History

Chasing Aurora started out as a bird-flying racing game, prototyped in late 2010.

By spring 2011, Broken Rules managed to receive public funding from the city of Vienna for developing a series of games set in the Alps. Soon afterwards, a first multi-player prototype based on the children’s game of "tag" was implemented.

The multi-player mode was supplemented by a single player campaign, and racing made place for exploration and brawling.

We also developed the story arc at that time. The game was developed with Ginkgo, Broken Rules' in-house game engine.

In mid 2011 Broken Rules received the offer to bring the game to the recently announced, new Nintendo console as a launch title. An offer, impossible to resist. Thus we started working on a Wii U-specific multi-player-heavy game.

With a great deal of magic and dedication, we managed to release Chasing Aurora as a launch title for Nintendo Wii U.
