The Zingoshi Chronicles - brave new brand for girls The Zingoshi Chronicles is in production...We are very excited to announce that we are now in full production of the first game in our video game series, AND, the first book of the series. We are incorporating some cool augmented reality features in both the game and the book and are launching at Kidscreen in Miami in February 2018. ❤
Seeing our concept art coming to life...It is thrilling (and to be honest, quite emotional) for us to watch our team take the early 2D concept art for our characters, and develop them into moving 3D characters. The team is also creating the environment where everything takes place – the mysterious and beautiful Planet Zingoshi. So, our fabulous characters are no longer lying flat on the page. They’re up – and running about on Zingoshi! Mesmerising technology will enchant kidsThis whole project is narrative in design. That means The Zingoshi Chronicles is strongly based on story and characters - and it always will be. Our attitude to technology is that it’s fantastic, but it is there to enhance the story, not the other way around. Still, we do have to say, our technology is pretty amazing! Kids will adore the puzzles, activities, characters in 3D and many other hidden delights from the world of Planet Zingoshi that they can trigger from both our game and book using augmented reality technology. 'Dragonfly' first of our series of books to launch February 2018Our Creative Director Bridget is currently writing the first volume of The Zingoshi Chronicles series, titled ‘Dragonfly’. Like our video game, this illustrated novel for junior readers will also contain fun and entertaining augmented reality elements. Our world class team.We have secured funding to create the first game and book in our series by attracting investment from a small group of fantastic, like-minded NZ investors. This is a huge milestone, and we couldn’t be prouder. We know that our investors are backing us because of the strength of our idea, and our wonderful team and our high-calibre advisors. Our investors agree with us about the importance of what we’re doing, and they totally agree that the world is overdue for some quality content for girls! Join us on social mediaWe are working closely with a social media strategy company to build our brand and connect with people who want to join us on our journey. We are starting to really engage with the parents, carers and teachers of young girls in our target market. We’re also starting to connect to people from all sorts of different backgrounds who are interested in what we are doing for a wide range of reasons (some for the parenting content, some for the hi-tech news, some for insights on digital safety, others for the focus on children’s media, and so on). It is our heartfelt wish to create a caring, positive and dynamic community around The Zingoshi Chronicles, and it is exciting to feel this vision beginning to take root.
