Creator of smash hit AR treasure hunt app Snatch lends further weight to team behind eagerly-anticipated AR combat game Reality Clash.
Cross-promotion of Snatch and Reality Clash gameplay elements in the pipeline
Snatch CEO & President Jamal Hirani has joined the Reality Clash advisory board as the development of the upcoming augmented reality (AR) mobile combat game continues apace.
Hirani will be lending his significant expertise to the Reality Clash project, having co-founded, secured funding for and released AR treasure hunt app Snatch, which to date has amassed close to 1 million downloads.
In addition, Reality Clash publisher Reality Gaming Group and Snatch will also explore the exciting cross-promotional possibilities that exist between the two titles.
Tony Pearce, Reality Gaming Group co-founder, said: “We’re delighted and proud that Jamal has taken up a seat on the Reality Clash advisory broad – his expertise and experience in building and launching a mobile AR app will be invaluable as development of the game enters a crucial stage. We are also excited at the opportunity to explore synergies between our respective titles.”
Snatch CEO & President Jamal Hirani said: “Reality Clash’s work to blur the lines between digital and physical experiences, along with the development of RCC, is revolutionary. I look forward to working with Tony, co-founder Morten Rongaard and the team to continue challenging conventional approaches to gaming and exploring the numerous synergies between Reality Clash and Snatch.
Reality Clash is a free-to-play game for iPhone and Android devices that uses the phone’s camera to render an AR view of the world on-screen, with geolocation gameplay inviting players to enter face-to-face combat with each other in real time.
Combat will take place in real locations – players can invite friends, join tournaments and set up battles in urban areas, parks and woodlands. In-game items, such as weapons, can be bought using in-game crypto currency Reality Clash Gold coins (RCC Gold), with all purchases ERC-20 tokenized on the blockchain.
Reality Clash is due to be released in 3Q18.
Snatch is available now for iOS and Android and encourages players to compete to find and claim virtual parcels, which can be redeemed for real-life prizes from some of the world’s largest brands, including Heineken, Samsung, Boohoo and Deliveroo.
