Ongoing Project

Naval Expeditions Of Seawolf Kavurd

This digital game is about the first naval expedition in Seljuk history. In 1051, Kara Arslan Kavurd Bey conquered the Kirman region of Iran — home to trading ports — on behalf of the Great Seljuk Empire. He then launched a military naval expedition from the Port of Hormuz to Oman, took Oman, and brought trade in the Persian Gulf under Seljuk control. The game’s main theme is built on this historical expedition.

From the Turkish meaning of the name Kavurd, “Kurt” (wolf), the title is planned as “Naval Expeditions Of Seawolf Kavurd”.

Sector analyses show that hypercasual games have reached saturation. The project will therefore be designed for both mobile and computer platforms. The historical originality of the theme strengthens the game’s wider reach, and Turkish, English and Russian language options will be added in order to assess its export potential in international markets.
