THE UNFINISHED just released ! Also available as a FIREBIRD Bundle
Hello everyone, and rejoice !
We just released THE UNFINISHED and hope you will like it. We really put a lot of effort in the making of this new episode of the FIREBIRD SERIES, to keep the tone, artistic touch and sensitivity of LA PÉRI while improving many little details and pushing the visuals farther than ever.
For THE UNFINISHED, we worked with the same choreographer than for LA PÉRI, but with two more dancers. 6 characters in the experience required motion capture, and 5 voice actors participated in recording sessions in each language.
Behind those numbers though, we feel like we have achieved to retain the emotion which is at the core of the FIREBIRD SERIES, with a storyline inspired by famous sculptor Auguste Rodin's love story with his apprentice Camille Claudel.
Lastly, expect to have your sculpting skills tested in THE UNFINISHED, but be aware that with the hammer and chisel you will be given, the expression "bring life to the stone" will take a completely different meaning...
Enjoy this new episode of the FIREBIRD SERIES, and if you liked it, don't forget to drop us a comment !
Thanks for your support,
The Innerspace Team
NEW EPISODE COMING 29.04.2018 !!!
Dear all,
We've been greatly touched and honoured by your support and appreciation for FIREBIRD : La Péri, which was released in August 2016. Some of you might even have been part of the Early Release in April 2016 !
So we thought you'd be happy to know that a NEW episode from the Firebird Series will be released in April 2018 :) We are thrilled to finally be able to show it to you all, and welcome you once again in the Firebird theatre !
That's not all though : this new episode is in competition at the Tribeca Film Festival 2018, in the Immersive section ! The team has been hard at work on this new episode and it's amazing to be a part of this prestigious festival - if you are in New York in April, don't miss the opportunity to come see it a few days before it is released.
Lastly, this new episode will be available from day one on the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and all Microsoft MR headsets via Steam.
From all of us in Paris, a huge THANK YOU for the support, kind words and constructive feedbacks :)
La Péri now on Microsoft MR Headsets !
Hi everyone,
We are proud to announce La Péri is now available to all Microsoft MR Headset users !
We're thrilled to support these new headsets, just as Steam has opened access to its immersive content to the Microsoft platform through the Steam Beta program.
As usual folks, since this is a musical experience, please make sure your audio devices are properly plugged and active in the Windows sound properties.
And as Thanksgiving approaches, let us express our thanks to you all, for your continuous support of our creations and the overall VR landscape !
A bientôt,
The Innerspace team :Petals:
Christmas update !!!
Steam people,
We are thrilled to announce that we pushed a new update which includes a number of fixes and improvements.
Most important new feature is the "VR mode":
Everyone who has a "Stand up/front facing" setup will now be able to comfortably play "La Peri" within their space without taking the risk to hit their mug to get close to her dance, as we now have implemented a "desk mode"!
People who have more space to play with (like an ideal 3x3m Roomscale), will obviously be able to access the standard "Roomscale mode" within the main menu, and unleash their full choreography!
Also, Oculus Rift with Touch controllers are now compatible.
"La Peri" is part of the Christmas sales, so we have a 50% off, promo until january 3rd!
And last but no least we have a beautiful artwork to celebrate the joy of Christmas with our favorite Dancing Characters.
Hope you will enjoy this update and hope to see you soon on stage with la Peri !
La Peri : what's coming next !
Hey folks,
we know it has been quite some time we haven't reached you so below is what you need to know about what's coming next.
We will push an important update by the end of the year including Oculus version ( + support for Touch) and the possibility to play what we call the Standing / Desk mode for players with limited VR space - the full roomscale requires a 3m² setup.
Also we are thrilled to announce that La Peri won two new awards: "Best Art Direction" at Protoawards in L.A and "Most Innovative" at FNC eXplore in Montreal. The store page now features a new trailer quoting the most laudatory statements from the press.
Thanks again for your support, and please keep posted for the latest news here and at www.innerspacevr.com !

Hi everybody,
just a few words to keep you posted about recent events and awards.

We also went back home with the "Golden Headset" (the jury's prize). La Peri has also been presented at the Shangai International Film Festival and last week in Belgium for the Brussels VR Fest !
More to come...

What's coming next for the final release ?

- French, English (new ones) and Chinese voice-over !
- Better transitions in-between scenes instead of fade-to-black
- some mysterious Steam achievements ;)
