BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Santaro Interactive Entertainment Company (OTCBB: STIE) announced today that it has completed levels 1 to 50 of the Liang Shan Hao Jie, a self developed martial arts styled MMORPG game based on one of the four pillars of Chinese ancient history. The game’s genre is 2.5D with 2D scene patterns and 3D character patterns, which presents great graphics and unique martial arts elements. Levels 50 to 70 are expected to be completed by January, 2012 and will include quests and maps, battle functions, faction relationship function, auction system, ranking system, event function, statistic monitoring system and other functionalities. The company expects to start negotiating with distribution partners shortly after the January completion.
Pursuant to completion of levels 1 to 60, Santaro’s THREE KINGDOMS MMORPG game entered Beta phase, and in September 2011, 1,000 concurrent users tested the individual server’s bandwidth capacity, which also resulted in the development team making significant technical improvements to the game, amongst the most significant being the transformation of the software into what the company refers to as micro-client, reducing the file to 30MB from the original 800MB, significantly cutting the user’s download time of the game. The micro-client software is far more compatible with users of large platforms including social network platforms. The company has been in discussions for the distribution of the Three Kingdoms game, and potentially other games, with several prominent social network platforms in China and will update further on this in due course. Mr.Yen, Team Leader for the Three Kingdom Game, said: “ we are excited not only with the enhanced stability and compatibility of the program, but also with the great improvements made in the game, enabling us to expand the cooperation model’s with our game with large distribution platforms.” The company believes it is one of the few China based MMORPG development companies to transform into and use the micro client software, which increases the market sectors available for the distribution of the games.
