Platform: Zeebo (BREW)

The App: Be yourself in the world of Zeebo! With Zeeboids you can mirror yourself or any other person and create a 3D avatar which works with other Zeebo games such as Zeebo F.C. Super League. Use your imagination and synchronize woth ZeeboNet through 3G networks to save all your games' progress online.

My Contributions

This app was in fact an avatar system for the Zeebo console in Brazil, heavily inspired on Nintendo's Mii for the Wii. The idea was to have this native to the console, initially distributed free over the ZeeboNet store, and that every Zeeboid (how we called the avatars) would be available for other games to use as characters. Subsequently, we managed to launch a few games compatible with Zeeboids and fans really loved this little app.
