GameFREQ Comic Book Creator Launched by Planetwide Games at E3
Self-publishing software allows players to create customized comic books of actual "RYL: Path of the Emperor" gameplay.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) May 18, 2005 -- Planetwide Games (http://www.ryl.net) announced today that it has launched
GameFREQ Comic Book Creator, a patent pending self-publishing software product
that allows video game players to create customized Comic Books of their actual
Gameplay, according to Planetwide Games President, Kevin Donovan. GameFREQ Comic
Book Creator will be made available to the video games industry for other video
game titles.
"'RYL' players can create a professional-looking,
high-quality comic book to immortalize an important battle scene or dramatic
encounter within the game," notes Donovan. "The Comic Book Creator product lets
gamers add in text bubbles to bring conversation to the encounter, as well as
classic comic book features, like spiky graphics that indicate a hit. It's a
very personal remembrance of time spent online that you can have sent to your
local Kinko's for professional printing and then share with friends in the
offline world."
"RYL: Path of the Emperor" is the first MMORPG to offer
a $1,000,000 Grand Prize to the winner of a Player vs. Player Skill-Based
Tournament. The "RYL" qualifying tournament will start July 1, 2005 and will end
April 30, 2006, culminating in a "RYL: Path of the Emperor" Final Tournament
event to be broadcast live and to take place in conjunction with the E3 Video
Game Expo in May 2006. Interested players can view more details about the
tournament rules and regulations at http://www.RYL.net
