See How Devs Turn Kids' Activities Into A Walking Simulation Game

Here is a great example of how real-life activities inspire game developers. Reddit user AdFragrant6927 shares where the idea of their upcoming title comes from: 

Bambas! is a walking simulator that celebrates urban culture, and what's most important, it helps you recall the pure fun of those childish activities that almost all of us ever did: stepping on manhole covers (without falling down to the center of the earth or ported to a hidden world), walking on the curbs, kicking tin cans, "feeding" pigeons with paper balls, navigating crosswalks, and more. "Use the controller’s sticks and triggers to move each sneaker independently, mimicking the motion of your own feet. " 

In the vibrant Mediterranean city, streets are your playground. You will face hundreds of challenges, and each step will be an adventure. Besides walking around, you can even climb up, skateboard, parkour, and show off acrobatic skills on a seesaw and platform. Your activities and achievements will unlock a treasure trove of customizable sneakers.

The game offers a sandbox environment to explore, where you might encounter hidden spots with secrets or characters who'll lead you on unexpected journeys. 

Bambas! has been created by DevilishGames, and the development started last March. Here's a look at how it started and evolved: 

There is a free demo version available on Steam for those eager to try it. And if you don't want to miss out on the game's launch that's scheduled for later this year, don't hesitate to add it to your Steam wishlist and follow the developer on X/Twitter.
