Minister Kubla of the Economy, SME's and Research of the Walloon Region of Belgium has awarded to Elsewhere Entertainment a free-interest loan of EUR 1.6 Mio to finance the company's research and development efforts over the next 2 years. This will allow the company to further develop and considerably enhance its video game production platform (called NeoReality) and to finance the development of a new game prototype. Elsewhere's NeoReality technology is used in the production of our games intended to be played on the PC and current generation of video game consoles (PlayStation2, Xbox, Gamecube). The aid from the Walloon Region will allow us to add to our team, in the coming months, at least 10 new employees (R&D engineers, artists,...). They will work on the development of several innovative, proprietary and reusable pieces of software : real-time 3D graphic rendering, physics simulation engine, artificial intelligence systems, advanced animation tools, game-specific scripting language,... This will give us the critical mass in terms of team size and financial muscle to successfully compete against the other industry players in France, UK, Germany, and the rest of Europe.
