Dare ProtoPlay

Dare ProtoPlay is the culmination of 2 months of development: the ultimate step in the Dare to be Digital competition. It is an event where everybody can play our games!

During 3 exhausting days a lot of people was able to play IsoChronous along all the other games of the competition. The booths of all the teams were amazing:

   

We decided to decorate ours with elements of the game, so we converted one of the screens into a fortified castle!

We were not sure enough if kids would enjoy 100% de game since the idea behind it is a bit complex, but in Dare ProtoPlay we found a LOT of kids playing again and again (also some of them coming after a while to continue playing it), so we can say that kids enjoy it too! There was also a great reception by adults: the whole process of understanding the game and trying to master it trying different strategies kept them engaged. We are very happy with the feedback from both kids and adults!

Finally, on Sunday took place the award giving ceremony. The 3 BAFTA nominations to the “Ones to watch” award were for our fellows who developed Pixel Story, Starcrossed and Project Thanatos. Good job guys!

The public, with their votes during the event, chose Project Thanatos for the Public award, and finally we received the Team choice award given by the other teams!

Congratulations to everyone that has taken part in Dare to be Digital. because all the games done have been amazing. This two months working side by side with the other teams, sharing problems and ideas (and beers) have been awesome, so thank you all! Also thanks to the organizers for leting us enjoy this experience. For sure this is one of those summers that we will never forget.
