Introduction

Elephant Mouse (www.elephantmouse.com) is a mobile game development studio proudly located in the Research Triangle of Raleigh, North Carolina, a hotbed of tech innovation, game development, and tasty BBQ. EM veterans hail from the likes of Activision, Ubisoft, EA, Playdom, Zynga, and other industry giants. Weve released several highly-rated mobile titles, including Star Trek Rivals, The Godfather Slots, Lil Birds, and Archetype.

Robots Need Love Too is our new game that will be launching in September. A lite version is currently available in the Canadian App Store. If you are in Canada, please give it a try and let us know what you think!

The Setup for our New Game

We wanted to create a fun new puzzle game for mobile devices, and we wanted to target a casual audience who enjoy indie games. The entire team was invited to pitch concepts and prototypes, and we brainstormed tons of concepts.

One of the programmers created a playable prototype in Unity about robots in love. It was a side-view physics puzzler where the player tried to get two robots to meet. Though we liked the concept, we wanted to move away from physics-based games (because we thought that would be a lot of work for our small team). We kept the idea of robots, how they meet up at the end of each level, and the game name - Robots Need Love Too.

We focused on the mechanic of setting up actions, then activating the sequence to see what happens. Then our designer fleshed out some initial mechanics involving directional arrows. The whole concept was structured around a narrative of forbidden love (the best kind).

Sue's diet of junk food and snacking saw her eating 4,000 a day Was so large she had to make her own clothes using metres of material Decided to tackle her size after hearing a nurse make a hurtful comment Borrowed money from her father for gastric sleeve operation Dropped from 35st and a BMI of 79 to 15st and a size 18 Gone from taking 20 tablets a day for numerous illnesses to just vitamins Now able to get first job in 6 years and play with her grandchildren

A grandmother who used to eat 4,000 calories a day and weighed twice as much as a baby elephant shed more than 20st after she overheard a nurse say to a colleague: 'If I ever get that fat, shoot me'.

Sue Callear tipped the scales at a 35st at her heaviest and was classed as super-morbidly obese - meaning she could have died at any time.

The 50-year-olds body mass index (BMI) was a staggering 79 - almost four-and-a-half times the recommended 18.5 for a healthy adult.

She even had to make her own clothes using two-and-a-half metres of material.

Sue also broke several beds and had to use special heavy-duty handrails to drag herself upstairs at her home in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs.

But it will also provide more options for corporate meetings and events.

The hotel has seven new meeting rooms, with a total of 12,000 square feet of space. The new meeting rooms range in size from a 750-foot boardroom to the 3,000-square-foot Serenity Room. All of the new meeting rooms are on the third floor of the hotel.

In addition, a 1,900-square-foot patio outside of the Serenity Room offers views of downtown Milwaukee and can also be used as an event space.

In addition, the casino has a 500-seat theater on the first floor, which is usually used for concerts but also can be used for general presentations.
