to press release index CUHK launches ¡§Curvair¡¨, a Game Development System,
According to the statistics from www.china.org.cn, China's Internet game market has grown from 0.30 million RMB in 2000 to 5.54 billion RMB in 2005, and expected to reach 8.34 billion RMB in 2006. Those who intend to compete in the Chinese game market may have to focus on the development of original content that are related to the Chinese culture. Curvair simplifies the development of Chinese-style games and can be easily incorporated into other existing game development platforms. The project has received funding support from China Game Publishers¡¦ Association (Hong Kong), Gameone Online Entertainment Group Limited, and the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF). The Hong Kong Productivity Council and Digital Entertainment Industry Support Centre (ISC) also participate to promote Curvair to the local industry. Amongst other activities such as seminars and workshops, a 3D characters design competition is under planning in which participants will be able to obtain first-hand experiences in using Curvair.
