How Barbie Project Friendship Imparts an Important Lesson to Kids By ComingSoon spoke to Outright Games producer Ester Zanón about , Barbie Project Friendship. While there are plenty of fun mini-games that kids and parents can play together, it also has a crucial message about making a difference in their community. It is now available on consoles and PC. “It’s a Barbie game like no other! Try new things with friends and family, like caring for pets with Barbie’s sisters, making ice cream with Ken, renovating the arcade with Teresa, customizing scooters with Nikki, or performing a new song with Daisy as your DJ... and what Barbie adventure would be complete without an epic musical finale? Everyone will want to help Barbie and Barbie restore the community center and have a lot of fun along the way,” says the official description for Barbie Project Friendship. : Variety! Setting aside the technical improvement in consoles since the last title from 2015, in Barbie Project Friendship we tried to balance narrative with minigames and activities, giving our players plenty of material to interact with Malibu Waves while getting fully immersed in Malibu and Brooklyn’s summer adventure. Developing a videogame is always a team effort, and in this case it was no different: from Outright Games, we always get immersed in the lore of the IP we are working with alongside our development teams, which made an astonishing work this time. But we also teamed up with Mattel to ensure we portrayed such important characters faithfully for all fans’ enjoyment. For us it is very important to give our players experiences that they truly enjoy. We know that young players really appreciate playing in co-op with their families and friends, thus it was crucial for us to have this option available in the minigames, where the gameplay experience benefits the most from the co-op feature. It was crucial. Barbie has a long tradition as an inspiring figure and we wanted to be loyal with it, as we completely share her values. In my opinion, Barbie and Barbie’s collaborative spirit, working together and with their friends on restoring a cultural place for the surrounding community -and succeeding!- is the kind of story we all need these days, not just children. Precisely because of Barbie’s long history we knew both Malibu and Brooklyn were up for anything! We tried to have minigames and activities that make sense within the current canon and the characters portrayed in the game, but always keeping in mind what could also work in the Malibu Waves Community Center. Mattel’s input was also key on this aspect, helping us and the development teams to get the best Barbie video game experience for consoles.

Share articleEquity Bank Rwanda, USAID Ireme partner to boost healthcare financingWisconsin faces its first losing season in 23 years and the end of a bowl streak when the Badgers host arch-rival Minnesota on Friday in the annual Big Ten battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe. Minnesota (6-5, 4-4) lost to No. 4 Penn State 26-25. Wisconsin (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten) lost its fourth straight, 44-25, at Nebraska in a game that was not as close as the score. "Well 1890 is the first time we played this football team coming up and this is what it's all about," Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said of the rivalry. "And you wouldn't want to have it any other way, being able to end the season with one of your biggest rivals. I know our guys will be ready to go, ready to play." Wisconsin has 22 consecutive winning seasons since going 5-7 under Barry Alvarez in 2001, the longest active streak among Power 4 teams. The Badgers also have played in a bowl game in each of the last 22 seasons, the longest active streak in the Big Ten and third-longest in FBS. Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell is more concerned with the rivalry game than the winning season and bowl streaks. "I'm not downplaying it, I'm not saying it's not important, I'm not saying it's another thing that's on our plate," Fickell said Monday. "But when it gets down to this last week, it's about one thing, it's about the rivalry. It's about preparing to play in the most important game of the year." The Gophers have dropped their last two games after winning four in a row. Minnesota averages 26.6 points per game, while allowing 18.5, 15th-best in the country. Max Brosmer has completed 67 percent of his passes for 221 per game with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. Daniel Jackson is the top target with 69 catches for 802 yards and three scores, and Darius Taylor is the top rusher with 730 yards at 4.8 per carry with nine touchdowns. One week after leading Oregon after three quarters, the Wisconsin defense was shredded for 473 yards and five touchdowns by Nebraska. Braedyn Locke, who took over at quarterback when Tyler Van Dyke suffered an early season-ending knee injury, has thrown at least one interception in eight consecutive games. Locke has completed 56.4 percent of his passes for 180.6 yards per game, with 12 touchdowns and 10 picks. Tawee Walker is the leading rusher with 828 yards at 4.7 per carry with 10 touchdowns. He has failed to reach 60 yards in three of the last four games. Former Wisconsin and NFL standout JJ Watt posted on social media his assessment - and frustration - with the Badgers after the Nebraska game. "Losing happens, it's part of the game. Hearing announcers talk about how much tougher and more physical Nebraska & Iowa are while getting blown out ... that's the issue," Watt wrote on X. "We are Wisconsin. Physicality, running game, great O-Line and great defense. That is our identity." Wisconsin defeated the Gophers 28-14 last after Minnesota had won the previous two meetings. The Badgers have won 7 of the last 10 and lead the storied series 63-62-8. --Field Level Media
Uncapped wicketkeeper Robinson replaces Cox in England squadVICTORIA — British Columbia Premier David Eby says 25-per-cent U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods would be "devastating" for the province's lumber and forestry industries. He made the comment ahead of a meeting with fellow first ministers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Eby was scheduled to participate in the virtual meeting on Wednesday to discuss U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose the tariffs unless Canada and Mexico stop illegal border crossings and prevent illicit drugs from entering the United States. Eby said the lumber and forestry sectors are already strained by a recent increase in duties amid the ongoing U.S.-Canada dispute over softwood lumber. He said after the first meeting of his new cabinet in Victoria that the tariffs are "unjustified," and they would hurt Americans as much as they would Canadians. The premier said B.C. is a source of natural gas, wood products, minerals and other products that U.S. businesses depend on, and the tariff would hinder jobs and opportunities in the province while making "life more expensive for Americans." Eby and Ottawa have called for a united front dealing with Trump's tariff plan, which he announced on social media on Monday. Eby said B.C. officials had repeatedly raised concerns with Ottawa over organized crime and illicit drugs, such as fentanyl, in relation to border security. "It's a priority for us. It has been for a while, we've written to Ottawa about it. Doesn't justify the tariffs, but it does mean that we can talk about those issues as well." Eby said Trump's proposed tariff "doesn't make economic sense," and the measure is not necessary to address issues at the border. The premier said he believes B.C. has a strong case to make for the tariff being "badly placed" if Trump's priority is to reduce costs for Americans. "I think the premiers are unified," Eby said. "There are 13 of us plus the prime minister. It's a big group of people with different political perspectives, but on this issue of ensuring that we're protecting the people in our country from these unjustified tariffs, I believe we're completely in line on that question."
