Golden Orb is dedicated to fulfilling wishes. On the one hand the wish of the two founders of being able to enjoy their work by creating products which they are wholeheartedly proud of. On the other hand the wish of the users of their apps for good entertainment. The independent development studio founded in 2018 by Katharina Kühn and Sonja Hawranke creates interactive picture book apps for smartphones and tablet computers which tell traditional stories the Golden Orb way. It is very important to the two developers that their apps are fully suitable for children. This is not limited to the story itself or the usability of the app but also includes the business model: The interactive picture books are sold at a fixed price, they contain neither advertisement nor in-app purchase options.In their interpretation of the traditional stories they emphasize self-reliance and a tolerant, caring world view. The characters they create take control of their fates and deliberately challenge stereotypical beauty concepts. The characters exhibit their own kind of beauty which is mainly supported by their inner values and their behavior towards other beings, not so much by outer appearance like a super slim waistline or an exceedingly muscular body structure. The developers would like to convey to children early on that beauty is diverse and not limited to certain patterns.
