Taíno-themed game released for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch
Santa Clara, CA (UCTP Taino News) - Raindrop Games has launched a new historical game entitled “Arrival: Village Kasike” for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Arrival: Village Kasike
is the first game in the planed Arrival series, which focuses on the
history of the indigenous Taíno peoples. Players will lead an ancient
Taíno village to thriving prosperity or a struggling existence with
challenges including hurricane preparation, food cultivation, village
defense, and morale management, etc.
Arrival: VillageKasike presents the story of Naniki,
a Taíno woman, who, through fate, must lead a struggling village
somewhere in the Caribbean. The iOS game was developed in collaboration
with the United Confederation of Taíno People with Roberto Múkaro Borrero,
President of The United Confederation of Taíno People as project’s lead
consultant. Borrero reviewed the various aspects of ancient Taíno life
portrayed - from clothing, farming techniques, and socio-ceremonial
presentations – in an effort to provided the highest standard of
accuracy in this setting. In his personal capacity as a renowned Taíno
musician, Borrero also provided Taíno music and speech to create a more
immersive and authentic experience.
“Before
even beginning development, Raindrop Games reached out to the
Confederation, and we in turned reached out to the Community –
affiliated and non-affiliated - about the potential of this
collaboration” stated Borrero. After outreach and consultations, the
Confederation received mostly positive reactions to the project.
“There
were a few concerns, but the fact that we would be consulting all
through development was a critical factor” noted Borrero. “The potential
for introducing our ancient and contemporary culture to vast audiences
using this technology was an educational opportunity that merited our
attention and participation.”
According
to Raindrop games, the goal was to create engaging, entertaining, and
educational game play experience were the concept of “balance” is the
key to survival.
Recommended devices for game play are iPhone 4 or newer, all iPads, iOS 5 or newer is required. Those interested in Arrival: Village Kasike can open iTunes to purchase and download the apps. Raindrop games also maintains a website for more information at http://www.arrivalgame.com/.
