What I did

  • Gameplay programming in the early prototyping phases of the Teburu platform.
  • Prototypes of its first game, Zombicide Evolution: Las Vegas.

The game

Teburu is a console that joins the physical board and the digital game: it senses where the miniatures stand anywhere on the board, and reads wireless dice wherever they're rolled.

A Gamemaster app on a tablet or computer takes care of the rules, the enemies' behaviour and the story events, while each player follows their own character on a companion app on their phone.

Its first announced game was Zombicide Evolution: Las Vegas, made with CMON. Today the platform runs games like The Bad Karmas and the Curse of the Zodiac, published with Pegasus Spiele.
