Press Release Body: A new virtual world will offer a more immersive experience with an edgier look than other comic-inspired virtual worlds. The MechTechs.com launch is in conjunction with the first day of the Virtual World Expo in Los Angeles, where ShanghaiPop Interactive is showcasing the new world.
The MechTechs.com backgrounds are rendered to look more realistic and more like an anime movie. Its not like a typical 2.5 world where the views are mostly overhead, it shows more of the whole environment and gives a more immersive experience, said Scott Ownbey, Creative Director of MechTechs.com and CEO of ShanghaiPop Interactive.
The site will establish an online presence for MechTechs, a new manga series being developed by ShanghaiPop Interactive, by creating a loyal community for the MechTechs brand and providing fans with a portal to the larger universe of the series. This new e-marketing venture will allow users to develop manga-type avatars, or mangatars, a niche of online personalities created by ShanghaiPop Interactive.
The final version of the site, to be released in October, will allow manga fans to use the latest virtual 2.5 and 2.0 technologies to create customized comics. Fans will be able to insert their mangatars into expansive, predesigned comic page templates with themes similar to those of other popular comics.
ShanghaiPop Interactive plans to extend its capabilities to promote entertainment properties of various genres. Shanghai Pop will work with companies to evaluate market trends, design a working business model and properly position the companys brand within the virtual world context.
