Google Maps API Global Launch

Google Maps asked us to launch their new product: Google Maps API.

This platform will allow game developers to create real-world games in a simpler way.

Just like how Pokemon GO changed the way we play mobile games, Google Maps API will change the way we create maps and build video games.

But no matter how revolutionary and exciting this might be, an API remains something hard to visualize and therefore hard to get excited about.

Unity Demo

To visualize what Google Maps API enables, we build a Unity Demo using Google Maps API.

The concept is to have a sandbox experience where the user will be able to go anywhere in the world and customize it as if they were building their own video game.

From changing the texture of the road, the height of a building to spawning a full-size dragon on top of a house, the user has the full experience of building its own game world.

Everything was designed, developed and produced in-house at B-Reel Los Angeles under our lead.

Spawning Elements

Google Maps API's main feature is to recognize the type of business done in each building. This metadata allows us to spawn elements based on the type of buildings. If you want to have a candy cart only at restaurants, you can.

Three different themes

We built three different themes to showcase the immense possibilities brought by Google Maps API. Whether you wanna build a fantasy strategic game, a location-based candy world or missions in a futuristic world, everything is possible.

Launch Film

We launched Google Maps APIs to a wider audience with a 30 sec film.

Every 3D element has been created in-house using assets from our Unity Demo.

The film has been reposted by major websites and blogs from the industry ( Mashable, TheVerge, Hypebeast and others).
