Background Info
Owiwi is an HR self-service platform designed to simplify the process of assessing job applicants' soft skills, defining their strengths, and identifying areas for improvement via serious gaming. Being a prospective, fast-growing start-up, Owiwi was intended to combine the most effective game mechanics with narrative visuals and spice it up with the latest psychological research to create a gamified psychometric tool that uses players’ interactions to compose a comprehensive soft skills profile of the applicant.
The company engaged Program-Ace to back up the chosen game mechanics with sophisticated 2D and 3D art, animation, and visual effects, connecting each of the artistic elements to a specific interaction and optimizing the system.
As the Program-Ace team was not involved in building up the core of the platform, we had a tight timeframe to explore the applied game mechanics and specifics of the game and, together with Owiwi, jointly develop the main functionality by providing artistic elements. As the platform release was close, the task was time-sensitive and required close collaboration between Program-Ace and Owiwi.
