Popular Franchises, Wider Distribution and Original Titles to Help Drive Continued Growth
Signs Multi-Title Development Contract with Leading Developer Blue
Heat Games
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2007--Demonstrating its
commitment to becoming the go-to publisher of premium mobile content,
Oasys Mobile, Inc. (OTCBB: OYSM) today announced the Oasys Mobile
Content Publisher Program. The company kicked off the program with the
announcement that it has entered into an agreement with top mobile
games developer, Blue Heat Games, to develop several new titles that
will be published by Oasys Mobile during 2007 and 2008.
“Through our new publisher program, we're formalizing what has
become a major component of our business, which is to leverage our
strong relationships with both carriers and independent game
developers to bring to market franchise titles that will sell
successfully both on and off the carrier decks,” said Mac Senour,
Studio Director at Oasys Mobile.
How the Oasys Mobile Publisher Partner Program Works:
Oasys Mobile has launched www.YesImNext.com, a site devoted to its
publishing program. At www.YesImNext.com, game developers who have
"The Next Big Thing" in mobile gaming can submit their contact
information and tell Oasys Mobile what they have to offer, from art
files to a playable demo.
Each submission will be reviewed and evaluated by Oasys Mobile,
and then the developers may be contacted for further discussion. If
the product receives a green light to move forward, a contract will be
drafted and a revenue share plan will be enacted to ensure the
developer gets recognized and compensated.
The multi-title agreement with Blue Heat includes both new and
refreshed products and represents an important building block in the
company's plan to increase market share in the mobile entertainment
space by developing and publishing triple-A franchise properties.
“It is fitting that we kick off our publisher program with Blue
Heat, given our track record for success with this talented developer,
which has set the bar for mobile gaming excellence," added Senour.
"Our goal with the program is to partner with other top independent
developers who are looking to take their mobile offerings to the next
level. We have the ability and the relationships to launch the games
on major carrier decks, which are not available to most small
developers.”
Blue Heat is widely recognized as one of the industry's top-tier
development studios, known for producing such award-winning titles as
Snoop Dogg Boxing, Two Scoop Tycoon, and NHL 5-on-5.
“This partnership with Oasys Mobile is very significant for Blue
Heat. We are excited to have the opportunity to showcase our
exceptional development capabilities and capitalize on the extensive
distribution and brand partnerships that Oasys Mobile brings to the
table,” stated Marcus Matthews, CEO of Blue Heat Games.
