Extended Demo

Based on customers’ feedback, we’ve upgraded our free demo (v1.05). The new demo enables 8 actions (or 8 turns) which we believe will give a better chance to get engaged in the experience and explore its multiple layers. As in the older version, we included the in-game tutorial, and the option to try out both perspectives.

And on another note- a TV crew from AlJazeera visited Pittsburgh yesterday to cover PeaceMaker. They interviewed us in our offices and then met with our content advisor, Dr. Laurie Eisenberg, and a group of Americans, Israelis and Arabs who played the game. This is very positive – we had been mentioned many times in Jewish and Israeli media and we see this as a real opportunity to reach out to the Arab audience. The story will air soon, so more to come.
