Company: Emspire eSports
Brief Description:
As the name suggests the focus of our products is on the emerging eSports gaming scene. Currently we are producing a range of gaming applications used for practising and improving specific skills used in eSports competitions on titles such as Counterstrike and Warcraft. These training devices will be marketed to amateur and professional eSports enthusiasts alike.
SKU?s:
Our primary production platform is the iPhone. We will also be looking to expand these applications to other mobile gaming devices and platforms such as Windows 7 Mobile, iPad and Android.
The current intention is to develop the applications in Flash using Action Script 3, and use the Adobe CS5 iPhone Packager to convert them to native iPhone applications, in order to make the applications easily portable to other platforms. I am not a programmer and I am happy to discuss this and other options with programmers that come on board for the project.
