Powerful Robot Games is a game development studio based in Montevideo, Uruguay. It was founded in 2002 by game researcher Gonzalo Frasca and Sofía Battegazzore.
The studio recently developed Big Fat Awesome House Party, a webgame for Cartoon Network that generated over 13 million accounts on its first year.
Powerful Robot pioneered the field of campaign games by developing in 2003, along with Persuasive Games, the first videogame ever commissioned for a U.S. Presidential campaign. Its team was also behind "Cambiemos" (2004), a game for the Uruguayan Presidential Campaign..
Famous quotes containing the words powerful, robot and/or games:
“Fate forces its way to the powerful and violent. With subservient obedience it will assume for years dependency on one individual: Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon, because it loves the elemental human being who grows to resemble it, the intangible element. Sometimes, and these are the most astonishing moments in world history, the thread of fate falls into the hands of a complete nobody but only for a twitching minute.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics.... We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.”
—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,
They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
