About our game and organization
We are developing a prototype of a digital educational card and city builder game in a historical and mythological universe. The aim is to inspire learning of history and other subjects. The upcoming game is in pre production.
The player will be taking charge of a civilization that will go through history. Letting you experience what happened in the past according to historical records. Decisions making and dilemmas open for an engaging gameplay. While diplomacy, trade and wars are bound to start conflicts. This innovative game sees characters in cards moving combat on a grid format. The inspiration comes from: Magic, Civilizations, Age of Empires and Heroes.
We are an early stage startup that is disrupting the educational system and the game industry, by making edutainment games; (entertainment and education) all with a high impact! We are a full service solution for developing and educating in using games for learning.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a visionary and loving small family of professionals. We believe that making games should be as fun as playing them.
