Freggers Code
Start date: Mar 28, 2013, End date: Sep 27, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"Freggers Code“ is a virtual world for kids from 8 to 14 (mainly girls) where players can realize their ideas and tell stories which can be discovered, remixed and developed further by other players - „Digital storytelling meets online community“. The goal is not to level up but to express yourself through stories and collect social appreciation for it.To support this, the game provides detailed scenery and objects: for example a circus tent with penguins, elephants, seesaws and platforms. Players can take the role of a ringmaster and plan a circus performance for their friends. Through a script, a simple visual programming language, penguins can be taught to ride elephants or to dive from a high platform onto a tiny trampoline. The scene can be combined with music and sounds and the characters can be brought to life with speech bubbles, animations and actions. Then the player can invite friends to see the performance. Every player has an avatar and can visit the circus tent of a friend, independent of time or place. Through a chat, emotes and actions, friends can actively be part of a performance and give the ringmaster feedback. A successful performance can be motivation for the audience to likewise create something and maybe remix parts of the performance. The circus is only one of countless sceneries for animated stories, plays or little adventure games: A rainy valley, a dusky forest, a dry desert that inspires fort building, a lush green garden or meadow where a stable could be built, a sunny deserted island or a creepy vault – there are no limits to the imagination. Also the objects are not restricted to certain areas. If an elephant is needed in a fort, it can be placed there and be given individual behaviour. A flying or jumping elephant? - No problem! Players with more experience will be able to build more complex stories, adventure, role play or even small platform games that utilize several rooms and sceneries to challenge their friends.
