Santa Monica, California (PRWEB) April 02, 2012
Treasure Island by cyberia, an animated interactive children?s book for iPad, has won the prestigious Communication Arts 2012 Interactive Award for Best Interactive Entertainment of the Year. This unique take on Robert Louis Stevenson?s classic children?s story has also won an American Design Award from GDUSA, and has been featured by Apple, in its app store, as ?New & Noteworthy.?
Treasure Island by cyberia is one of only 35 projects selected globally to represent the year?s advances in interactive and visual design. It was chosen as one of the nine best interactive entertainment projects of the year. Half of its 90 pages are interactive experiences, narrative animations and activities.
We wanted the story to reign supreme, so we cut the text from 70,000 words down to 4,000 and updated the adventure, dialogue and characters for an international audience of all ages. The apps look and feel are inspired by graphic novels, illustrated childrens books, cinema, literature and interactive media interwoven with three types of sensory narrative: illustration, cinematic animations and push, pull, drag and spin interactivity; the sound and effects bump the user experience into hands-on cinema, with the openness of a game. Our goal was to create an original experience for a classic tale. We think Robert Louis Stevenson would be thrilled.
