What is your favorite game, and do you have any fond memories, that you wouldn't mind sharing? So, my absolute favorite game of all time, . would probably be Prey 2017 from Arkane Studios. It's a really immersive game, that puts you into a first person perspective. While you explore the space station, you'll encounter all these mimic aliens,. that could be human, but you can never know. There are multiple endings, and it's really a very open-ended game. You can start at any level! To those, who haven't tried, you might like it a lot!. It's a stealth oriented, first person game, that takes place in space. So, Kevin, are you going to do a game demo for us now?, Oh yes! I'm ready to do a demo for you! This is our Zeus VR casino game! Right now, our player, Mindy, is at at the login page..
When you log in for the first time, there'll be a quick tutorial., She'll start the game for you! Okay! So first, it tells you what gestures, and controls there is,. so you'd know how to navigate, and how to change the settings, and so on. Then click 'NEXT', and go 'BACK' on it! Our Mindy is carefully reading the rules. Here's the rules for chip selection. The gestures, and/or controls shows how you can grab a stack,. or a single piece of these chips. And also how you can place a bet. Here's a demonstration of the betting, where you can select the betting area, by doing a thumbs up. You can also look at Mindy's gestures,, to see how the navigation works in practice. You can pick where you want to go... You can also make all kinds of hand gestures in game, because everything's motion sensor based., No physical controllers needed! She's picking out her favorite avatar setup, changing its hair style, clothing, and so on. There'll be merchandise options with seasonal, and limited drops.. So players are encouraged, to collect the newest items, and to stay in trend,. and feel fashionable. Altogether to express themselves. And here's Mindy's new look! And now, it looks like she's heading to one of the slot machines. Right now, in the game, we have three different themes for the slot machines,, and this one is the pirate themed slot machine! As you can see, there's an auto play/spin function, and Mindy is now raises her bet. On the left side, you will see an 'I' icon, . which has all the information you need with a press of a button. You can also view your betting history with it. On the leftmost side, the button with the 'DOOR' sign, is for quitting the game,. and going back to the lobby. You can see her, waving, and saying hi, to other ingame players,, and NPCs (Non-Player Character). She has won! And so she decided that it's time to quit after winning big. Mindy is joining the roulette table now. You can see that the player can get up closer to look at the roulette spins. and the simulation of the physics. Above the roulette wheel, there's a countdown. , The timer will turn red 5 seconds before the wheel starts to spin. And that's the scoreboard! It's always exciting to see the landing of a roulette ball! And here, she's using the instantenous join feature. Where she can instantly hop to a different table,. without having to navigate through the lobby first. She is playing solo at a blackjack table right now. And she's picking up the chips, and placing a bet. The cards are being dealt. Mindy dislikes the cards dealt to her. You can see the players, and NPCs (Non-Player Character),
cheering for you, from other tables. Sometimes NPCs will come by the table and look over your shoulder,, to make you feel like they're cheering you on, and enjoying the game with you. And that's a quick function key, to leave the table. It's in front of you on the table, and made to look like an physical button. And here, she's just sightseeing around the casino lobby. She's headed to the bar it seems. There will be interactable drinks and cigar options added in the future,, but right now, the bar is empty. Here she's hanging out with some NPCs,, and the lobby is looking pretty crowded. She's back at the roulette table again. Right now, in Zeus VR Casino, we have 6 games. We have baccarat, poker, blackjack, crabs, roulette, and slots. And more games to come, so stay tuned! What does responsible gaming mean in your words, and what can a game developer studio do, to support that? I think responsible gaming means, is to play games on your own terms, and never be played by the games, as in, taking over your life, and ruining relationships.. It's easy to immerse yourself in a game, because that's the point. We want a way to getaway. It's escapism!. I like to immerse myself in all kinds of situations. But at the end of the day, we have to also mind our own, real life relationships with other people, our family, and our loved ones. So that's what responsible gaming means for me. How do you ensure, that the games are fair,, in terms of the RNG (Random Number Generator)? We pride ourselves, as a blockchain game studio in this industry.. Because, for us, all the records are verified and stored on the blockchain, forever.. So all the data remains safe! This is how we ensure fairness in our studio. What is your message, for those who haven't tried your games yet,, and for those, who are already enjoying it? Check out and ! . You can try our games! Most of them are pretty much free to play, and they are really fun! It might be the new, refreshing thing, that you are looking for! For those, who are already playing our games:, Thank you so much for all your support, and definitely keep a lookout! We have a lot more on the way, and hopefully, we will usher in a new way of gaming for the world! So please! Stay tuned!,
