Interactive entertainment and information provider IDG Entertainment (IDGE) today announced the debut of Creating Kaos, an original reality-based video series that follows a new game development studio as it sets out to make the world’s greatest massively multiplayer online game (MMOG). The first episode went live today on www.games.net.
Headed by CEO Damon Grow, San Francisco-based Shattered Reality Interactive Inc. is a 40-person, all-volunteer game development company that is out to provide some tough competition for Blizzard Ent.’s wildly successful MMOG, World of Warcraft.
“There’s a one in one million chance you can beat World of Warcraft. And if you’ve never designed a game before, no chance,” says legendary Quake and Doom designer John Romero, who serves as on-camera commentator for Creating Kaos.
“There’s humor, real drama and some amount of insanity,” adds Wendy Chan, series director and video producer for IDG Ent. “But throughout it all, you can’t help being touched by Damon’s commitment and unwavering optimism.”
Creating Kaos is part of IDGE’s slate of original video productions specifically developed for gaming enthusiasts. Other offerings include the pop-up video-style game trivia series Attack of the Factoids, the short video series Hi-5s, and Behind the Screens, a documentary-style look at what goes on behind the scenes of the most popular video games.
A new 3-5 minute episode of Creating Chaos will be posted on Games.Net every Friday. A total of 5 episodes have been filmed and another 15 are in production. In addition to producing video content, IDGE maintains a portfolio of gaming magazines including GamePro magazine, Star Wars Insider magazine, Code Vault magazine, and the IDG Entertainment Industry White Paper. The company’s online network includes the web sites GamePro.com, GamerHelp.com, GameDownloads.com, BlogFaction.com, StarWars.com, Modojo.com, Savvy.com, WGWorld.com and MegaGames.com.
