CLIENT
YUZOZ
LAUNCHED
2006
HIGHLIGHTS
* Game demo for space-themed gaming company
* Based on random numbers generated from space
* Start-up by renowned space entrepreneur
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Yuzoz introduced games based on proprietary methods to capture data from live astronomical events such as solar flares, northern lights, the winds of space and the movements of clouds on Venus via satellites. This data could be used to do almost anything: pick from a list of excuses for being late to work or school; select the notes for a cosmically-generated tune or find lucky numbers. The possibilities are endless on how many things the stars can decide.
Giant Step developed a demo of what a space-themed online game could be. The "Lightning Strikes - Keno from Space" game was a working concept for "Games From Space" - the first games based on a branded random number generator using the magical randomness of space.
A Mark Twain once said "Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it". In "Lightning Strikes", players get to bet on where in the world lightning will strike next.
