History of Loco Dojo

Make Real studio, based in Brighton, UK, has been creating engaging experiences using immersive technologies for over a decade. Loco Dojo was developed solely for VR with the motion controls specifically made for the VR controllers. The developers from Make Real that released this fun and quirky game said they realized shooting games were taking over the VR world, and they wanted to put out something more fun, lighthearted, and friendly to all ages. Their first VR game, the award winning Radial-G: Racing Revolved, was very helpful in teaching them how to provide comfort for the players in order to make them feel fully immersed in the game.
