Robotales



Description



Robotales was a client project in cooperation with NHN Corporation of Korea. The idea was to create an online social game that portrayed a message to be developed fully for the Korean market in the future. It was decided then that as a group we would make a environment themed game, being the focus of the game to interact and care for a planet, collect resources and thrive in an ‘ideal’ world.

How it came to be



The way I designed this game was to try not only to offer known social gaming interactions such as collecting, gifting, messaging, visiting and trading, but also I wanted to take advantage of our platform, facebook, in order to create a compelling game that not only was cute and fun to play, but also share with friends the experiences of how their actions can affect not only their game environment, but the way they play the game in future turns and outcomes. As mentioned earlier, the key of the game is the planet the players are living in and what they would do to maintain a planet according to what they picture that planet to be ‘ideal’ with the resources available.

Another key to our game was to include a background story, to make it more personal.
