Digital Lode Immersive Media, Melbourne
Digital Lode is startup immersive media company based in Melbourne Australia.
We live and breathe immersive technology. We are VR evangelists and have banded together over our shared love of Stealth games like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell. We are a core team of 10, 2 of which work remote.
Our original IP is Espire 1: VR Operative; a made-for-VR Stealth title with a focus on player volition. We strive to offer players full freedom of movement within the VR world, without motion sickness. Espire is being published by Tripwire Interactive and was released on all major VR systems in 2019.
