Massive Damage is building a next generation location based gaming engine with implicit social network driven gameplay. Our first game on using this engine is Please Stay Calm, a humorous location based multiplayer game set in the early days of a zombie apocalypse. Based on players' affinity to favorite locations and their proximity to each other, the engine will create organic teams of players who may be strangers but have common goals.
