New platform “Project FIELD” that combines real card game and smartphone application “Yokai Watch” also entered!

In Forward Works, we are not only limited to the existing smartphone game but also to create new play that links various technologies, ideas and entertainment. One of them is “Project FIELD” working with Sony.

20161207-forwardworks-23.PNG20161207-forwardworks-24.jpg

“Project FIELD” is a platform that consists of smart phones and tablets, dedicated pads developed by Sony, cards with integrated IC chips, game applications, and a combination of trading card games and smartphone applications. Various functions such as a position detection sensor, IC reading device, LED, Bluetooth® etc. are packed in the special pad, and when putting a card on the pad, it can quickly detect the direction and movement and exchange data with the smartphone game application through Bluetooth® can do.

Not only the position and orientation where the card is placed, but also movements such as vertical slide, slide to sideways, change direction, for example, can also be detected, and games such as “attack”, “avoidance” and ” It is reflected in play. Since the data of the IC chip can be read not only but also can be written, the card and the game application can be bidirectionally interlocked. For example, it is possible to grow a character card with the experience value acquired in the game. In addition, it corresponds to a way of playing by fighting with friends by connecting two pads to a smartphone or tablet. Because the rules and calculations of card games are done automatically by the application, even children can easily play with them.

According to Mr. Kazuyuki Sakamoto of the Sony Field Office, it seems that the product “My First Sony” for children released from Sony in 1998 is the origin of the idea. “My First Sony” is a product that wishes to inspire interest in science as an acoustic product that a child first touches. “Project FIELD” underlies similar ideas, “Provide experiences like” modern my first sonny “to children of the present age through” play that can actually be picked up and touched ” Can not start “started from the idea. It is becoming a platform in which I thought that “I want to provide children with a new game experience by fusing analog experiences and digital play”.

The first piece of content produced by Forward Works for “Project FIELD” is the “Yokai Watch” series. By collaboration with level Five and Bandai, we plan to realize a new youkai battle using functions unique to “Project FIELD”. Also, for Forward Works, preparation for multiple contents following “Yokai Watch” is advanced for “Project Field”, so please expect it.
