Pilotifant features an alarmed elephant bull in a porcelain shop. Players guide the elephant by pulling on its trunk. Goal is to minimize the damage in different levels like china shops, restaurants and lighting stores.
Realisation
The game Pilotifant has been designed together with the client Die Mobiliar and the designers of the advertising campaign in the traditional style of hand-written pencil sketches.
To keep the look and feel of hand-drawn graphics, Gbanga developed native apps that make heavy use of OpenGL technologies to render hi-res textures and modify them dynamically to give the elephant and the environment a lively character.
