Organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, ICBC (Asia) e-Sports & Music Festival Hong Kong (EMFHK) 2018 is one of the largest e-sports events in the city. This year the festival takes place from August 24 to 26 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
As a Cyberport company specialising in virtual reality (VR), ButterLabo is more than happy to join the festival, supplying VR experience to the public in the Cyberport zone. This time we showcase an immersive STEM game called Butter Sung that will take players back to the Sung dynasty! The game was an inspiration of a Sung poem, Melody of Green Jadeite Bowl (On the first night of a new year), which depicts scenes and street activities on a Lantern Festival night in the Sung dynasty. The game brings players back to the Sung dynasty in the poem’s setting to experience the Sung lifestyle. So students can learn the poem in a more interactive way.
In the game, players can interact with different stalls on the street, guessing lantern riddles, lighting fireworks, playing pitch-pot games, etc. From the stall activities players can collect clues to find the lover to win. Our exhibition in the e-sports festival showcases the pitch-pot game, a popular drinking game in the ancient China, where players are required to throw arrows from a distance into a Chinese wine pot.
Interactive and diverse, the game will spice up students’ learning experience. Learning aside, the game is a fun cyberphysical experience for all. Do come and join us in Hall 3C at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre!
