Israeli developer tries a game about love and peace during an armed conflict

Israeli game developer Adventure Mob has been inspired by the fighting in Gaza to pitch a game about love and peace. The company is relaunching a bid to raise money for Bolt Riley: A Reggae Adventure Game on Kickstarter today.

Oded Sharon runs the Tel Aviv-based Adventure Mob, who tried once before to raise money for the game about a young man growing up in a poor area of Kingston, Jamaica. This game’s main character loves music and wants to become a Reggae singer. The player tries to help him discover his inspiration, write great songs, and put together a band of musicians. It is set in 1970s Jamaica. Bolt finds himself beset by gang members who want him to be a criminal, but he chooses a path of peace.
