ALIVE, University of Southern Queensland - The Phoenix Challenge
The Challenge
ALIVE’s challenge was to create an easy accessible online 3D virtual environment and game using the University of Southern Queensland’s campus as the level map. The game was to include authentic elements of University life and give players a short but fun adventure exploring the campus.
The Solution
ALIVE created “The Phoenix Challenge” using Flux Studio, Maya and Rawkee and implemented Ajax3D to keep track of the player’s score and to interact with their database of objects. The player’s objective is to make their way around the campus picking up objects which affect their STRENGTH, SMARTS and STRESS. There is a time limit to complete each level. X3D provided the ability to create a browser based game which students can find by following a URL and after installing the Flux Player, do not require other software on their system and can view other X3D scenes the ALIVE team create.
