Further Come

FURTHER COME 

Multiplayer game for 2 players to deepen dating apps' experience

💜 About "Further Come" 💜

Further Come - is a proposal to dating apps to extend and deepen users’ experience. We see it as an in-built game, which you might play with another user, who were picked accordingly to your profile, before you had a “match”. So generally speaking, it is a so-to-say gamification of swiping. Further come serves to deliver our players two ideas:

__________

Trust yourself & your partner
and
Praise your body & its uniqueness
__________

💜 How "Further Come" does that? 💜

We learn trust through a core gameplay, which implies non-verbal interactions in the lead-follow concept, and trusting each other representations of our naked bodies to explore them. Stylized characters, being customized, teach us to explore and accept our physical appearance and it’s beautiful features. And since the game is supposed to be played before you know anything about your game partner, it guarantees anonymity and builds some kind of a safe-space.

Our design decisions are mostly inspired by, at first, tantric practices, which are spiritual disciplines, that combine meditation, rituals, breathwork, and energy-focused techniques to achieve self-awareness and union of the mind, body, spirit and partner.

💜 Trust yourself and your partner 💜

 lead-follow gameplay

In "Further Come" you play two rounds. They are same, but you switch roles.
One navigates the other over their body in order to reach all the randomly generated check-point. Signals are sending with sliding over the screen to the sides. So the partner receives light signlas of different intensity.
Following directions you reveal your partner's body, exploring it step by step.

💜 Praise your body and its uniqueness 💜

 character customization (under development*) 

To keep privacy and build a safe-space we offer our players to create their body representations with stylized avatar. It allows you to represent you body shape and some other features, like body hair, moles, tattoos and "soul" color.

*since the customization concept is still under development, so far you are able to choose one of the premade characters.
