Scholastic - Dog Man - Make-O-Matic 3000
In this game, players begin by choosing from one of many unique Dog Man characters to create. The skill required is for players to remember how the character looks. Where are the eyes, mouth, arms, etc. Next, these some of these parts are removed. It is up to the player to add them all back accurately. The part placements are then rated, potentially earning a "Perfect-O" status result. With each character created, the player earns rewards and is able to create new Dog Man characters.
Klutz Super Collider
This game requires players to use both sides of their brain, combining creativity and problem-solving. To manipulate the trajectory of either ball, players can draw a path with clay. Clay was used for drawing paths because it is included within the Klutz science kits.
A segment of Klutz's product line focuses on STEM-related educational toys. The game is designed for young children who enjoy physics-based games similar to building Rube Goldberg machines. The purpose of the game is to introduce Klutz toys to new audiences and the Scholastic Homebase app.
The Pfizer VR Experience
To help their customers better understand a new product, Pfizer wanted a totally new way to do so. Their goal was to create something unique, impactful, but a short experience so as not to waste the time of potential customers. We quickly decided to create a VR experience with Google Cardboard and the Zeiss One headset, the best on the market. The result was a high-quality VR experience that was easily portable, untethered, and quick to set up and play.
Stymied
From the very beginning, the client knew Mode was different from the other game developers he had worked with before, and he has never looked back. Unlike his previous experience with developing a game, which resulted in a substandard product. Our client loved working with Mode on the redevelopment of his game.
With a small budget and a short timeframe, we repackaged and released the same game design to a professional standard. Using our creative direction, we delivered a successful game release for our client that exceeded their expectations.
Something Eerie
Something Eerie was developed for Royal Life Saving Society Australia to teach kids to stay safe in, on and around water. The app also teaches what to do in case of a serious emergency. Through making right or wrong decisions in the game, the player can learn this. Anonymous data analytics measures and tracks the success of every interactive story. It allowed the client to determine how successful the app is based on their KPIs, which focused on the total number of stories played. By doing this, they could tell how many children learned the lessons.
Each story is about 5-10 minutes long with a mystery to solve. Characters are key to writing good stories and the ones we created helped to tell our clients educational stories. At the centre of the Something Eerie stories is the main character Ruby; she is new to a peculiar town named Eerie Creek. This is a place where strange and mysterious things happen, is it supernatural or something else?
Early Learning STEM Australia
We had the opportunity to develop an ambitious new learning programme with the University of Canberra and the Department of Education. We were selected based on our creative approach and experience delivering outstanding apps for large-scale pilot programs. In the year since we first worked on ELSA, the programme has gained full approval, with $5.1M in first-round funding.
Children can play many activities within each of the apps we made. As part of our development deliverables, we also created four different characters. Each character has traits and characteristics that make them distinctive and suitable for the topics they represent.
To teach young children STEM concepts, we developed two apps for children. The first app we made introduced the concept of understanding patterns and arrangements. Children learned this through various activities including ordering a day's activities, stringing together decorations, singing and dancing exercises, and sorting healthy food items into lunchboxes.
The second app we developed for ELSA covers understanding spatial terms, such as over, under, on top of, underneath, etc. Within the app, children could play hide and seek, explore the zoo, arrange books and objects on bookshelves, and take photos (to comprehend points of view) in a playground setting.
