GameWorld Technologies Expands Game Distribution Agreement
With Mforma Corporation
LOS ANGELES, E3, May 23 /PRNewswire/ -- GameWorld Technologies, creators
of PureVis, a fully visual development environment for networked applications
across any Java enabled system or device, announced today that Mforma
Corporation, an open application development platform provider for the
wireless market, will distribute five additional titles from GameWorld's
wireless games' catalog to Mforma's mobile operator constituency.
GameWorld's SMS-based games: Pundit, Legend Quest, Magic Touch, Temp
Agency and Earthball will be available to operators around the globe through
Mforma, joining their previous titles Women Are Smarter? and the award-winning
Slam!. Mforma's Mserver platform enables content partners and carriers to
distribute, manage and provision applications on a wireless network,
increasing the opportunity for mobile operators to differentiate their
offerings and generate additional wireless data revenues.
The additional GameWorld titles include:
Pundit is a multi-player polling game where the object is to answer
topical questions provided by a moderator. Those who most correctly predict
the outcome of the player polls are crowned Pundits, whose opinions on future
questions are available to all players. Accolades are optional.
Legend Quest is a fantasy-themed adventure game laced with humor. Temp
Agency puts a player on the hunt for a satisfying romance and a job that won't
drive him crazy. And Magic Touch is a game of narrative vignettes where the
player takes the roll of a modern witch in the style of "Sabrina" or
"Charmed."
Earthball is a massively multi-player game in which players join or create
clans for competition in a rollicking 24-hour global competition. Clans join
together on one of three teams pushing a giant ball across a huge virtual
arena. Teamwork, coordination and clever phrasing can catapult a clan (or
individual player) to greatness.
"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. "Mforma's
technology and support team, strong relationships with wireless network
operators, and the GameWorld team's deep knowledge of the mobile entertainment
were key elements in forging our relationship."
"Based on our existing relationship with GameWorld Technologies and
success thus far, we decided that GameWorld would be a first-rate partner to
move forward with," said Christophe Watkins, VP of Media, Mforma. "The
company continues to develop compelling applications and content that will
help drive wireless data traffic for the carrier, while giving the subscriber
attention-grabbing games and content to test their knowledge from love and
life and challenging their skills at competition on a global scale."
The GameWorld entertainment package is now available. Network operators
that are interested in offering the GameWorld Technologies' entertainment
products, please contact GameWorld Technologies or Mforma Corporation
