Tintash
Tintash was approached by Redbird Interactive Learning as part of their projects because of our strong portfolio related to the development of educational games for kids. Following a competitive RFP process and the development of several demo prototypes, Tintash was one of five vendors selected for the execution of a large scale project involving the development of 75 flash games illustrating different mathematical principles of the Common Core. Tintash was allocated 14 specific games to develop across four different game engines. The Tintash team included two dedicated engineers, two dedicated artists, a sound producer, a quality assurance professional and a dedicated project manager. Tintash executed the engineering effort in the Construct 2 platform which streamlined the time and effort in developing for html5. We tackled engineering issues related to the smoothness of animations, the creation of particle effects to enhance interactivity and the design of liquid flows and containers to accurately reflect the mathematics and physics behind actual situations. Our contributions on the art and design side were also significant. Our team illustrated the original assets and backgrounds and rendered them to be consistent with the form expected for different age groups as per the style guidelines. The Redbird team expressed its appreciation at Tintash' work and showed interest in continuing to work with us in the future.
