Corporate Profile

1. Corporate Profile

2. Vision Magnetar is pursuing a grand vision by laying cornerstones and hopefully acting as an early pioneer in promoting a disruptive technology model for the game Industry through: Developing brilliant games leveraging our talents and experience Foster the world’s first high level standards for games Promote a global federated network for game players and authors Empower non-programmer teams with very high level game tools Create metaproduct line technology generating game product lines

3. Mission Our mission is to realize the vision through an overall strategy of fostering cooperation with technology communities which have a history of strong standards development. Link Entertainment and Defence using M&S standards Extend the Web3D Consortiums X3D standard into the game domain Develop the “FederationX Network” as MMOG and P2P infrastructure Create tools for a Collaborative Metaprogramming Framework (CMF) Design Flash and X3D portals which support streamed game content

4. The Challenge

5. Going for Gold Magnetar has identified several potential game projects as proof of concept products which leverage our talents, experience and connections. ExForce - Mega Man title based on very popular Capcom characters A World at War based on a famous WW II strategic board game Game Nebula a global network for abstract board games and puzzles

6. Oblique Assault on NIH Our standards strategy recognizes the formidable barrier that the “Not Invented Here” syndrome presents to such initiatives in the game Industry. Our solution is to maneuver around the problem by aligning proposed game standards with those already adopted by communities such as Modeling and Simulation (M&S) that have no such impediment. Our strategy is to Adopt Extensible 3D (X3D) sponsored by the Web3D consortium Adopt the DOD sponsored High Level Architecture (HLA) for M&S Develop an open architecture for game component developers Participate in the Department of Defense game community

7. Leveling the Playing Field The gap between Independent Game Developers and studios has continued to widen with escalating game budgets and increasing competitive requirements for advanced software. Our strategy is to introduce two ground breaking game portal technologies and high level authoring tools. Promote our Macromedia “Flash Federation” for 2D multiplayer games Launch our companion “Flux Federation” for 3D multiplayer games Create a collaborative real-time authoring system “Forge” for games Seed a COTS (Component off the Shelf) technology for games Foster growth of an open “FederationX Network” for game content
