ParaWorld is Given Six Months for Balancing

Sunflowers is set to release the game in August

Sunflowers, leading producer of computer games and specialist in the strategy genre, today announced the new release date for the eagerly expected real-time strategy title ParaWorld: end of August of 2006. The period until the release date will be devoted exclusively to quality assurance processes, like gameplay balancing and an intensive, large-scale multiplayer test. The title, developed by the Berlin game studio SEK, will be released for PC only. During the entire development phase of the project, the inherent demands regarding the highest possible gaming quality were ensured by ongoing QA processes. Sunflowers and the studio employ 30 staff members for this task alone. Each point of criticism was analyzed and discussed, and the outcome was directly implemented in the game.

Adi Boiko, Sunflowers President, explains the decision: "For any real-time strategy title, perfect balancing is of utmost importance. We want to provide the consumer with a unique gaming experience which will satisfy game pros as well as delighting occasional gamers due to the highest possible level of user friendliness and easy access."

In order to provide ParaWorld fans with the optimum gaming experience, Sunflowers will use the remaining time until the release date to perform one of the largest-scale multiplayer tests ever conducted in Germany. The resulting feedback will be directly integrated into the QA phase.

Even before its release, ParaWorld is considered one of the most significant forth-coming real-time strategy games. The product transports the player into a parallel world dominated by dinosaurs and three mighty tribes. Side by side seven controllable heroes, the player explores 15 equally atmospheric and dangerous prehistoric scenarios, each consisting of five climatic zones. In the gripping single-player mode as well as the extensive multiplayer mode, ParaWorld impresses with dramatic real-time strategy action. With ParaWorld, Sunflowers contributes significantly to the further development of this popular genre. ParaWorld will be released exclusively for the PC towards the end of August 2006.
