The centre is the brainchild of owner and operator James Honeyman. Originally from Grindrod, he brought his idea to Salmon Arm because he wanted to share with people the enjoyment he finds in gaming.
香蕉视频直播淚 think more than anything I just want it to be fun,香蕉视频直播� Honeyman said. 香蕉视频直播淚 know that香蕉视频直播檚 not a very business-like approach, but for me I like to get together with people and hang out.香蕉视频直播�
When conducting the research for the gaming centre, Honeyman went to Vancouver to see what other VR gaming centres had done. Honeyman noticed that people would come into the gaming centres, play and then leave.
香蕉视频直播淭here was nowhere to hang out, it was just a very businesses-like setting. So what we wanted to do is after you play VR, you can hang out after,香蕉视频直播� he said.
To create a place for people to hang out, Honeyman turned to local businesses and fabricators to buy and make the various tables, table tops and couches that fill the space.
The multiple VR studios allows players to join the same game and work together to find their way out of a virtual escape room.
In addition to letting Honeyman share his passion for games, he hopes the centre will keep the local youth busy doing something they enjoy.
香蕉视频直播淭he 20-something crowd in Salmon Arm is definitely looking for something to do,香蕉视频直播� said Honeyman. 香蕉视频直播淵ou香蕉视频直播檝e got a lot of kids running around with nothing to do and that usually just gets them into trouble.香蕉视频直播�
