FEATURED / AR Hunting Games
ReelWorld Hunting Should Feel Like the Animal Knows You Are There
A real hunting game is not a target gallery. ReelWorld Hunting needs tracks, wind, scent, cover, animal awareness, fear, fatigue, and encounters that change before the player ever sees the animal.
Pokemon GO Proved the Map. Cabela’s Proved the Fantasy. ReelWorld GO Has to Prove the Loop.
The viral pitch is easy: Pokemon GO energy with fishing and hunting realism. The hard part is building a loop where water, habitat, species, tracking, tackle, and progression all agree.
