Developer Includes a Real-Life Skyscraper in a Climbing Game

Wikkl Works, the developer of a New Heights: Realistic Climbing and Bouldering, a Unity-powered sim with realistic climbing mechanics, added a new location to the game: Taipei 101, a 508 m skyscraper in Taiwan.

The game is in early access on Steam. The developers also offer the Steam Workshop, in which you can create any environment to climb on, and they plan to add the tower to the workshop as well.

New Heights features more than 250 routes across real-world European locations. The game is made by real climbers; it immerses you in the real challenges and feelings that climbers experience when mastering new routes and heights. With photogrammetry, the developers recreate real locations in the game, for example, L'Al Lègne cliff:

In the game, you can climb in locations you might never visit, or where it's not allowed in real life, in a safe way. The project has the most realistic physics-based climbing mechanics to date and takes grip, balance, body position, and hold directions into account, allowing players to experience the adrenaline rush and the feeling of accomplishment like in real climbing.
