Niantic八年來一直努力堅持實踐"四處探索"這個主軸。

隨著我們技術實力的增長，"Niantic Real World Platform"技術平台終於誕生。

"Adventure Sync"就是我們使用"Niantic Real World Platform"技術平台在Pokemon Go
遊戲中推出的嶄新功能。

大家都知道，大小老智與大小老霞們非常愛四處探索抓寶，今年(2018)至今我們已經
見到比去年(2017)多出53%的步行距離。有很多玩家跟我們分享抓寶越抓越健康的故事，
這讓我們非常開心。

"Adventure Sync"是甚麼?

這個新系統"Adventure Sync"將會在背景與iOS HealthKit(iOS用戶)、
Android Google Fit(Android系統用戶)這兩支app同步

透過這個新系統，玩家將能
1. 獲得"個人專屬週報"，告訴玩家當周步行距離、燃燒卡路里數、
各種移動方式的統計(步行/腳踏車或是其他)
2. 遛寶貝/孵蛋將更有效率
3. 每周都有機會獲得與里程數連動的獎勵

"Adventure Sync"系統將很快上線(文中沒有提到確切日期)

Niantic’s commitment to activity and exploration is a theme that we’ve
touched on countless times over the past eight years, and as our
technological capabilities continue to grow, we strive to think critically
about how our players can get more from discovering the world around them.
Today, we’re excited to introduce Adventure Sync, a new Niantic Real World
Platform gameplay system that will give our players even more reasons to get
outside, explore the world and lead more active lifestyles. Adventure Sync,
which is first being implemented in Pokémon GO, gives players the ability to
record their steps with just the phone in their pockets. This key feature
unlocks a wide variety of gameplay opportunities on the Niantic Real World
Platform, serving as an efficient and phone-friendly high-engagement tool
that inspires players to head out into their local communities. We’re
looking forward to finding new and exciting ways to implement it in our
other games in the future.

It’s no surprise that Pokémon GO Trainers love to get outside and walk.
So far in 2018, Trainers have already walked an astonishing 53 percent more
while playing Pokémon GO than they did in 2017. In a recent international
survey of nearly 2,000 Trainers, we found that 70% felt that playing Pokémon
GO had motivated them to walk more on average, and 64% said that playing the
game motivated them to go outdoors. Additionally, 47% of Trainers indicated
that they felt their physical activity level had increased since playing, and
the same number felt that playing Pokémon GO helped them connect with
others. This type of response from the community reinforces our commitment to
not only create innovative real-world games, but also to invest in features
like Adventure Sync, which provides a gentle but effective motivation loop
that encourages people to get outside and be active every day.

The new gameplay system will sync in the background with iOS HealthKit and
Android Google Fit, and give players access to a weekly summary that
highlights distance traveled on foot and other stats, including calories
burned or steps counted, if their device makes those available. The Adventure
Sync system will begin to roll out to Trainers worldwide soon.

Adventure Sync will give Trainers the option to apply their activity and
movement during their morning commutes, strolls about town on lunch or
evening jogs back to Pokémon GO for some big rewards. While Trainers will be
rewarded regularly in Candy found by Buddy Pokémon or Eggs hatching more
efficiently, they will also be able to participate in weekly milestones for
walking that will reward them for their hard work.

We’re touched by incredible stories from Trainers—from losing weight and
overcoming anxiety to making new friends and even falling in love—and they
continue to inspire our feature roadmap. Adventure Sync is our next step in
rewarding more players for doing what they already love to do, while
providing motivation to get outside and go for a walk—whether they’re
searching for Pokémon directly, or simply enjoying the sights, sounds, and
people around them.

We’re looking forward to traveling even greater distances together in 2019!

Niantic CEO John Hanke
