Breaking new ground for the video game industry, a game called Everything, animated by Irishman David OReilly, could be up for an Oscar.
News has emerged that a video game called Everything has made history by becoming the first video game to be eligible for an Oscar.
OReilly confirmed the Oscars news on Twitter after a video of the game was awarded a jury prize in animation at the Vienna Shorts Festival.
Everything is the second video game that OReilly has worked on.
Three years ago, he was behind the release of a game called Mountain, a passive experience that he himself described as a “mountain simulator, relax ’em up, art horror etc”.
