Verse: Tactics Website Launches!

Los Angeles, California - Verse Studios announced the public launch of the Verse: Tactics website today, and the kick off of their Alternate Reality advertising campaign. Taking the notion of the product website, and expanding it to be inclusive of the product game world itself, Verse Studios is hoping to push their marketing efforts in a more creative and exciting direction than a standard website would offer. As part of the website Verse Studios has created the blog of Daniel S. Yoshida, which charts the events of a soldier trained with Verse: Tactics, and follows his escapades in the game world.

"We started Verse Studios to enable people to tell stories, and part of that is telling the story of the Verse game world, in this case from the perspective of a character within it. It's just part of our drive to make something that people can get excited about and emotionally attached to," said Travis Savo, CEO of Verse Studios.

Verse: Tactics is currently under development by Verse Studios. Information on Verse: Tactics can be found at http://www.verse-tactics.com and the blog of Daniel S. Yoshida can be found at http://www.verse-tactics.com/mftf/

Verse Studios is pleased to announce that they have officially released the first of a number of video game industry white papers the company is collaborating on. The paper, entitled "Real World Economic Structures in Massively Multiplayer Online Games", examines some of the pressing problems facing large online game economies found in many MMOGs.

"We saw a serious problem in online game economies that was leading to players getting frustrated, leaving a game, or circumventing game rules and mechanics. Rather than simply approach the problem as a rule enforcement issue, we attempted to find some solutions to the problems faced by large online economies. We are implementing some of them in our upcoming product Verse: Tactics." said Verse Studios co-founder and CCO Marcus Riedner.

The white paper can be found on the Verse Studios website at http://www.verse-studios.com/economicsinmmos.html and is available for syndication.

Verse Studios announced today that they have officially changed everything with the release of their first game, Fool's Gold. Fool's Gold lets players take up the role of the heroic gold farmer seeking profit from gold hungry characters who seem to have an unlimited amount of money to spend, but never enough time to spend it. Touted as the first Gold Farming Role Playing Game ( GF-RPG ), Verse Studios hopes to get a jump on starting a new game genre.

"We took a look at the market and saw a huge desire for gold farming based games. It was an opportunity to really get in on the ground floor and capitalize on this rampant desire to farm gold in MMOG's. The result is Fool's Gold, quite possibly the first Gold Farming Role Playing Game ever created. If you find repetitive activities and a fantasy setting exciting this is definitely the game for you." said Verse Studios co-founder and CCO Marcus Riedner.

Fool's Gold is free for download off the Verse Studios website at http://www.verse-studios.com/foolsgold.html
