The GameWorld titles for world-wide distribution to carriers by
nGame include Slam!, an easy to play innovative action-puzzle game
with broad appeal to casual gamers. The Slam! game was winner of the
2001 Sprint PCS Java Micro Edition (J2ME)
Application Development Contest, where the top wireless game
publishers from around the world vied for first prize. Its clever
game design and four artificial intelligent (AI) opponents create a
compelling and fun experience on wireless devices. Future versions
of Slam! will enable people to play directly against one another via
the PureVis multi-user server system.
Based on short message service (SMS), Women Are Smarter? is a
mobile trivia game with a gender twist. Players answer trivia
questions with the option to make double-or-nothing wagers on which
gender player most often answers the question correctly. Question
difficulty level and information on which gender answers correctly
more frequently are updated in real-time while people play through
the SQL database back-end. Adding to the fun, GameWorld provides a
web interface through which players can submit their own questions
for inclusion in Women Are Smarter?, and receive credit for their
contribution.
"nGame has strong relationships with wireless network operators
worldwide, which complements GameWorld's proven ability to deliver a
content pipeline of original fun games made for compelling play on
mobile phones. We at GameWorld are very pleased to be partnering
with nGame, and we look forward to providing nGame with an ongoing
supply of great Mobile Java and SMS games authored by our third
party developers and our highly-acclaimed in-house team," said John
Greensage, CEO of PureVis. "We found it easy to integrate the
PureVis open server architecture to deploy GameWorld titles on
nGame's entertainment services, showing the strength of both systems
for bringing great games to carrier's customers."
"nGame is delighted to be partnering with GameWorld, one of the
early leaders in Mobile Java and SMS Entertainment content and
technology. Slam! and Women Are Smarter? are fun and compelling
additions to nGame's content portfolio, and will be rolled out in
the coming months on select carriers in North America, Latin America
and Europe, spanning nGame's massive direct distribution network of
more than 25 Wireless operators. GameWorld's decision to partner
with nGame on the distribution of these great titles, pays testament
to nGame's content aggregation model as well as to our superior
distribution, developer support and monetization capabilities, "
said Alex Green, Senior Vice President Business Development of nGame
Ltd.
To date, wireless games have been expensive to produce and
require extensive customization for each carrier and platform.
GameWorld overcomes these problems by enabling game developers to
rapidly produce original games in the 100% visual PureVis
environment without any programming. A PureVis developer only builds
a game or application once, and it deploys on most any wireless
carrier world-wide via the wireless platforms of GameWorld's
distribution partners, without the need to rewrite or port the game
software.
"Such simplification of the creation and broad deployment of
games and applications is a first in the history of software
development. PureVis heralds a new age of software production where
regular people can implement their vision without programming
expertise or an understanding of the complexities of networks," said
John Greensage, CEO of PureVis.
The GameWorld entertainment package is now available. Network
operators that are interested in offering the Gameworld
Technologies' entertainment products, please contact GameWorld
Technologies or nGame Ltd. ( www.nGame.com )
