CHATBLADE
MMORPG Middleware Chat SDK Released |
|
Speeds Development of Chat in Online
Games while Reducing Cost and Improving Quality and Features |
|

Eugene, Oregon, November 27th, 2007 - New game
middleware unsheathed. ChatBlade allows developers of Massively
Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG's) to rapidly incorporate
state-of-the-art Chat functionality into their games. ChatBlade trims
development costs and reduces development time by supplying feature-rich
Chat middleware that is designed to be easily integrated into online
games. ChatBlade ships as C++ source code, and includes extensive HTML
documentation. |
|
|
|
Online game development can typically be enhanced by
incorporating various middleware components such as Trees, Graphics, AI,
Sound, and Physics. Now, with the release of ChatBlade, game
studios can rapidly include full-featured, robust Chat in their games
with minimal effort. |

"We wanted to create a Chat component where the
Players were in control", states Flex Dolphynn, software architect
of ChatBlade. "Moving from game to game and having the Group Chat
command change from /g, to /p, to /team is frustrating for MMORPG
players. ChatBlade gives developers the ability to let Players choose
their own Slash Commands and incorporates the best Chat features found
across multiple games." |
| |
|
| |
ChatBlade is fully Unicode compliant, enabling Chat in
all the worlds languages, including traditional Chinese, Korean,
Swedish, and English. It includes support for features such as moods
(Happy, Playful, etc.), in-game languages (Elvish, Galactic, etc.),
drunken speech, and Chat filtering. ChatBlade has pioneered new
innovations such as the /nickname slash command for use in /tells and
priority Chat channels to facilitate raiding. ChatBlade also enables
developers to allow players to customize the slash command interface to
whatever they desire. Games which incorporate ChatBlade allow players
who have played previous MMORPG's to use the slash commands that they
are accustomed to. Players are not forced to learn a new set of
commands. |

ChatBlade is available for immediate evaluation by
interested Gaming Studios. |
