Redwood City, Calif. – July 8, 2009 – Sharpen your stakes and keep the garlic handy.  Moblyng Games today released its newest social mobile game, m:Vampire.  The cross-platform title for Facebook, Android/G1, iPhone, Nokia 5800 and Nokia N97 is the first vampire-themed role-playing game (RPG) that allows players to add and challenge friends from Facebook and a variety of supported smartphones, making it the only truly social vampire experience of its kind.

“As the leader in cross-platform social games, we’re excited to release m:Vampire as the first blood-sucking title to span multiple devices,” said Stewart Putney, CEO and founder, Moblyng Games.  “We recognized the popularity of the vampire genre and wanted to allow as many players as possible to connect and share their gaming experience on a variety of social gaming platforms.  As the first release of a vampire-themed RPG on Android, m:Vampire joins our existing top-25 rated casual games, m:Mafia and Dungeon Quest, and demonstrates our continuing game leadership on the Android platform.”

Moblyng Games designed m:Vampire using the proprietary software behind its previous titles – Dungeon Quest, Poker Dice, and m:Mafia – which  makes porting social games across numerous platforms easy and seamless.  Instead of weeks or even months that some developers require to port their applications, Moblyng Games does it in mere days, giving the company the freedom to bring more varied content to their fans whether they own an iPhone, Nokia 5800, Nokia N97 or Android/G1 phone. 

m:Vampire is a vampire role-playing game that launches players into the dark world of Dracula and his fanged friends.  Feast on the blood of mortals, seduce unsuspecting runaways or conspire against enemies to earn money for worldly pleasures and gain favor with the elders who rule supreme in this engaging RPG.  While m:Vampire is free to play, the gaming experience can be enhanced with the purchase of additional in-game items and weapons.  m:Vampire is available now on Android and Facebook, with iPhone, iPod touch, Nokia 5800, Nokia N97 and Palm Pre versions coming soon.

PSYCLOPS’ dance creator iPhone application is feaured in a story in Billboard magazine’s March 7, 2009 issue about mobile digital entertainment.

Entrepreneur, Feb. 18, 2009 - PSYCLOPS featured in “Entrepreneurs Remix the iPhone App.”

Excerpt:

Still, developers are flocking to the App Store to peddle their music wares. Product developer Joy Kovaleski paired up with TV producer Muncy to get in on the action. Their product, Psyclops, launched this month and encourages children ages 8 to 14 to pair custom music tracks with animated dance moves of their choosing.

“What we saw as we looked at our market was [TV's] Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew and So You Think You Can Dance,” Kovaleski says. “We felt our unique combination of music and dance that could be turned into a creative video was something that wasn’t being done.”

Gaming apps seem to be the biggest sellers at the App Store, so Psyclops is a wise blend of music and game-like aspects. And the resulting music videos can be e-mailed to friends in a whirlwind of viral marketing that benefits the makers of the $1.99 program. The company’s founders hope to expand the app so that it includes a karaoke-like sing-along function, a personal photo feature and mass e-mail-blast capabilities.

Like other iPhone app entrepreneurs, Muncy and Kovaleski kicked things off with zero full-time employees and have so far contracted for services such as programming and marketing. Angel investors helped them get off the ground. “We hope to sell millions,” Kovaleski says.

LOS ANGELES – Feb. 9, 2009 – iPhone fanatics can now experience the PSYCLOPS music and dance movement by creating custom music mixes, dance moves and videos – and share their creations with family and friends.  PSYCLOPS, developer of iPod cases and interactive website, PSYCLOPS HeadQuarters, has gone mobile with the release of the PSYCLOPS iPhone application, PSYCLOPS Dance Mixer.

Similar to PSYCLOPSHQ.com, the iPhone application allows users to create their own music video with a selection of characters, funky music beats and animated dance moves that give each video creation a personalized touch.  After a dancer is chosen, users produce a 30 second four-track music mix at the Music Machine by combining a wide array of drums, bass, guitars, pianos, horns and DJ scratches. Once the user completes their music mix, they can then choreograph their dancers unique dance routine by choosing from a variety of dance moves.  They may also set the mood with an animated background or photo real background. Finally, users can personalize their dance video with a custom message that scrolls across the bottom of the screen while the video masterpiece is playing.  The final result is a shareable QuickTime PSYCLOPS music and dance video that can be emailed to friends and family.

“Our PSYCLOPS iPod protective cases and online experience have become so popular that we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to create an iPhone application so people could enjoy PSYCLOPS no matter where they are,” said Joy Kovaleski, CEO, PSYCLOPS LLC.  “The iPhone has quickly become a fantastic way to extend a user’s experience to a mobile platform.  There is nothing else available for the iPhone like PSYCLOPS with its unique music and dance creator that lets you make a video you can send with a personal message.”
