UIEvolution(R) Powers Mobile Game Development With Innovative Software Solution

Posted on: Wednesday, 5 April 2006, 09:00 CDT

UIEvolution(R), a leading provider of software solutions for interactive content, today announced its strategic initiative for the mobile casual gaming space.

With the launch of Gameteller, a development tool specifically designed for graphically-rich, multi-level games, UIEvolution provides a powerful solution for creating high quality games that run on any device and any network. UIEvolution developed several commercially available games with Gameteller, including "The Chronicles of Narnia" as well as several high-profile entertainment titles to be released later this year. "The Chronicles of Narnia," the first true mobile role playing game (RPG) available globally on Verizon, Sprint, Cingular, Vodafone, Orange and Nextel, provides over 15 hours of casual mobile play.

Gameteller is specifically designed for developing and deploying games with storylines of any length because the application logic and images live on the server. Even users with low-end devices can enjoy immersive, highly interactive strategy and role-playing games.

"We're very excited about the opportunities that Gameteller will provide to the market," says Travis Beaven, Director of Consumer Products. "Designers can now make rich, extensive titles without the heavy burden of learning core development technology, and still see their products released on thousands of devices around the world. We enable a future where not only the game designer can add levels, but the actual gamers themselves. That is the true goal and power of this platform."

Content providers and publishers are already realizing the benefits of Gameteller as a game development platform. "UIEvolution's technology gets my games to the market faster," says Etesh Mangray, President of Mobile Lingo. "With every product we produce I have confidence that it will meet a high quality bar and excite our fans."

Gameteller powers game development with the following features:

Gameteller is based on UIEngine(TM), UIEvolution's cross-platform software technology

UIEngine runs on more than 450 devices and 20 software platforms, reducing game development costs and accelerating speed to market - critical elements to win casual gamers who expect a constant supply of new games.

Games can be created quickly, and edited easily

Pre-production of games can move quickly so ideas can be tested, played and reworked. Developers and designers can quickly map a game board, plot character movements and interactions, and create multi-dimensional characters.

Games can be dynamically updated at any time

Users do not have to buy or download a new game with each update because the application logic and images live on the server. In addition, the designer has constant creative control.

Games can be created without developers

Designers and planners can create their own games without expensive planning cycles.
