Pocket Legends Mobile Game Expanding To PC

iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Android and Windows PC users will soon be able to explore the persistent virtual world of Pocket Legends together, in the same shared server set — a first in the industry.

Spacetime Studios, a Texas-based indie studio, is expanding operations following a recent round of funding from Insight Venture Partners, a leading global technology and internet investment firm. The investment will be used to extend Spacetime’s technology platform and pioneer new functionality for the mobile multiplayer gaming market. Capital will also be deployed to enhance the feature set of the Spacetime 3D MMO game engine, before licensing it to other game developers.

"The Spacetime Engine offers seamless global multiplayer gameplay to anyone with an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch over 3G, Edge, and wireless networks. We plan to add Android and PC users to the mix." said Anthony L. Sommers, co-founder and CTO of Spacetime Studios. "In the near future, it will be possible to be on the bus in California with your iPhone, playing with someone in a park in France on their Android device, and both be playing in the same server set with someone in South Korea on their PC."

The Spacetime Engine, Spacetime’s 3D MMO technology platform and tools, will be available to developers sometime in 2011. The Spacetime Engine will be the first 3D MMO engine designed to support a global player-base on different devices, including mobile, interacting together in the same server-set.

"Providing players, no matter where they are, with a single deep, seamless 3D MMO gaming experience on multiple devices has been a dream of ours since the company was founded," said Gary Gattis, CEO. "We feel we’re at the forefront of a whole new market for MMO game developers."
