Project & Story

Let’s save us the trouble of all too common überhyped marketing-speak, how groundbreakingly Coobico will revolutionize its genre. Let’s just cut to the chase of Coobico’s mixture of game-elements we are going to deliver to your webbrowser:
In Coobico’s online world,  you and thousands of other players take on the roles of settlers to a wondrous but run-down and near-abandoned island. By building up your neighbourhood you can compete with other citizens to become the island’s most influential resident.
It’s like a city-builder sim-game, with a twist; you are a tenant of your own city, as well as all fellow townies, with whom you can chat, share or compete.

Customize
It’s a cinch to personalize your avatar’s appearance from head to toe. You can build and customize your own cubicle – your personal space in Coobico. Write your profile and keep up with your friends.

Explore
Dr. Qubus, mad scientist and former owner of Qubus’ Island, left a lot of mysterious machines and ruins after he went missing in a spectacularly failed experiment. You can explore the island to uncover its rare items and the secrets of its ancient ruins. 

Build
Harvest and trade resources to build new structures, streets and green spaces. By maintaining your neighbourhood, you earn experience and influence. Eventually you will even grow rich and influential enough to found your very own city.

So, how much is Coobico going to cost? Nothing. Coobico will be free to play. Our costs will be covered by sponsorships.
Instead of squeezing money out of you for every minor item and activity, we want you to play more. The more your influence on the island grows, the more in-game-money you earn, the more you can customize your avatar and your cubicle.

This official developers’ blog will give you the latest and greatest about our new beta-service: Coobico. Coobico is an online-game and a community. It’s a chat and multiplayer, it’s free, it’s flash and browser-based. Think MySims meets Habbo Hotel meets SimCity.

Coobico’s development will be as open and publicly available as possible; we will share early sketches and artwork, animations and game-concepts here. Fresh hands-on about Coobico’s progress will be posted regularly, so make sure to drop by and keep yourself informed where the project is headed.

Best regards,
The Coobico-team.
