The eagerly awaited real-time strategy game ParaWorld reached gold master status today as planned
Heusenstamm, 21st August, 2006 Sunflowers, leading producer of computer games and specialists in tactical and real-time strategy, announced today that the real-time strategy game ParaWorld has reached gold master status. As scheduled, ParaWorld will hit the shops on 15th September 2006, exclusively distributed throughout the UK by Koch Media on its premium Deep Silver label.
Today ParaWorld - with a production budget of over 8 million euros, the most expensive game ever produced for the RTS genre in German speaking countries - reached gold master status. This means that the game can be released as scheduled on 15th September 2006.
The 3-D real-time strategy game ParaWorld takes the player into a prehistoric parallel world with exotic tribes and powerful fighting dinosaurs. Apart from the unique storyline and sensational graphics the "Army Controller" is ParaWorld's innovative highlight. It lets the player easily control all units and develop the people from a central point. This provides new and clear dimensions and control in real-time strategy.
