Paraworld presents Beyond3000™ at the Game Developers
Conference in San Jose, a game Made with Virtools, The Behavior
Company.
Beyond3000 is a massive multiplayer online game; a genre-mix of real-time strategy, action, and adventure game, where fast response and quick reaction times are just as important as tactical skills. Says Kay Kraemer, CEO of Paraworld "We wanted cutting-edge interactive 3D technology for Beyond3000, and we wanted it fast. Paraworld looked to Virtools for software solutions that have the flexibility to integrate with our client side technologies. With the smooth production process inherent in Virtools drag-and-drop behavioral scripting language and intuitive graphic user interface, the process from concept to delivery for Beyond3000 has been dramatically reduced."
