FISHLABS presents first Alpha of its 3D-Fantasy-MMORPG for Mobile Phones "Blades & Magic" at Games Convention
HAMBURG, GERMANY 16th of August 2006 - FISHLABS, a leading developer of premium 3D mobile games, presents first alpha of "Blades & Magic", the world's first 3D fantasy MMORPG for mobile devices, to a selected audience at "Games Convention" in Leipzig.
"Blades & Magic", announced first time at this year's E3, has reached alpha. Among a big pile of graphical content featuring over 40 different and fully animated 3D characters and more than 120 skills and items, accredited visitors can sneak a peek into the vast fantasy world of "Blades & Magic". Approx. 250 locations, 24 single player quests (missions) and the sophisticated online multiplayer mode are to be discovered.
Michael Schade, CEO of Fishlabs, explains proudly: "In spite of all the limitations on mobile phones, we have brought a colourful and vivid fantasy world to life with lots of detailed 3D characters and 3D locations. Parallel to opulent 3D graphics and deep game experience, the greatest buzz will probably be created by the sophisticated real time battle system for the online multiplayer mode. At GC we will show this live across various carries for the very first time in the industry."
"Blades & Magic" is based on Fishlabs' mobile game engine ABYSS® 2.0 and the real time multiplayer features are powered by Exit Games' Neutron multiplayer solution. At press@fishlabs.net journalists can accredit themselves for an individual presentation at Games Convention.
