MyStory - MyTerritory

The Team
MyTerritory team was formed from three multidisciplinarity and multicultural students. Client in the project was Nokia Research Center. Taking each members background and interests to account we know we had most exelent team to accomplish the task at hand. Team consisted on project manager/client programmer, server side programmer and a graphic designer. The client was coded with Qt and QML, server was coded with PHP and offered simple, but effective REST interface to client. Graphical interface was decorated with mafia themed look-and-feel.

The Project
Goal of the project was to concept and create prototype of location based game to Nokia Research Center. Three months of hard work crystallized as MyTerritory, which is location based social game. Main object of the game was to conquer areas in cities by going around the targetted area. The way player moves (walking, bicycling, driving, etc) around the area also affects on the strength of the area and the points the player gets. Game also has strong social aspect, as all points go to teams, not individials.

The Future
MyTerritory got second place in InnoSummer2011 Nokia series. Jury appreciated the potential future solutions MyTerritory could provide. Future of the project is not only limited to one game, but rather to be a family of different location based applications, like spots application or travel guide. The game itself can be further developed to have more themes and gaming styles. Our team got very good feed back and representatives from Nokia wanted to continue developing this project. So maybe we will see the return of MyTerritory.
