This was a game we built for CONAFOR, the Mexican government agency in charge of protecting forests. The whole idea was to teach players about firefighting in a fun way. Using Kinect, you controlled a little helicopter by moving your hands like a steering wheel. You could fly around, lower altitude to refill your water tank, and then drop the water to put out fires. One of the coolest parts was that we didn’t just use Kinect “as is.” We made a custom plugin in C++ just for this game, so the controls felt smooth and responsive. It was honestly a blast to develop and even more fun to play. At the official event where the game was presented, even the president of Mexico got to play it. That moment was pretty surreal for me.
