About “#Compass: Combat Providence Analysis System”
“#Compass*: Combat Providence Analysis System” is a real-time fighting game in which players form 3-player teams with their friends for “3-minute battles”, competing with teams of other players to capture bases placed on the stage. By collecting skill cards, players can prepare for competition by creating the strongest decks with a variety of combination-based strategies. It represents a completely new genre of fighting game that packs elements of action games, strategy games, and card games into 3-minute battles.

*)
“#Compass,” which stands for “COMbat Providence Analysis System,” is a game set in a fictional social media world where players communicate with each other through battles. With functions similar to a real-life social networking site, it provides a venue not only for battles, but also for players to discuss game strategies and exchange information about tournament events.

For this project, NHN PlayArt is handling the development and operation of the game system, while DWANGO is providing IP from creators active on its niconico video service and incorporating the niconico smartphone dev kit*1. Everything from game planning and development to design, music production, and game commentary is performed while drawing on the strengths of both companies.
