## The turnkey VR arena

Holybots Arena is a free-roam VR team PvP game, distributed as a turnkey solution for VR arcades, events and permanent installations.

## The universe

In a cyber-futuristic lab, service robots have broken free from their chains and clash over mysterious artifact fragments. Each player picks their archetype and steps into the metal frame of a rebel robot devoted to the cult of the artifact. Dodging, taking cover behind walls or holographic firewalls, outsmarting opponents: each match is an intense tactical showdown lasting 10 to 20 minutes.

The focus is on **teamwork and communication**: if a teammate is deactivated, the remaining players must recover their fragment to win.

## My contribution

As lead developer and co-founder of Bigger Inside, I built the technical architecture of Holybots Arena: game engine, free-roam multiplayer networking layer, VR rendering, gameplay systems and environment creation tools. The game shares a common technical foundation with Holybots Rising, adapted for the VR arcade format and the distribution requirements of the SynthesisVR and Delusion platforms.
