Zoombini game upgrade#
To upgrade Zoombinis for tablet devices, the technical team used Unity to optimize game and levels for the touch screen. Keeping the original animations required tracing screenshots of the original animation so it will jive with the new technology. Zoombinis are fun, challenging, and educational We’re small blue creatures with different eyes, hair, nose, and feet, and we need your help to make our way.
Based on fan feedback, the decision was made to keep much of the original animation in the game, though the Zoombini characters themselves got a refresh. To remaster Zoombinis, FableVision artists digitally painted rich, illustrative backgrounds for the new aspect ratios. Providing expertise in art, animation, and technology, the team at FableVision provided a fresh and current approach to Zoombinis, while keeping true to the original game. Through a partnership with TERC, a not-for-profit leader in K-12 math and science education, and the Learning Games Network, a not-for-profit game company, FableVision Studios embarked on an epic journey to relaunch the classic, beloved ’90s game Logical Journey of Zoombinis for classroom and individual use. Zoombinis, the little blue guys on a logical journey, are back and this time they’re mobile.
