December 2018, MuseoRiso, Palermo https://conf.seriousgamessociety.org Blanket heavy with nightmares By Kyosti Koshela , Artist Suvi Solkio, Kajaani University of Applied Sciences (KAMK), Finland Blanket heavy with nightmares is an art installation originally created by Finnish artist Suvi Solkio and is presented at Kajaani Art Museum. In ESF- funded project “From Stories to Games” KAMK development team Clever Simulation Entertainment has turned this art piece into emotional and immersive Virtual Reality experience. Game contains introduction of the actual art installation created with photogrammetry and five different nightmare sequences for the players to experience. The nightmares visualized in the project were designed in cooperation with both the artist and Kajaani Art Museum. The whole development team helped design the main visual outlook for all the nightmare scenes. Individual nightmares were then developed as different levels in the game and gaze controlled game play mechanics, 3D-models, animations, environmental sounds and other features were developed based on the needs of the nightmare. The main aim of the Blanket Heavy with Nightmares was to • develop new innovative methods for presenting contemporary art • see what kind of emotional responses you can provoke in the players. 8
