(PRWEB) May 24, 2005 -- Last Day of Work Launches Village Sim Game for Palm
Powered Devices at PalmSource Mobile Summit & DevCon 2005
SAN JOSE,
Calif., PalmSource Mobile Summit & DevCon, May 24, 2005 Last Day of Work, a
top producer of real-time games and simulations for mobile devices, today
announced Village Sim, a real-time simulator game, for Palm Powered™ mobile
devices and smartphones. Village Sim continues LDW’s long tradition of
life-simulators and true real-time games that keep on playing even if the device
is turned off.
Village Sim allows a player to care for and nurture a
displaced tribe of people by teaching them the basics of survival. Players will
test their ability to help a small village live and prosper as they monitor the
needs of the villagers throughout the day. Do the villagers need food, housing,
or technology to help ward off disease? As the villagers become curious about
the mysteries of their tropical home, the player helps them explore and restore
their island oasis by guiding their day-to-day lives. However, if a player turns
off their device, or sets it aside for too long, sickness and death can sweep
through the village. Only by setting this real-time game to pause can the player
truly make time stand still.
“Taking advantage of the superior graphics
and multimedia capabilities of Palm OS, Village Sim brings an innovative and
highly interactive gaming experience to users of Palm Powered devices and
smartphones,” said Larry Berkin, director of developer marketing, PalmSource.
“Last Day of Work’s Village Sim creates an entertaining and addictive
environment for the user through life simulation and true real-time game
play.”
The real-time feature of Village Sim is unique among games for
mobile devices, unlike other games for mobile devices and smartphones where the
action stops or pauses when powered off.
"We are very excited to launch
Village Sim on Palm OS. We hope to please our existing fans with another complex
life simulation game, while exploring some new game ideas outside our
traditional breeding sims like Fish Tycoon and Plant Tycoon," said Arthur
Humphrey, Last Day of Work chief executive.
Village Sim is available at
www.LDW.com for
$19.95. A free 30-day trial version is also available for download. Printable
