IoE presents: Wildeverse
We are really excited to announce that our flagship game, Wildeverse, is scheduled for release this summer! We will reveal more details about the gameplay, characters, and our conservation mission over the next few months. Wildeverse has been on quite a journey! Check out the timeline.
A Data Scientist and the Founder of a Game Company walk into the Congo Jungle…
That sounds like the start of a bad joke, but it’s exactly what happened this March. Raff Mares (IoE’s data scientist) and Gautam Shah (IoE’s founder) traveled to the Congo to visit Nouabale Ndoki National Park.
Notes from our Research trip to Borneo
What are a game developer and a data scientist doing together in a Bornean rainforest, you might wonder? In the past year and a half, we have been working towards a full Augmented Reality location-based game to support conservation, getting the financing, our team, and conservation partnerships in place. The first installment of the game will feature apes, and how can we create a game about their everyday lives and what it takes to conserve their habitats, without having experienced it ourselves?
Great ape stars sign up for next stage of Safari Central
If you have been following us for a while, you know our big vision project is Safari Central, a location-based game that brings real animals from the wild to your world. In the past two years, we’ve prototyped several versions of the game and raised funds through a Kickstarter campaign to develop the tech further. So we are super excited to announce that we are now in the process of building the full-fledged version of Safari Central, and we are kicking it off exclusively with Great Ape stars.
