Sigma Technology together with Sigma Ukraine was
involved in creation of a fascinating web-based adventure game the Minnits for
Universal Learning Games AB since 2012.
During this time we developed from scratch a Unity 3D learning game, which is aimed at helping students of age from 10 to 13 learn English in a fun
and engaging way. After the success of the first game, Universal Learning Games
AB engages Sigma team in creation of a new multiplayer adventure game the Math Minnits.
The English Minnits game (link to design portfolio) is a complimentary teaching
material, which can be easily implemented in educational process and follows the
syllabus. The game includes colorful scenes and funny NPC characters that the
main character can talk to and perform requests for, combat scenes where the
main character confronts adversaries, and a magnificent Minnits slot machine to
train in English listening comprehension. The game has web version as well as
is available on iPad and Android tablets.
“We have
recently released an updated version of the English Minnits for web, Android
and iPad with new playing scenes and improved functionality,” says Konstantin
Timofeev, Game Designer at Sigma Ukraine. “The project offered a great
possibility to extend our expertise in working with Unity 3D and iOS/Android
platforms. We’re excited to continue working on game development, ensuring
interactive user experience and making it even more engaging for children.”
“Back in 2010,
we had the idea of creating a game to help young people learn contemporary
English – in schools and at home. Of course, we faced the challenge of finding
a partner. Our team was glad about Sigma Technology’s and Sigma Ukraine’s
readiness to flow into the process of the product creation, their technological
know-how and amazing graphics including their 3D models,” says Jonas Lidén, CEO at
Universal Learning Games AB. “We look
forward to further cooperation with Sigma at the Math Minnits game creation.”
At the current stage the game is deployed to schools
in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, The Czech Republic, Spain and Colombia. Apps for
the consumer market are available on AppStore and Google Play.
“We have
substantial experience in gambling, e-learning and casual web games development
and design using cutting-edge technologies and creating amazing graphics,” adds Daniel Björkman, Vice
President at Sigma Technology Solutions.
“New Math Minnits project is a great opportunity for us to get new experience
and bring value to the education sector. We’re glad to contribute to this
product!”
