Fellow Crossing
An Animal Crossing inspired game, designed to replicate office environments and encourage socialization between fellows
Inspiration
The Major League Hacking Fellowship has been great, don't get us wrong. However, something we miss in our remote summer experience are the casual coffee breaks and candid conversations with coworkers. So, we decided to create a virtual experience to encourage unstructured socializing between fellows in an enjoyable, Animal Crossing inspired video game.
What it does
Fellow Crossing is a video game that encourages socialization between coworkers. It includes a coffee room with voice calling features, a music room with synchronized background music, and a personal office space with customizable furniture. These features were developed with the goal of encouraging small talk and mingling amongst fellows during their break times.
