Upcoming Design and Development Projects with gotoAndPlay, Knowledge Adventure, Corus Entertainment, and Fox Broadcasting

October 18, 2011 — A51 Integrated is currently embarking on a full slate of design and development projects for clients that include gotoAndPlay, Knowledge Adventure, Corus Entertainment and Fox Broadcasting.

Earlier this year, A51 was approached by gotoAndPlay to create a multi–player game for the new SmartFoxServer 2X product. Following the successful release of the Space Race game, A51 has been contracted to deliver an additional sample application. The application will be a mobile iOS and Android–compatible, multi–player, Angry Birds inspired game built using the SmartFoxServer 2X platform. A51’s lead designer Steve Schoger, will be conceptualizing the visual style and establishing the graphics for the game’s characters.

A51’s second upcoming project is a consulting initiative with Knowledge Adventure on a number of their online game properties. Specifically, A51 will be consulting for Knowledge Adventure, helping to migrate their existing Unity games, including the popular JumpStart® product, from SmartFoxServer 1.6 to to the latest SmartFoxServer 2X and guiding the development of a new first person race car game.

Concurrently, A51 has been contracted by Canadian software company Creative D, to design and develop a microsite and Flash game, for the Corus Entertainment TV program Mr. Young. Mr. Young is a Canadian television series that premiered on March 1, 2011 on Corus Entertainment’s YTV network. Jocelyn Hamilton, Vice President, Original Programming, Kids, Comedy, Drama at Corus Entertainment, explains, “The show is fun and wacky, but most of all, it’s relatable to our audience; it’s fan base is constantly growing and is comprised of both kids and their parents.” The microsite and game will be developed to target the show’s youthful audience.

Additionally, A51 will begin a project for Fox Broadcasting Company, having been contracted by Red Tettemer + Partners, to build two Flash game applications for Fox Broadcasting’s House of Fanitude Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/HouseofFanitude . The House of Fanitude Facebook page, released this past summer, rewards fans of Fox Network Group's television programming, with contests and prizing. A51 has enjoyed a long collaboration with Red Tettemer, having developed a full featured virtual world named Scapenation with Red Tettemer for Tween Brands in 2008, and seven Flash games for The International Spy Museum in Washington, DC in 2010. Also in 2010, A51 delivered a Flash based Google maps application built for Pennsylvania Tourism, spearheaded by Red Tettemer.
