THE DEVELOPEMENT

The "=7" game started out purely as conceptual artwork for a Dice-rolling Application. However the minimal art-style received a lot of positive feedback when 2D animation effects were developed, and our Studio's attention turned from a practical application and into an arcade-game mock-up.

Several ideas were brainstormed on creating a Dice-game that didn't yet exist, especially in the digital world. During an early-animations testing phase, we realised although only a small amount of Dice-matching games exist, none of them make use of the unique feature of dice where opposite sides equal 7.

Equals 7 was then born, and with an established art-style already under development, all that was needed was a clever algorithm to generate multiple ways to generate possible match-making mechanics for Dice.

Whilst still playing with the direction of the new Dice match-making game we had in early development, a small amount of market research was used and suggested a level-based game would be more beneficial to casual players and puzzle fans.

Once the unique algorithm was fine-tuned and the level UI's designed, they were all combined with our minimal 2D artwork, creating =7.
