall, said: “We’re really excited to be launching this
product in the UK and think it has a natural audience here. When
we designed the toy, we wanted to create something that offered
some of the creative possibilities of products like Tiltbrush
and MasterpieceVR but with more humour and excitement.”
Power Tools combines both adrenaline rush and artistic outlet.
The crisp graphics (if you tire of drilling, you can gaze out of
the window at the countryside) and fully responsive tools, make
it an exciting and interactive experience.
Onteca is based in Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle, at the heart of
city’s growing tech quarter. The company produces phone apps,
computer games and VR games.
