Kiloo connecting to the Terraplay Global Gaming Network
Stockholm 2006-10-23. Danish games publisher Kiloo is connecting its games portfolio to the Terraplay Global Gaming Network for building community features around its titles as well as opening up new viral marketing and distribution opportunities.
Kiloo publishes a portfolio of best-selling games based on global brands including LEGO™, Hugo The Troll™, Happy Tree Friends™ and PowerBabe. Kiloo's games are distributed through top tier mobile operators and aggregators around the world.
Kiloo has signed an agreement with Terraplay to connect its games to the Global Gaming Network and incorporate community, multiplayer and in-game billing capabilities to each title. Gamers will, among other things, be able to participate in global or local competitions, appear on global leader boards, play online games with players from all over the world, send game recommendations to friends by typing in their phone number into a game and have buddy lists to stay in touch with gaming friends. This is complemented by a number of viral marketing and community functions allowing the company to explore new business and distribution models.
“Kiloo's goal is to push mobile gaming into the mass market,”, says Jacob Møller, the founder and chief executive of Kiloo. “Terraplay's Global Gaming Network allows a wide range of new services to be introduced to our games. We're delighted to be working with Terraplay to create some new and exciting opportunities for our games in the global mobile market.”
“We are very pleased to have Kiloo join the Global Gaming Network”, says Sven Hålling, CEO of Terraplay, “Not only does Kiloo bring a variety of already popular titles to the GGN, but we will also realise some very exciting new distribution models together.”
