Kuma Making Machinima

On November 19th, 2007 in Uncategorized -

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.”
