The real world (on Twitter), and the digital world in your game are merged, explains PSFK. This has never been done before, and it will result in loads of interesting new game-play features. Tweet Land will be launched with two initial games: a racing game called ‘Route 140’ and an action game called ‘Love City’.
On crowd-funding platform Kickstarter the game creators explain their project in order to raise funds to develop some of their new ideas. As the makers explain, they have created tons of situations that are triggered by relative keywords that people might tweet about. Consider pledging 25 dollars and your name will be mentioned in the game on the Backer’s Monument. Wouldn’t that be cool? The developers are aiming to launch Tweet Land before mid-2011, both for iPhone and web browser, with two initial games.
“The game works really simple. Every time someone in the world tweets something, his or her tweets could affect the gameplay of Tweet Land by triggering certain action-keywords. It could be a ‘car accident’ in your racing game, it could be your hate-gun gets reloaded in the action game, it could be anything.”
BEEN THERE TOGETHER is a single-player game that challenges you to step out of your comfort zone and get to know people and spaces in your city.
