12/19/2014 - Pac-Man sculpture unveiled in MadridPac Man sculpture unveiled in Madrid
The sculpture, which is more than two meters high, represents the iconic figure of Pac-Man as a symbol of
the strong and prominent role that the videogame industry plays within the economy.
Pac-Man is a character
from the realm of entertainment who became a worldwide icon in the 1980's and continues to be as popular as ever today, given
that, over the last 30 years or more, Pac-Man has continued to star in new versions of the game, as an entire universe has
gradually been created that revolves around this amiable character.
Pac-Man has thus become a
veritable point of reference for the international digital entertainment industry and a symbol of
the strong and prominent role that this industry plays within the economy as a whole and in terms of job creation.
The commemorative sculpture has been erected at the Rey Juan Carlos University in order to recognize the fact that
this is the first public university in the Madrid Region to offer a Degree in Video-Game Development. It also marks the future
contribution that the University's students are likely to make to the world of interactive leisure.
The inauguration
will feature the participation of the Dean of the University, Mr. Fernando Suárez, the Japanese Ambassador in Spain,
Mr. Kazuhiko Koshikawa, and cultural and business attachés from the Embassy, not to mention representatives from Bandai
Namco, the company that owns the rights to the character.
About Pac-Man
Created
in 1980, Pac-Man is the longest-running video-game character: for more than 30 years different versions of the game have been
launched, as an entire universe has gradually been created that revolves around this amiable character. In 2014, Pac-Man will
be present on the market with a new television series on Clan, "PAC-MAN™ and the Ghostly Adventures", as well
as an extensive line of toys and video games.
Launched in 1980, Pac-Man was created by the Japanese designer,
Tôru Iwatani. Its name comes from the onomatopoeic Japanese word " paku-paku", which is equivalent to "yum", the sound
we make when we chew.
Designed as the main character for a Japanese amusement arcade game, this famous
figure became one of the icons of popular culture in the 1980's (some 100,000 machines were sold in the first year alone)
and has since become one of the most recognizable video-game characters of all time. In fact, Pac-Man has become a social
phenomenon, generating millions in merchandising sales and the sale of other video-game-related products, such as a television
series and even a top 10 single that shifted one million copies.
Pac-Man is probably the most widely
played game in history. In fact, it has been calculated that more than 10 billion games have been played around the world
in the arcade game segment alone. FUN FACTS AND FIGURES FEATURED IN THIS COMPUTER GRAPHICS: http://www.pacman.com/en/pac-man-history/index.html
About Bandai Bandai is a manufacturer and distributor of toys founded in Japan in 1950. The company is now present in Spain
since 1987 and in recent years has become the industry benchmark with their action figures, transformable robots, fashion
dolls, board games, etc. Some of Bandai's lines are the following: Big Hero 6, Power Rangers, Pac-Man, Tamagotchi, Pocoyo,
Peppa Pig, Lalaloopsy and Baby Born.

12/17/2018 - Mission Control NanoMech Lands on Steam Early AccessMission Control: NanoMech Lands on Steam Early Access
December 17, 2014 - Mission Control: NanoMech is now available
on Steam Early Access where users can contribute to the development of this game based on authentic nanoscience and real life
NASA space technology.
Find out more at http://store.steampowered.com/app/338030/NanoMech is a single-player action-adventure game in which players
use nanoscience to upgrade future space technologies to accomplish mission objectives. Set fifty years in the future as mankind
is colonizing the solar system, the player begins the game by delivering a shipment of raw materials to a factory on the surface
of Mars. A rogue artificial intelligence named D-brain has taken control of the factory and most of its robotic workers and
refuses to let the humans go. With the threat of a massive Mars dust storm cutting off communications to the rest of the Mars
bases, it's up to the player to save the other humans trapped inside the factory.
Luckily, several friendly robots
are on hand to help the player fight back. The robots gift the player with a special spacesuit and teach the player how it
can be improved with nanotechnology. As the game progresses, the player is helped further by scientists hiding inside the
factory who leave clues and information that help the player understand and use the nanomaterials in optimal ways. This improvement
process must be mastered by players as it is directly linked to the progressive difficulty in the game. Presented with puzzle
challenges, the player must race against the clock to keep their robotic team members functioning while searching for more
raw materials and the hidden scientists in order to get strong enough to confront D-brain directly.
NanoMech was
partially funded under grants from the National Science Foundation (Grants #0823411, 0835450) and developed in collaboration
with NASA through a Space Act Agreement. Nanotechnology, 3D printing and other cutting edge technologies will drive space
exploration in the future. The game is based on real nanotechnology and was reviewed by experts for accuracy. Players learn
about and authentically use these technologies in order to improve their equipment and succeed at mission objectives. As players
learn how to defeat D-brain, they learn about atomic structures of nanomaterials and their different capabilities. Nanotechnology
is science, engineering and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. Materials developed
using this technology have special properties not previously present with traditional methods.

12/15/2014 - The Hunter Primal now on Steam Early AccessTHEHUNTER: PRIMAL HAS BEEN LET LOOSE ON STEAM EARLY ACCESS theHunter:
Primal introduces a huge Jurassic landscape (24 square km/9.3 square miles) which will push your survival skills to their
limits. The very environment – dense, foreign, even poisonous – is threatening as you traverse it. And you
are not alone. Throughout the different biomes of the world loom cunning predators that not only hide from you, but communicate
with each other and plan deadly attacks. In Primal, the hunter often becomes the prey. At Early Access launch, theHunter Primal features three deadly species
from the Cretaceous period. There’s the Utahraptor, a fast-moving, medium sized dinosaur that hunts in packs. The
lumbering tri-horned herbivore Triceratops. And of course the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex, a brutal six ton predator. Throughout
Early Access and beyond, additional species will be added along with weapons, gameplay features and tweaks. The game is based on the popular theHunter franchise, with more than 4.5
million registered players. Whereas theHunter is an ever-evolving F2P subscription service, Primal is released as a stand-alone,
one time purchase. ”theHunter: Primal is a new
direction for Expansive Worlds”, said Christofer Sundberg, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer at Avalanche Studios.
“It fits perfectly within our portfolio and shows the true potential of the theHunter brand, a franchise we
have been working on since 2009. Move over, undead people - dinosaurs are the new zombies." Primal was hatched after countless requests from the vibrant theHunter community, and will continue
to evolve in the same fashion. During Early Access, it offers both singleplayer and multiplayer modes (up to 16 players) and
is set for full release in March 2015. “What’s
great about Primal”, commented Pim Holfve, CEO of Expansive Worlds, “is the way it was conceived. Members
of our community have been asking to hunt dinosaurs since 2009, and members of the team were aching to create just that game.
Having the team working closely together with the community has proven very successful with theHunter, and we’re
confident it will be the way forward for theHunter: Primal as well.” For more information about theHunter: Primal, please visit the Steam page. To request interviews, assets or Steam keys for review purposes, please
contact Thomas Wiborgh, Head of Communications at Avalanche Studios.
