Game-On: Tabletop Card Game Comes To Life With Your Smart Device
With the pioneering of AR and VR technology, we’re seeing a lot of interesting experiments and projects in the industry, and one such project, Game-On, is opening up a nexus. We know you all love Yu-Gi-Oh, you still play, I still play, whatever, but remember the show how the characters in the cards would come to life when they’d duel? Of course you do, now that junk is possible irl, your dreams have come true. Developer Damien Lopez is currently crowdfunding the project on Kickstarter, and we’re talking about the ability to use your phone or smart device to look at cards and reveal some secret content. Look at a card with your obsolete human ocular devices and you see some Mondrian meets Picasso abstract craziness going on, but with that sweet advanced technology, you will see a whole new world come to life on that table where your dad used to whip your ass at Monopoly.
There are currently a few teams working on titles that make use of this tech, but don’t you have some ideas of your own? You can totally share them with Damien, but don’t forget this needs the funding or it’ll only take longer til this development system is made available. Now you’re probably thinking about all these kinds of RPG’s and zombie apocalypse games you wanted to make as card games, and it’s possible. Get on the train and check them out on Twitter, pledge on Kickstarter or simply spread the word if you can!
