Kallisto Develops New Technology for Authoring Interactive Entertainment
Targeted to Mobile Phones
FAIRFAX, Calif., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Kallisto Productions, Inc. is
pleased to announce the release of "Mystery At Work," a three-part interactive
murder mystery/game for mobile phones. This is the world's first episodic,
extended-play interactive story for mobile phones -- now available to Sprint's
mobile phone customers.
Accused of murdering your boss, you play the role of Harrison, a recent
hire in his first job after college. In this "Choose Your Path" adventure
story, you elude the police and discover the real murderer. The story exposes
the foibles and tribulations encountered by a twenty-something in their first
real job.
Alan Weiler, president of Kallisto Productions, described the authoring
tools Kallisto developed to generate this interactive story. "Using our
authoring tools, an artist, not a programmer, can assemble an extended-play,
interactive story. When the production is complete, our tool exports a
ready-to-deploy Java midlet. The interactive story can be segmented into
episodes that are downloaded from within the basic application. The tool set
makes it possible to rapidly create versions for different handsets, and even
different languages, without further programming."
Alan Weiler sees a large opportunity to adapt entertainment for the new
"small screen." "Really, any genre can be adapted to the phone. We are
actively seeking other studios and property owners that would like to develop
this kind of entertainment for mobile phones."
Critical Mass Interactive oversaw script production and co-produced the
game play. LoudLouderLoudest provided the sound track. OpenPath Products
conducted the handset testing. "Mystery at Work" was produced by Kallisto
Productions, Inc.
At Kallisto Productions, our mission is to create interactive, animated
entertainment for mobile phones. We provide software authoring tools, end
user players and creative services. Established in 1992, Kallisto Productions
has a rich history of developing interactive entertainment, marketing and
education.
