About the project

Amalfi Renaissance puts players in the shoes of merchants reviving the port of Amalfi. They trade resources, send ships to Mediterranean destinations, build lighthouses, recruit historical figures and collect artworks to gain money and prestige, while decrees and noble titles set long-term goals. The BGA adaptation includes a solo challenge against a rival republic in two difficulty levels.

Challenges and Risks

  • 75 unique characters effects, artworks & private destinations
  • Original resource management with ships
  • Complex animation chains and a reward engine chaining follow-up actions
  • Several objective levels (decrees, high and low titles)
  • A solo opponent with its own bay, ships, lighthouses and granary
