AckNack

In this prototype of a game about network communications, packets of data - emails, text messages, photos and videos - move across networks from source nodes through buffer systems toward their destinations. The player works as a router to manage data through the network as the game presents the elements of network communication systems through a narrative driven gameplay. A robot dog named FETCH is your guide in the game as you work to foil Dr. Error’s evil plans to disrupt the network.

Project created as a part of PoNG Center 2021 Summer Internship in partnership with Center for Wireless Communications.
