Duo Working on 3D Games for Cell Phones

Interactive 3D enabling technology specialist, Superscape and US-based Cybiko Wireless say that they are working together to develop a suite of 3D games for mobile phones with the aim of establishing Superscape's Swerve technology as the premier 3D engine and authoring tools.

Superscape's Swerve technology is highly regarded in the wireless sector as a robust, flexible and generic solution capable of delivering a wide range of applications. Cybiko Wireless has over 55 games titles, including the first perspective view racer in the industry, the highly successful MotoGP game for THQ. One of Cybiko's games, Ki Tia, became the focus of Sprint's autumn TV advertising campaign. Cybiko's designers and engineers are currently familiarising themselves with the Swerve technology in preparation to develop a complete suite of 3D content covering the main game genres. It is anticipated that the first game developed by Cybiko will be available early next year.

Kevin Roberts, CEO, Superscape plc said: "I believe that this new initiative with Cybiko will prove to be extremely important for Superscape. Cybiko has a highly respected reputation for delivering innovative games to the global wireless community. Combining their skills and industry contacts with our Swerve enabling technology will, I am confident, enable us to jointly develop an extremely powerful suite of applications for global handset manufacturers."
