Signature Devices' Game Developer and Publishing Subsidiary, Graffiti Entertainment, Set to Publish Its Fifth Video Game in Just Five Months Monday August 14, 6:00 am ET
SUNNYVALE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 14, 2006 -- Graffiti Entertainment, LLC (www.GraffitiEntertainment.com) is poised to publish its fifth video game for national or international release since being established five months ago as a wholly owned subsidiary of Signature Devices, Inc. (Other OTC:SDVI.PK - News) (www.signaturedevices.com).
"Obtaining the publishing rights to five superb interactive video games in just five months is quite an accomplishment," says Kenneth Hurley, CEO of Signature Devices and Graffiti Entertainment. "Acquiring these rights from superior developers, especially those with a franchise character as well known and popular as Crazy Frog, clearly demonstrates how rapidly we have made the transition from developing games for some of the best known publishers, to becoming an integrated developer and publisher of world-class interactive entertainment games for the most popular platforms, such as PC, PlayStation 2, XBox and Game Boy Advance/Nintendo DS.
"We've been developing very successful games for a number of different publishers over the past 3 years," continued Mr. Hurley. "We believe that publishing our own proprietary games and publishing games for independent developers will prove to be the most logical way to expand our business exponentially with games that offer an opportunity for great commercial success.
"As developers, with 25 years of industry knowledge, we have recognized that too often large publishers rehash their products," says Mr. Hurley. "Instead, we prefer to invest in creative ideas and original programming that we feel will produce the next blockbuster game. This is gives us extraordinary opportunities to work with outstanding developers on breakthrough products.
"We're taking a page out of Pixar's remarkable success, that is based on new original creative concepts," says Mr. Hurley. "The fact that we have our own internal development team, gives us the ability to respond quickly and act decisively, in a most cost-effective manner.
"In a world where you may only be as good as your last game, we already have an aggressive publishing schedule, backed up with several concepts under development and discussions with other developers," concludes Mr. Hurley.
Among the games that Graffiti Entertainment is publishing for independent developers are:
"Chain of Command: Eastern Front," developed for the PC by Interactive Video Games, is the follow up game to the widely popular "Chain of Command," a historical WWII, 3D Real Time Strategy (RTS) and combat game. This new installment with US forces conducting 20 campaign missions against German forces will not disappoint RTS fans. Players take control of American forces during a campaign that stretches from North Africa over Normandy to the Ardennes. The game starts the player with a small squad of soldiers, and progressively introduces more troops until they are in command of a full attack force in the last of 20 missions.
"Red Jets," developed for the PC by Interactive Video Games, is a 3D combat jet plane game inspired by the Cold War conflict and the USSR Air Force in its prime. It features realistic flight physics, detailed cockpit and external views. Players pilot classic Russian jet fighters, such as the MiG-29 Fulcrum, Yak-141 Freestyle, and Su-27 Flanker, with advanced weapons and targeting systems. 20 missions are flown over realistic landscapes rendered from actual satellite maps. In addition, all types of weather conditions, during day and night flights, are visually simulated.
"Back To Stone" developed for the Nintendo Game Boy® Advance hand-held video game system by Neko, is a Role Playing Game (RPG) based on an original story with 20 different environments and about 15 hours of quest challenges that lead to magical revelations and surprise endings. A cast of cunning characters, such as Blobs, Explosive Dragons and Lobots, wage war against one of the last descendents of a world long-obliterated from the universe who can't remember his own name but has hands with the power to turn flesh to stone!
"Crazy Frog Racer," developed for the PC by Mercury Games, is the high-speed, high-octane game based on the phenomenal success of the animated cell phone ring-tone Crazy Frog character "The Annoying Thing(TM)" that is aggravating his way into mainstream popularity -- starting with 12 million ring-tone downloads worldwide. The Crazy Frog Axel F single tune has reached number one in over 20 countries. Its album received 2.5 million pre-orders in the United Kingdom alone. The Crazy Frog Racer video game that is being introduced here was this past Christmas' number one seller in the PlayStation and All Formats in the UK.
