After years in prototyping, we’re happy to announce that one of our most exciting IP projects, brODDcast, has begun development with our partner SoftKinetic Studios. The experience allows kids to control digital puppets and create their own content through a gesture-based interface.
You can read all about it in our Media Room (link below) but to whet your appetite, here’s an early concept image.
We were pretty honored when we were invited to join the Society of Digital Agencies last year, and since then we’ve been getting up to all sorts of trouble with this motley crew.
By trouble, I mean sharing best practices, exploring solutions to issues that we all face in our industry and undertaking research to better predict the future.
One of the most interesting projects is the SoDA 2011 DMO, which was officially released today. At 199 pages, it’s not light on insights. Hopefully you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed our work on it.
Fancy taking a step back into a simpler time, where men were men, woman were women, and chocolates didn’t come pre-wrapped? Our latest Facebook game, developed for PlayFirst’s hit Chocolatier series, takes you there and puts you in charge of your own Facebook factory, churning out some of the finest cocoa treats this side of the Mediterranean.
The game includes features such as an expandable and fully customizable shop, dozens of chocolates to make, and success tied to how many friends you add as neighbors.
Our designers love designers. So we built a site for them. .toolbox is a new community experience for creatives and developers in the digital media space to learn and share as they create rich web experiences.
Microsoft’s Expression Studio is making waves in the creative professional crowd, and Microsoft wanted a hub where these communities could gather to learn more an explore the possibilities of Silverlight development. If you’re new to the suite of products, this is absolutely the best way to check it out.
The site features free online video tutorials, customizable avatars, and a competitive badge system of achievements, so that designers can track their progress as they learn — watch the video below, and it’ll make a lot more sense. And don’t be shy to dive in–all the project files and assets for the tutorials are available straight from within the site. Enjoy!
