Hallmark builds Virtual World with Electrotank

Easter has pasted and HallmarkPark is starting to see more traffic. Couple weeks ago Hallmark released their first virtual world with the help from the Electrotank team, ElectroServer 4, and Electrotank Universe Platform (EUP) technologies. We are still working out some things but what we have accomplished is quite amazing, delivering a project of this magnitude in couple months. Create a character, get rare items, and play games with other players. Who knows you may make some new friends along the way.

ElectroServer Games on the Wii

If you are Nintendo Wii fan then you undoubtedly know that you can browse the web with it. The Wii uses the ever-popular Opera browser. Currently this version of Opera (version 9) supports Flash Player 7 content and older.

You can develop Flash games using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 2 and set the publish settings to output to the Flash 7 player and ActionScript 2. If you make the game primarily mouse controlled then your game will likely translate to the Wii very well.

Check out this great Hot Wheels game that uses ElectroServer and is available on the Wii! Mattel is building an impressive list of Wii-ready Flash games in their Wii Games Arena.

Developing multiplayer games for the Wii using ElectroServer is just as easy as developing a mouse-based game for the PC. Users browsing from their PCs or Macs can match up against Wii gamers. Pretty much all you need to know is this:

• Make the game mouse driven.
• Ouput to the Flash 7 player.
