A group of Filipino game developers is all set to Dallas on Oct 6 -9, 2009 to join the said event. They are the brains behind the widely-popular Actionjetz.com - a virtual world for children as it enables kids to collect not only physical die cast collectibles such as the F-16 and F-14 fighter jets, but to play with their jets online. The ActionJetz carries a suggested retail of $4.99 through leading toy retailers and specialty outlets around the world.
The site www.actionjetz.com encompasses a vast virtual world and features numerous mini games, each themed to kids’ aircraft toys. It offers the young gamers the ability to move around the virtual world, chat and play with other pilots, take quizzes, and earn points as they fly missions and complete tasks. To enhance creativity and independence in children, Actionjetz allows users to customize their hangar and ready room, the place where pilots relax before they fly missions.
Family-Safe Features
The creators have developed the virtual world and gaming engines over the past two years and have focused heavily on online safety. This was achieved by creating powerful filters to monitor chat but most importantly bringing parents into the online experience with the unique parental control panel.
This feature enables parents to associate their account with that of their children, to set levels of game play, enable or disable site features, monitor chat activity, game play activity and keep an eye on the well being of their children.
Online selling of Diecast Airplane Toys
The ActionJetz product line will ultimately feature over 60 different aircraft and the diecast airplane toys will be available through leading retailers.
Tardio is not stopping with ActionJetz. The studio has recently entered into a joint venture with Tree-House Kids, a leading toy line sold through WalMart and Bass Pro Shops throughout the United States. Tardio’s team of Filipino game developers are set to develop a virtual world for Tree House’s line of merchandise.
Filipino Talent Goes Global
Tardio said that, “It is fantastic that the talent and skills of the Filipino designers are finding an international stage – a proof that Filipino IT professionals are truly globally competitive. Who knows this could be the start of something big.”
Watch out for the flight of the Actionjetz team to the Fall Toy Preview 2009
