About Archipelago: Navigable VR Comic
Archipelago is a navigable VR comic containing 65 characters and 6,787 lines of dialogue. It is intended to be a family-friendly story world, suitable for all ages. It is NOT A GAME. You are placed inside a comics world as multiple stories play out in real-time around you. Unlike other VR story experiences, you are free to move around (including flying) as the story plays out. You can choose to follow any of the characters as they go about their lives on a series of islands.
Archipelago's written content is roughly equivalent to a 100 page book. It would take more than 30 hours to follow every single character from start to finish.
Note: This is a rapidly evolving way of experiencing VR stories, the idea is to eventually create many worlds in many genres. General feedback and your ideas to improve the format are very welcome.
If you are a writer or comic artist interested in using the Walkie™ comics software to create your own title, follow @walkieentertain on Twitter or message us.
(any art style can be used, not just this cartoony one.)

I followed a shady looking real estate salesman showing a suited client prospective real estate from his hot air balloon. They looked at a nice little windmill on the coast (which the suit guy said he couldn't afford) before looking at a nearby island where real estate guy suggests they build a theme park. That's when things started to get weird. Before you know it real estate guy is claiming he's been able to control hot air balloons using his mind since he was a baby and suit guy is talking about capturing a Kaiju penguin to exhibit in some sort of demented cartoon Jurassic Park he plans to build! There are lots of these characters all doing their own thing in this island microcosm. You can move (fly) around the island using the touchpad on a controller. When you near a character the speech bubble above his head becomes visible. It's passive, you can't interact with the characters so it's not a game - more like being a spectator in a sort of freeform animated tv show. The dialogue is eclectic but often amusing. Cons: -no sound effects. -movement system needs some work. Can make turns in approx 45 degree increments but the screen blanks for a second whilst you do so, whi…9 found this helpful
Boring and big stories without any action and Intrigue =( Bluefish? No, thx =( its VR, guys! in VR we want beautiful graphics, effects, some volume. And what we have? Some small people, every time walk-walk-walk. Where steep turns of the plot? Why did they exchange words, once one million frames? Where is drama? No. I think, its worst game story.2 found this helpful
