- 120Hz is out now! - 1 June 2021
Cortopia Studios just turned 5 years old today! In addition to exciting new game announcements in the near future, we continue to push the technical aspect of our top-rated game, Down the Rabbit Hole, into a stunning 120Hz, one of only a handful of VR games. This allows for a remarkable level of immersion as you experience the beauty of Wonderland. 120Hz makes the game feel much smoother. Once you try out the game with this update, you will notice the difference right away. Don't forget to enable "120 Hz Refresh Rate" in the Experimental Features section of the Quest 2 settings for the game to run in 120Hz! To celebrate our anniversary, we'll not only release the 120Hz update but also do a giveaway on our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). Happy birthday to us, and happy update day to you all!
- Let's have a cup of tea! - 21 May 2021
Did you know that the tea party has some social significance? In the Victorian Age (Alice in Wonderland was written in this time), tea parties were commonplace, particularly for the higher classes, allowing them to flaunt their cultural and intellectual highness. They were also good occasions for discussing agreements or finding out the most urgent news from around the world - or other neighborhoods. In Alice's story in Wonderland, the tea party is different. It is complete chaos without rules and without any kind of cultural or social pressure. This chaotic tea party is called The Mad Hatter's Tea Party. All the characters present at the party can and do act just as they want
- The Mirror Realm - 19 May 2021
It's such a disorienting, yet magical place. You can never know what comes next, but you have to go on to solve the puzzles and get out of this surreal realm. You are in the right place if you want to know more about the Mirror Realm. Today, we’ll reveal some technical background on creating this scene. The Mirror Realm was quite tricky to get right. It was hard to get the player to know where the character would end up when they went through doors. In the end, we opted for camera cuts to focus the player's attention. Turns out, running upside down is quite disorienting, so we decided to keep that to a minimum. We wanted to have a clean cut between day and night like in the Disney movie, but we simply didn’t have time and it was more technically demanding than we originally thought. In the end, we decided against it. The Mirror Realm was very complicated with the implemented system. It…
- 5 things you didn't know about Down the Rabbit Hole - 7 May 2021
Creating this unique game we went through some hard times, we made changes and created time-consuming little details that make Down the Rabbit Hole so charming. We gathered 5 interesting facts that you didn't know about Down the Rabbit Hole. So let's see what these are: - There was supposed to be a room under the kitchen with a bunch of drawers but it was cut due to time constraints - All the textures in the game have a high level of hand-painted details - The Upside Down world was really tricky to make - our heroine’s Cloak was tricky to not go upside down - In early versions of the game, you could turn into a mouse by drinking a potion - Originally, you moved the characters by hand. You would grab them and show them the way. We hope to give you more interesting details on creating the game in the future. But until then, See you in Wonderland!
- On creating Down the Rabbit Hole’s characters - 5 May 2021
In Down the Rabbit Hole, you can meet lots of memorable characters during your journey through Wonderland. They were all created with love and with special care for every single detail. We asked our 2D graphic artists, Alex Bengtsson and Max Huusko, what they think about the characters: What is your favorite character from the game and why? - Alex: Probably the King of Spades. I love all his dialogues with his "smart" friends. I've been watching some players do a playthrough on YouTube and I love that so many seem to share that with me! - Max: 4 1/2, I love all his card puns! Tell us more about making this favorite character of yours: - Alex: (Probably the King of Spades) I wasn't part of the final design, although I did some sketches of him in early pre-production. I remember making an early sketch of him, where his throne was a large stand-in with a pattern of a King of Spades-card. I…
- Welcome to the Cheshire Cat Forest! - 23 April 2021
Welcome to the Cheshire Cat Forest! The Forest is a dark place with the sun peeking through to show you the way out. You can see gloomy, mysterious, and cold details of the Forest in the background, while the other parts of the scene are quite cheerful with warm tones. This is definitely one of our favorite scenes in the game. Did you know that the Cheshire Cat Forest was the first area we finished and was used as a demo during conventions? After extensive playtesting of that area, we cut down the amount of dialogue and made the maze less confusing.
