“We received approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in mid –December to move ahead with the purchase, then proceeded to formally close the purchase,” said Tulumello. “I’ve been saying for months now that I’m both a fan of the game and a strong advocate of the underlying technology. This purchase dramatically increases the value of Tulga Games and send a message of stability and longevity to current and future Horizons customers,” continued Mr. Tulumello..
“We are commencing a five-year strategic planning process, part of which is reviewing other titles and other intellectual properties that do not have a massive multiplayer version. We do this while progressing toward our main goal of increasing the stability of the Horizons: Empire of Istaria customer base and augmenting the content and storyline of the game. We also want to enhance the viability of our current research and development teams. I know that our technology has very unique features, and we encourage others to license it.”, said Mr. Tulumello.
