This is a concept that I made for a 2.0 version of “The Codenhagen Challenge” but the game was never developed. The requirements for the concept was that it should brand Copenhagen to attract international game developers, promote our local companies and have some sort of twist that included CS:GO to enable us to use the Counter Strike pro-players and the BLAST:Pro event once again.
The “Codenhagen” game lets you live the life as a coder in the fictive tech-hub “Codenhagen”, where you can explore the many aspects of life as a developer on the map of the city.
In the game, you complete the daily “challenges” in a range of mini-games such as getting from A to B on a bike, solving complex coding task for one of the many (actual) companies or helping your CS:GO team win the BLAST:PRO Series.
As you play, you build your Codenhagen Coder-rank from “Rookie” to “World-class coder” by earning CodeCoins by completing jobs, spending CodeCoins to improve your gear, competing in CS:GO matches and restoring your energi-level from sleeping.
