Buy Somewhere Announced
Melbourne, Australia - November 7, in the year of our Lord
2016 - After more than three years of development, Buy Somewhere
has successfully debuted at PAX Australia. The team showcased
the breakthrough location-based gameplay to thousands of PAX
Australia attendees and hundreds of media.
At PAX Australia, the Buy Somewhere team demonstrated a deep
data-driven and curated world and announced plans for a VIP
closed beta in the coming months. A full worldwide release is
set to follow in 2017. Fans also received their first look at
the live-action trailer.
Buy your dream house, your favourite cafe, a theme park or a
museum. Compete with family and friends for the ownership of
real-world property. Buy Somewhere lets you build your dream
property empire with the most advanced geo-locational mapping
ever devised. It transforms the entire world into a giant 3D
game board - and it's free.
"Mr. Somewhere", the player's guide and mentor, helps players on
their journey to build their property portfolio. Players can
build diverse collections, comprised of over 60 different
property types ranging from small businesses, to restaurants to
train stations and even landmarks like the Sydney Opera House.
Scored a piece of hot property? Earn rent on that location - and
use it to snap up another! Defend your property from takeovers,
trade deeds with friends, grow your empire and make your
fortune. But watch out! You'll also need to contend with the
nefarious "Mr. Nowhere" who's always on the prowl to steal your
favourite places!
The developers aim to deliver a rich gameplay experience for all
players. Once you own a property, you can continue to manage
your collection from home and compete against rivals - so the
fun never stops, whether you're on move or on the couch.
Buy Somewhere Founder & Game Designer, Nick Griffiths was glad
to finally be able to share the game with the world, commenting,
"We've been in development for a long time. There's still a long
way to go, but we're incredibly proud of what we've
accomplished. To us, games that have been released thus-far in
this space didn't fully realise the potential uses of location
data. Today we've lifted the veil on what our vision of this has
transformed into.
