Fishing Cactus is a 25-person game studio founded in 2008 in Mons, Belgium that develops console, mobile, and serious games. They have released 15 console titles and developed 35 mobile projects in 2010. They have expertise in developing games for major IP licenses and mobile platforms. Their serious games division focuses on healthcare, safety, and education games using technologies like Kinect and Move. One project discussed is R.O.G.E.R, a Kinect-based game to assess cognitive behavior as an alternative to existing pen-and-paper tests. An initial prototype was developed and lessons were learned about the importance of communication and iterations when developing serious games.
