“Machine Zone” is the company responsible for two of the most popular mobile games in the market right now, “Game of War – Fire Age” and “Mobile Strike.” Clocking in at a daily revenue estimate of $429,789 and $1,229,409 respectively as of May 26, 2016, according to analyses by Think Gaming, the developer has had a successful run in the mobile game industry. However, a recent report by CNBC indicates that “Machine Zone” is intending to take over real-world cities as well; starting with the transportation sector.
Both games by the developer involve building settlements efficiently and defending them from invaders. Naturally, it involves some kind of smoothly operating system which allows for all the different moving parts to come together and yield the appropriate results. The next step in their bid for supremacy however, includes tapping into bus lines in New Zealand in a supposed effort to increase operation efficiency.
Machine Zone founder and CEO Gabe Leydon spoke to CNBC about their project, providing hints as to how they are intending to accomplish this task.
"Machine Zone is really a real-time technology company,” he said. “We've been focusing on many-to-many, kind of massive environments where millions of people can interact with each other at once.
"Soon … entire cities will be networked in one real-time environment, which will create a level of efficiency that the world hasn't seen yet," he added.
What Leydon is basically saying is that he wants to do to actual cities what he has been doing to his games. If he succeeds, huge chunks of places like New Zealand could be under the control of his company.
Of course, this isn’t as sinister as it sounds since governments have always tapped private sectors to help with innovative solutions to old problems. In the case of New Zealand, “Machine Zone” will be providing them with an app that provides them with a complete view of their transportation ecosystem. This would then lead to a more efficient management of the fleet of buses, improving travel time, and passenger services.
