TAIPEI, March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GigaMedia Limited
(NASDAQ: GIGM) today announced attendance to the "Game Connection
America 2015" event in San
Francisco from March
2nd to March
5th. The Company is aiming at introducing new in-house developed
games, while exploring
overseas partners for more business opportunities to expand its
international presence.
The Company had three games for its premier promotion at the
event, namely "Fantasy League", "Deadtopia" and "JaeJae Guardians".
The first two titles were
developed in partnership with Korean game studios, whereas the
latter title was
developed by
GigaMedia.
"Fantasy League" is a 3D RPG about collecting Creature
characters and quest adventures in a 3D picture book, with a Korean styled art theme experience.
Players can make use of creature's
various skills, formation and class effects to form a powerful team
to battle against the evil forces.
"Deadtopia" is a cross-platform FPS (first person shooting)
game, powered by Unreal Engine 3 for both PC and mobile devices.
Featured by various game modes and battle scenes, this game also
enables the players to play in virtual reality which increases excitement and involvement.
"Deadtopia" is expected to be available on the market in the second
quarter of 2015.
"JaeJae Guardians" is a self-developed, tower defense casual
mobile game. JaeJae, a famous Taiwanese illustrator and an IP
acquired by GigaMedia, is the leading character of the game. The
storyline illustrates JaeJae on an adventure to save another
character while recruiting companions along her journey for
support. "JaeJae Guardians" is featured by its triple row battle
strategy where players now must consider enemies coming in three
row lines instead of the classic simple line tactic.
All three games received enthusiastic responses from publishers
and developers at the event. Publishers from different countries
showed high interest in licensing the demonstrated three games. The
Company will carefully evaluate and select appropriate publishers
for partnership and expect all three games to be released on the
market for players in the second quarter this year.
