HONG KONG, Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Global games publisher R2Games, and Thoughtfish, a Germany based development studio, are joining forces to bring forward their first collaboration project - a context sensitive online AR game, to audiences worldwide.
Fightlings is an innovative take on the 2016 smash hit Pokemon-GO, tasking players with finding, training, and battling digital creatures in real world environments using augmented reality on their smart devices. However, the systems driving the game are far more fleshed out than what other similar titles have to offer. A creature clan system, as well as real world location, time of day, weather, and crowd tracking affects what players will find in-game. This creates a more complex, engaging, and rewarding gameplay experience.
R2Games is thrilled to be working with the talented designers, artists, and coders over at Thoughtfish - a cutting edge player in the AR development market. By using aggregated data streams of weather, location, temperature, topography, vegetation, and more, Thoughtfish is able to generate exciting new, context sensitive in-game experiences.
"We are very lucky to be working with such an accomplished and forward-thinking studio as Thoughtfish. Their multiple nominations for gaming and design awards are impressive, and we're really excited about bringing such a unique game, with unique technology, to a global market with them." - Ben Chen, Marketing Director at R2Games.
Fightlings is currently available on Google Play in select regions, with an iOS version and a global launch expected later this year.
