Update on The Vortex for Google Assistant

Recently, we announced that we will be discontinuing The Vortex on Google Assistant, but that it would be possible to transfer your game state over to Amazon Alexa for anyone who wanted to do so.

It’s rewarding to see how many players from around the globe enjoy and intend to continue playing The Vortex! In order to give people more time to transfer their game, we will delay The Vortex’s discontinuation on Google Assistant until August 31st.

To continue playing The Vortex on Amazon Alexa, please start a game on Alexa (via the Alexa App, or on any Alexa-enabled device you may have) and give yourself a unique name there. 

Visit our support page, and send us the following data:

  • your unique name;

  • ship integrity;

  • amount of multi-gel;

  • memories of the past;

  • and other inventory (tools, etc.)

On both platforms. Once we have that data, we can start the transfer.

Here’s an example:

Google Assistant
Name: Jaime
Ship integrity: 64%
Multi-gel: 57
Memories of the Past: 99%
Tools: alpha has a level 2 repair tool, beta has a level 1 strong arms tool, and gamma has a level 2 temporal tool

Amazon Alexa
Name: Jaime
Ship integrity: 53%
Multi-gel: 16
Memories of the Past: 10%
Tools: beta has a level 1 repair tool and alpha has a level 1 laser tool

The game will be unavailable after August 31st; we will be unable to process any transfers after this date, so please contact us before then.

We highly appreciate your continued excitement and commitment – thank you! We have a lot of exciting, new projects up our sleeve, and can't wait to tell you about them. Stay tuned for more!

End of Service Announcement for The 3% Challenge

Thank you, Candidate.

You’ve been a great help to us all. You’ve gone above and beyond all expectations and overcame every challenge. You’ve been with us through thick and thin; you’ve competed in the global competition, shuffled through the maze's unruly waters, freed yourself from the cell, and went through the Winter Challenge. You’ve played every ending. You’re still in the top 3%.

You have ultimately earned your place in the Offshore; therefore, the “Process” is no longer necessary.

Therefore, we’re discontinuing The 3% Challenge on August 12th, 2022.  

As thanks for sticking with the game, we’re offering you every chapter of the game for free until Aug 12, 2022 so you can enjoy it until that date. It will not be possible to purchase any chapter as of today.

On October 8th, 2019, we launched the game with the help of talented people. Thank you, Netflix and Rio Games, for your work and dedication to the project, and thank you to everyone on The 3% Challenge team. We’d also like to thank the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa teams and our supporters and investors for helping make this happen.

While this is the final stretch for this game, we’re building new and interesting things that we hope will excite you just as much.  

Once again: Thank you, Candidate.


Obrigado, Candidato.

Você tem sido uma grande ajuda para todos nós. Você superou todas as expectativas e superou todos os desafios. Você esteve conosco nos bons e maus momentos; você competiu na competição global, atravessou as águas turbulentas do labirinto, se libertou da cela e passou pelo Winter Challenge. Você jogou todos os finais. Você ainda está entre os 3% melhores.

Você finalmente conquistou seu lugar no Offshore; portanto, o “Processo” não é mais necessário.

Portanto, descontinuamos o Desafio 3% a 12 de agosto de 2022.

Como agradecimento por continuar com o jogo, oferecemos todos os capítulos do jogo gratuitamente até 12 de agosto de 2022 para que você possa aproveitá-lo até essa data. Não será possível adquirir nenhum capítulo a partir de hoje.

Em 8 de outubro de 2019, lançamos o jogo com a ajuda de pessoas talentosas. Obrigado, Netflix e Rio Games, por seu trabalho e dedicação ao projeto, e obrigado a todos da equipe The 3% Challenge. Também gostaríamos de agradecer às equipes do Google Assistente e Amazon Alexa e nossos apoiantes e investidores por ajudar a tornar esse projeto real.

Embora este seja o trecho final para o jogo, estamos construindo coisas novas e interessantes que esperamos que o empolguem muito.

Mais uma vez: Obrigado, Candidato.

End of Service Announcement for The Vortex on Google Assistant

Interplanetary explorers,

We highly appreciate your excitement and involvement with The Vortex. It is motivating to see you love this game as much as we loved to create it!

Google announced it will shut down its Conversational Actions platform next year, which will preclude the normal functionality of the game.

For this reason we’ve decided to discontinue The Vortex for Google Assistant on August 12, 2022. [We have delayed this date to August 31.]

For Amazon Alexa players, no changes apply as we will continue to operate The Vortex on that platform as usual.

For Google Assistant players who wish to continue their journey after the end of service, we can help transfer your game to Alexa. Just get in touch with us on our Support page.

Thank you for all of your support over the years, and stay tuned for exciting new updates from us in the future!


Exploradores interplanetários,

Apreciamos imenso seu entusiasmo e envolvimento com O Vortex. É motivador ver que você ama este jogo tanto quanto nós amamos criá-lo!

Por esse motivo, decidimos descontinuar O Vortex para o Google Assistente em 12 de agosto de 2022. [Adiamos esta data para 31 de agosto.]

Para os jogadores do Amazon Alexa, nenhuma alteração se aplica, pois continuaremos operando O Vortex nessa plataforma normalmente.

Para jogadores do Google Assistente que desejam continuar sua jornada após o término do serviço, podemos ajudar a transferir seu jogo para o Alexa. Basta entrar em contato conosco em nossa página de suporte.

Obrigado por todo o seu apoio ao longo dos anos e fique atento para novas atualizações interessantes no futuro!

End of Service Announcement for Voice Quest

Dear Magicians,

You completed the Quest with imagination and flair. You’ve successfully saved King Arthur and grew up to be Merlin’s most likely successor.

Naturally, all adventures have a beginning and an end. Google announced it will shut down its Conversational Actions platform next year, which will preclude the normal functionality of the game.

For this reason we’ve decided to discontinue Voice Quest on August 12, 2022.

Thank you for playing and inspiring us to keep moving forward.

We’d also like to thank Google Assistant’s team for always working closely with us and our marvelous Voice Quest team.

Although this means farewell for now, we will have some cool things coming up in the future. Stay tuned!

Voice Quest presented for the Google Assistant

We’ve released Voice Quest, our latest title, exclusive for Google Assistant.

YOU CAN PLAY THE GAME ON SELECTED Google Assistant Smart Displays and Android devices!

The Google Assistant team picked Voice Quest to be part of their featured releases for the holidays. You can find the announcement here.

In the game, you become Merlin’s apprentice. The mighty wizard tasks you with a daunting quest: save King Arthur from sorceress Morgana, who wishes to rule Camelot. All Knights of the Round Table seem to be busy doing other jobs, but you won’t be alone! You will be escorted by a Brute who will accompany you on your journey through dangerous lands, full of adventure.

Voice Quest Merlin

With your powers of lexicographical craftsmanship and creativity, your task is to shout out various spells to pave a way through the enemies sent to stop you! By linking the elements of nature – fire, earth, water, and air – and an action word, you will have over 2,500 spell combinations at your disposition. The more unique, the better!

Try it now on Google Assistant!

 
 

Five radical innovations voice brings to gaming

Five radical innovations voice brings to gaming

I joined Doppio a year ago as a Product Manager because I shared the company’s vision that voice technology, and more broadly Natural Language Processing, would enable developers to create radically new games - games that have never been made before. Here are five ways in which voice-first games are unique in the gaming landscape.

The 3% Challenge is Now Available!

We’re thrilled to announce The 3% Challenge, our second title! We worked hard on this to bring something new to the space. The 3% Challenge has both a multiplayer mode with a weekly competition and an interactive story (a prequel to the Netflix Original Series 3%). The first three chapters of the story are now available for Amazon Alexa, and will be available soon on the Google Assistant!

The game is set in the world of Netflix’s “3%,” a dystopian future where residents of the impoverished Inland, after turning 20 years old, are made to participate in an experiment called The Process. “The Process” is a series of unusual challenges that were set up so only the most worthy would have the opportunity to leave the slums of the The Inland and go to the Offshore— a paradise. Can you beat the competition and make it to the 3%?

The game is available on devices that run Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. These devices include Android, iOS, and Fire OS mobile devices, Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Google Home, Google Nest Hub, and many more. For a full list of supported devices and help with opening the game, please see the FAQ. This game is also our first bilingual release – it will be available in both English and in the series’ native Brazilian Portuguese.

Our goal is to expand and improve the game over time, so make sure to send us your feedback! And if you enjoy the game, please leave us a review on the store and spread the word to your friends!

The Vortex is now available on Google Assistant!

We’re very excited to announce that The Vortex, Doppio’s debut, voice-first space adventure game, is available today to play on the Google Assistant!

You can play the game as a completely voice-driven, audio-only experience on smart speakers like Google Home, or pair it with a fully-interactive visual experience when you play on smart displays like the Google Home Hub. You can even play on Android phones and tablets, or on iOS devices with the Google Assistant app installed. With all of these new devices at your disposal, it’s easier than ever to jump into the game, build your robotic team, and explore the mysteries of The Vortex!

Just click this link to get started! (Tip: tap the link on your phone and you should be launched right into the Google Assistant app, if you’ve got it installed!)

This marks our first game for the Google Assistant, and we’re thrilled for all of you to try It out! Once you’ve played the game, feel free to send us any feedback you’ve got. And, as always, if you enjoy The Vortex, please leave us a review!

Happy February everyone!
