join the swift academy

We have now produced our second game for the Devon Wildlife Trust, Swift Academy. The game was designed to educate children about the life of a swift through a series of challenges where they can "earn their wings" and become fully-fledged swifts. It was designed and built to work on their website, on touch-screen installations a and as a Facebook application. There is also a scoreboard and database of users to feed into their eCRM strategy.

character designs

After the structure of our games has been developed, the next stage is to bring the characters and scenes to life. This is one of the preliminary sketches we produced for Harry the Hedgehog, a happy go lucky little chap.

touchscreens

We worked closely with the Devon Wildlife Trust and a local technical team to produce the games for an interactive touchscreen at their base in Cricklepit Mill. We designed the games specifically for this purpose and produced the creative and technical software ready to run on the installation.

facebook applications

After we had developed the games, we wanted the client to get as much value from them as possible. They already run a Facebook fan page so it made sense to redevelop the game for this platform. Help the Hog retrieves a user's name and location and provides them with a personalised message.

a status symbol

Upon completion, the games automatically post a status update on the user's wall not only to further promote the game, but also so that the game's usage can be tracked within Facebook's application analytics tools.
