Estonian Business and Innovation Agency Export Grant
Maru VR received the grant for developing export capacity for creative entrepreneurship from the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency. The goal of the project is the development and marketing of Maru VR’s virtual reality game “Bootstrap Island” on global markets. The budget of the project is 71 327 EUR and the grant 49 928,90 EUR.
Bootstrap Island is an unique take on a ‘Robinson Crusoe’ style storybook tale of a shipwrecked sailor surviving on a remote island. We’re designing this game specifically for virtual reality, and focusing on creating immersive gameplay, natural interactions with objects and the environment, complimented by a compelling narrative.
Players are tasked with surviving as long as they can in this intense rouguelike survival game. They must quickly learn to adapt and survive on a mystical and ruthless island, managing their time wisely exploring for food, drink, weapons, making a fire, all the while encountering ferocious beasts and tribal natives.
