Books & Magic: The Little Mermaid - teaser

Unread post by Stephen » 15 Jun 2015, 09:59

Finally we at Books & Magic are ready to reveal what we have been working so hard on the past year.
We are bringing the original H. C. Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" to life!

A new beautifully illustrated physical book combined with an mobile app that recognizes each illustration and in a magical way reveals the world of the little mermaid, directly on top of the book and as if it is part of our real world.

Take a look at our little teaser video and like our facebook page to get updates from us.

You can also check us out at http://www.booksandmagic.com.
The book and app will be available for purchase this fall.

Hilsen
Stephen

Cool Eski. :)

I saw a demo at Nordic Game having lunch with Mark. :)
The augmented reality tracking of the book was working really well.

There was some smaller animated trigger events on the iPad. But I didn't notice any game mechanics per se. Or I have forgotten.
Are there some sort of mini games in there somewhere?

But looks good! Best of luck with the project.
cheers

Amazing job guys - I really think you're on to something there!

And I have been lucky enough to get a preview at Growing Games.

Hi Jonas

Yes, this is not just a visual gimmick. It has casual games and puzzles in the scene that are closely tied into the story and settings.

Glad you like it. :)
