We love to design meaningful experiences which transform people's way of being, learning, and interacting.
We create serious games and other fun and educational devices for specific contexts. We have done games to child, young and adult; accustomed to use computer or not; in situations of formal education (schools) and Non-Formal (like museums and workplaces); about scientific, artistic, technical, social, health and environmental subjects. We create remarkable characters, scenarios consistent and differential art for each project.
What we do?
¤ Pre-production - design and documentation (game design document; technical script); concept art; research references, content and assessment appropriate to the target audience language patterns;
¤ production - creative direction; production of images, animations, audio and text for the technology; development; heuristic evaluation;
¤ pos-production - implementation; review of the gameplay; application of test data collection and analysis.
