🪄 It's Magic — Multi-Device Multiplayer Game

It’s Magic is an experimental multiplayer game exploring distributed interaction across several devices.
Created as a college final project in a team of 4, it combines Unity clients and a mobile app to create a cooperative, immersive potion-making adventure.

✨ Overview

Three players cooperate in a magical world using three different interfaces:

• Interactive Table – Top-down view of the forest and workshop.
• Vertical Screen – Side views for detailed actions.
• Mobile Phone – Special tools and environment control.

The game encourages communication and coordination as each device provides unique perspectives and actions.

🎯 Goal of the Game

Play as three wizards working together to brew a potion before time runs out.

1. 🍄 Harvest Ingredients – Gather forest ingredients and store them in the bag.
2. 🥣 Prepare the Cauldron – Toss ingredients into the cauldron inside the house.
3. 🪵 Heat the Cauldron – Move it to the chimney when bubbling starts.
4. 🔥 Light the Fire – Use the bellows to ignite the flame.
5. ⚗️ Finish the Potion – Wait for dark blue bubbles, then pour the potion into a flask.
   ⚠️ Careful not to spill it!
