Canal+ worked with C4M to produce a mobile and facebook game tied to the Borgia TV series.

The game is a mix of investigations in the renaissance Roma and tactical street fights. The main story arc explores areas of the story left undetailed by the TV series.

The project required a complex piece of design and engineering and is one of C4M largest undertaking to date. To name some of the components:

New chapters are downloaded on the fly. This enabled the creators to go on with the productions of chapters as the series was on going.

A flash and mobile version one Android/iPhone made with Rapid-M. The flash and mobile games are perfectly in sync: if you play on facebook then play in the bus with your mobile, you'll start again right were you left the game in facebook.

For the tactical street fights of the game, the old streets of Roma were remapped through an HTML5 tool so all units seem to move naturally along the old streets, with the old city in the background.

The game provides more than 20 hours of gameplay over 12 episodes.
