Kuma Making Machinima
Known for creating episodic military simulators based on the happenings in Iraq and Afghanistan, Kuma Games today announced that it is delving into machinima territory, becoming part of a project called “Leaving the Game”. They have produced a prototype using a game engine to help “create dynamic storytelling, delivering a customized movie-like experience in real-time to your game console or PC.” They are collaborating with IBM, Cartoon Network and Microsoft.
“‘Leaving the Game’ uses existing, widely disseminated technology to tell stories in a way which is simply impossible in the linear formats that dominate traditional and digital media today,” said Keith Halper, CEO, Kuma Games. “We don’t expect real-time renders like ‘Leaving the Game’ to replace traditional entertainment – rather, we’re here to demonstrate how entertainers should expand creative models, not just business models, as they embrace new technology.”
