A new living room play experience designed to bring everyone together for Sky Live

THE FUTURE OF THE LIVING ROOM

The living room is a space to bring friends and families together and forge new social connections.

The television has always played a pivotal role in this, and now Sky have taken this a step further with the launch of Sky Glass – it’s all-in-one TV system – and its companion Sky Live.

Sky Live is a small camera unit which sits on top of the Sky Glass, unlocking new ways to engage, connect, and enable audiences across a range of different areas such as wellbeing, exercise, chat, watch-along and of course gaming.

PRELOADED were selected as a key R&D partner exploring the affordances of the platform, as well as the game development partner for one of Sky Live’s launch titles, ‘Beep Beep Bop’.

SOMETHING NEW, ALWAYS

Each Beep Beep Bop play session feels unique, due to a dynamic system which injects randomness into every aspect of play.

Supported by the comedic mischief and ‘randomness’ of the Beep Beep Bop host, each mini-game is generated from huge library object sets. Social and Meme inspired, the game objects include everything from ‘Junk food’ and ‘Half eaten stuff’ to ‘things with wings’ and ‘Live emojis’ – everything has a place in this surreal world!

Additionally, Beep Beep Bop uses a system to randomise the colour palettes of the environments, objects and characters in each game, creating millions of potential game combinations of objects and colours!

Every game you play feels different, and every experience you have is unique.

LIVE NOW

Beep Beep Bop is a Sky Live experience, designed to scale with audiences and technology, through highly flexible game systems, content pipelines and infrastructure. It is available on Sky Live now.

“ We worked with PRELOADED right from the start of Sky Live and their mix of skills and creativity helped us to understand and unlock the potential of the platform. Over the course of working together we prototyped and tested out a range of new experiences, before focusing down on ‘Beep Beep Bop’.

PRELOADED were a great partner at every stage – bringing a very strong process and being creative, flexible and professional to build out a great game!”
