Gross. Stadt. Jagd (Urban. Hunt. in english) is a real-time game that lets players run in the city to escape from a hunting car and become the last man standing during the event. The mobile app game has been developed for Mercedes-Benz Switzerland.
Players download an app and then play on May 29th 2015 at 8pm in Zurich. The last man (or woman) standing is expected to happen after approximately 90-150 minutes. The winner will get a real Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake car worth around 56’000 Swiss Francs.
Realisation
In only 8 weeks, the breath-taking hunting game has been developed from the ground up by Gbanga, Millform Inc..
Due to the hard real-time requirements, Gbanga, Millform Inc. had to develop the game server and power- and communication-optimized game app completely in-house. Based on our long experience in MMO games, we have chosen a robust, scalable and secure architecture and environment. More details will be published after the game has taken place.
