Orca Studios Joins Forces with Great Barrier Reef Legacy
to Help Protect the Planet’s Oceans in Fish Paradise
Five percent of in-game purchases will be set aside for charity contributions
MELBOURNE, Australia – Oct. 25, 2017 – Orca Studios and Great Barrier Reef Legacy (GBR Legacy) today announced a new partnership to fund a series of cutting-edge research projects – along with the purchase of the charity’s first vessel – through a percentage of Fish Paradise’s in-game purchases.
GBR Legacy will change the way the Great Barrier Reef is understood and protected by operating the reef’s only independent research vessel. With public, private and corporate funding, this vessel will be the Great Barrier Reef’s floating laboratory, interactive classroom, multimedia powerhouse, and an open platform for collaboration.
Fish Paradise features a beautiful underwater world where you can use your imagination and creativity to design a reef full of exotic fish and other captivating sea creatures. With more than 50 thousand downloads, Fish Paradise lets players decorate their aquariums with hundreds of coral, plants, structures, and more – and breed your fish to create more than 100 rare fish combinations.
Since launch, Orca Studios has frequently updated Fish Paradise to deliver a polished, stunningly beautiful aquarium simulation to players on both Android and iOS. Additional features and fresh content are included regularly at a breakneck pace. New reefs, corals, and breeding labs are just some of the game’s recent additions – along with daily login rewards, a community group chat, and even “mini creatures.” In recognition of the studio’s entrepreneurial spirit and high-quality work, Fish Paradise was awarded partial funding through the Assigned Production Investment Program (Victoria State Government and Film Victoria Australia).
“Shipping Fish Paradise was the challenge of a lifetime, but we eventually made it,” says Rushad Govekar, Game Director at Orca Studios. “The team and I have learned so much since then. Thanks to player feedback, we were able to make very real improvements to the game – and we continue to do so day after day, month after month. The partnership with GBR Legacy couldn’t have come at a better time. We’re happy to help in any way we can!”
“The Fish Paradise community is a welcome addition to our list of supporters here at GBR Legacy,” adds Dr. Dean Miller, Director of Science & Media at Great Barrier Reef Legacy. “Their support shows how unified gamers can be – and that their love of games can be a force of good for real-world solutions, particularly on the Great Barrier Reef.”
