Seyenapse

Seyenapse was an independent virtual reality game development and immersive media studio founded in September 2016 by Singaporean visual effects artist, creative technologist and entrepreneur Vicki Lau. Its work focused on interactive experiences that allowed people to create and explore digital worlds, with development spanning mobile and PC virtual reality platforms.

The studio’s main commercial project was CREATE VR, an alchemy-style sandbox and world-building simulation. Players manipulated natural elements such as fire, water and earth, combining them to discover reactions and produce elements including steam, rain and mud. These interactions supported the creation of personalized planetary environments, combining experimentation with landscape creation and exploration.

Development and release

Early prototyping for the Samsung Gear VR version began in 2017. Following seven months of full-scale production, the studio completed the title and began limited distribution and an open beta across Oculus Gear VR and Oculus Rift in February and April 2018. The project brought its creative sandbox concept to both mobile VR hardware and a PC-based VR platform.

Alongside game development, Seyenapse’s stated capabilities included virtual reality application development, interactive media experience design and augmented reality experiences. Its production work combined gameplay development with the creation of interactive virtual environments.

Company history

Seyenapse operated as a Singapore-incorporated independent startup using distributed production. Its commercial activity lasted from September 2016 until late 2018, when it ceased active game development because consumer VR adoption and market demand did not support a sustainable business. The company was subsequently struck off the Singapore corporate register.

Its website remains available as an informational archive, preserving information about the studio and CREATE VR, access to the project build, and a submission channel for general inquiries and former employee reference checks.
