Politics and games
Today we were surprised to find ourselves on nu.nl, the largest online news portal in Holland! The article writes about a leading party in The Netherlands, PvdA, who state that the Dutch games industry should be supported. Frank van Heemskerk, representing PvdA, says it is an important technological and creative aspect of the Dutch creative industry and that the sector should be supported financially and in general. Paladin is mentioned as one of the developers in the serious games industry in The Netherlands, a sector which he believes is an "undiscovered gem" of the Dutch economy.
EnerCities in Top 5 of Unity3D Awards
Boy, are we proud! EnerCities - our upcoming serious game about energy - has made it as a finalist in the Unity3D Awards 2009. It's not even done yet, and we are up in the charts of the Best Overall Game category:
The best overall category is the one in which we recognize the true best-of-breed content for the year and it was a tough task to say the least. There were many titles that came close to being finalists, but ultimately only a few made that final run at the title.As a finalist, EnerCities ranks in the Top 5 of this category, among rockstar games like Max and the Magic Marker and Lego Star Wars: Quest for R2D2. Furthermore, EnerCities is the only serious game in the crowd. For an educational game to receive such a recognition is simply awesome.
Read about the awards and prize winners at the Unity3D blog or check the press release here. EnerCities is currently in public beta, and can be played at www.enercities.eu after registering for an account.Read morePaladin in the news!
