If you have a Windows PC and a compatible Virtual Reality device (Rift, Rift S, Vive, etc.) with controllers for both hands…we need your help! 🙂 🙂

At Narratech Laboratories we have launched the LIGHT & SOUND campaign to ask you to help us TRY OUR GAMES. For each project you try, filling out the corresponding questionnaire, you will win -in gratitude- a participation in the draw of a Steam key that we will celebrate very soon, with games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Call of the Sea, Moonlighter or The Longest Road on Earth.
You’re one step away from making a developer happy… and to get these games! 😉
Fear of the dark?
We just published OSCURO on Itch.io, a serious game to help people with nictophobia (fear of the dark) to overcome this uncomfortable situation. Download it for free and play it now on your Windows PC.
We’ve also recently released the Accessible Audio Toolkit (AAT) on Unity Assetstore, an audio accessibility tool for developers. We need you, as someone knowing anything else about this technology, to do now the following experiment: play Death Impact, a small PC game for Windows… without sound.
Simply follow the instructions in the questionnaire, from where you can download the game, to finally answer it properly. Randomly choose one and only one of these two options (flip a coin if you prefer), follow the corresponding link and do everything that the questionnaire asks for:
If you participate in both projects, you will have twice as many possibilities, but in each project you can only fill out 1 questionnaire per person. Do it BEFORE June 14th, 2021, not forgetting to give your email address and Steam account at the end, so we can contact you and give you the digital copy of a video game if it turns out it’s you win.
We will announce the winners right here on July 1, 2021.
In 2015 we already celebrated, with great success, this formative activity on Quality Control and Testing in Video Games. This year we return to the burden with more things to teach, games to try and expert guests who will teach us everything about QA and Game Testing. If you are students of the Faculty, sign up on the official form to get 1 ECTS credit!
The jury formed by Toni Guillem and Luis Miguel Ruano, as members of Electronic Arts, and Federico Peinado and Javier Cortés, as members of Narratech Laboratories, has finished their deliberation and on July 15, 2020 proceeded to proclaim the winners of the contest “Create your own video game against the Coronavirus!”, also launching public thanks to the community of testers who have helped these days to try our tools for video games.

At the general meeting of Narratech Laboratories held this July 1st, 2020, we have drawn the video games that we promised as a thank you to the community of testers who have helped all these days that the event has lasted to validate our video game tools.
The lucky one who takes the digital copy of Half-Life: Alyx is tukaram92
Flight simulators are well-known training tools for pilots within the aerospace world. However, training of flight instructors themselves does not have similar tools.
The following video is a proof-of-concept of Pilot Trainers Simulator, a simulator software for PC in which we can put ourselves in the shoes of a flight instructor and both design the training and evaluate the performance of different virtual pilots.
Watch this short video before answering the evaluation questionnaire…
If you have aeronautical and aircraft piloting knowledge, it would help us a lot that you, after viewing the video, answer this short questionnaire (in Spanish) BEFORE June 21st 2020 to give us your opinion.

We’re building an app, which serves to create video games based on funny tactical battles in a very simple way. Anyone, without programming or creating graphics or sounds, can have his/her own game ready in minutes, even the smallest of the house 😉
We are excited to release this application by creating video games with a very special theme, “The Good Doctors”, paying tribute to the winners of the Princess of Asturias Award of Concord 2020: OUR SANITARY!, who have taken care of us and have bravely faced the pandemic of COVID-19. Real heroes!
Set the stage to your liking, choose the story, the music… Put your health heroes and evil viruses wherever you want, and let the battle begin!
Take part in our tribute and if your game is among the winners you will receive download keys for titles like FIFA 20 (5 download codes for Playstation 4!) and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Battlefield V and Need for Speed Heat (2 download codes each, via Origin for PC!).
