London Company Starts Up NanoWars
Tim Harper from Cientifica, whose firm does a lot of consulting on nanotech commercialization, wrote in to say that his firm is advising Playgen on its new NanoWars video game. The idea is that the game should be based on fact as it's meant to be an educational tool to make learning about nanoscience interesting for 12 to 18 year olds.
Here's how they describe it:
The game's plot is to save the world from destruction by Dr.Nevil and his army of nano-machines and nano-materials, whilst the player stealthily learns about real world nanotechnology. The game hero (player) supported by Dr. Goodlove and his assistants use nano-imaging and quantum theory, create nano-machines, develop nano-materials, and utilise an extraordinary shrinking machine to shrink the player to nanoscale to stop Dr. Nevil and save the world.
It seems like a good idea but we think Playgen should consider making it Dr Nevilla and her army of nano machines versus Dr Goodlove and her army of assistants - that way female gamers might be attracted too.
