IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SnowFury Studios, developer of immersive 3D gaming and entertainment experiences for mobile phones and tablets, launches today Project Snowstorm, a Kickstarter campaign that will bring the kind of in-depth story and 3D visuals expected from a Console or PC title to mobile phone and tablet devices.
Featuring a rich RPG storyline that adapts based on player decisions and a real-time pet battle system, Project Snowstorm promises to put the gamer’s skills, reaction time and ingenuity as a player to the test.
The Project Snowstorm Kickstarter, with a base goal of $500,000, gives online contributors the exclusive opportunity to go behind the scenes with unprecedented, non-disclosure agreement (NDA) access to the creative team throughout the development process, allowing them to influence the project they’re funding.
“The Kickstarter community is helping us make this game and its Cloud platform a reality,” said William Diehl, founder of SnowFury Studios. “We want to offer sponsors the ability to be a part of our team and help shape the game.”
Backers can virtually sit with Hollywood composer Veigar Margeirsson to collaborate on an original score that will be used in the game, or set up a call with award-winning sci-fi writer Edward Willett to influence the Lore for Project Snowstorm, which is set to debut in Winter 2014.
“The video games I enjoy most are the ones that immerse me in a fascinating story, so that at the end I feel like I’ve personally lived through the story’s events,” said Willett. “That’s why I’m so excited about the opportunity to craft an epic storyline for Project Snowstorm, one that incorporates input and feedback from backers and fellow gamers.”
An expert at building scalable Cloud platforms, Diehl has pulled together an all-star team of 40 passionate gamers who also happen to be developers, 3D artists, award-winning musicians and writers for this project.
Other core game features of Project Snowstorm:
- Supports iOS and Android phones and tablets so you can play anywhere, anytime
- Personal and Guild PvP ranked events so you and your friends can compete head-to-head against players around the world for rewards and exclusive titles
- Advanced pet battle system with 1:1 real-time combat, 3:3 battle timer and 3:3 turn-based playing options
- Imaginative artwork and design within an expansive 3D world that includes up to eight zones, 10 dungeons, four playable creature realms and eight PvP battlefields
- Dual Realm creatures so players can build an arsenal of hybrid creatures and even create rare or super rare pets with enhanced abilities
“With your help, we want to disrupt the status quo of ‘tap, tap, tap’ casual gaming and create a vast, 3D world with real-time controls and a scalable MMO Cloud platform that clears the way for other innovative gaming projects,” said Diehl.
SnowFury Studios plans to make the game’s Cloud technology available through 3rd party licensing, so “an investment in us is like an investment in the future of connected mobile gaming,” said Diehl.
