360KID Game Design Begins
On yesterday, we began working with 360KID to develop a more comprehensive game design document for Skill-Life. This will be the third game design document we have created over the last two years, the previous two having been developed in collaboration with Sidehatch Studios and Semiotic Technologies. In each instance, the Skill-Life product has evolved considerably. We are deeply committed to developing the absolute most fun and dynamic financial education product out there. Working with 360 takes us one step closer and establishes a relationship with a developer with which we expect to continue working as we build our Beta.
We were originally connected with 360KID during our search for an executive producer. Emily Treat, a graduate of Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment & Technology Center, presently works at 360 and will be involved with our project. Our product development guy, Todd Waits, will lead the process from Skill-Life’s end and ensure that all the pieces are in place to continue our movement forward.
For over 16 years, 360KID has been partnering with businesses and not-for-profit organizations to create award-winning products that educate as well as entertain. The company understands how kids learn and how they play, and brings experience in both the education and entertainment industries to each product developed. It has an established track record of success in both the education and entertainment arenas, including multiple awards—and three Emmy nominations! 360KIDhas previously worked with such organizations as LeapFrog, Hasbro, Simon & Schuster, the Princeton Review, National Public Radio, and the Girl Scouts of America.
