Bloomsix Announces MMO Strategy Game for Java-enabled Phones
Bloomsix has announced the first mobile massive multiplayer online strategy game "Armada: Kingdoms" for Java-enabled phones. Public release is scheduled for Q2 2008.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands, January 30th, 2008 – Bloomsix has announced the first mobile massive multiplayer online strategy game named "Armada: Kingdoms". Most Java-enabled phones will be supported, and public release is scheduled for Q2 2008.

"Armada: Kingdoms" is a mobile massive multiplayer online strategy game, where thousands of players own a town and form kingdoms with other people. The goal of the game is to manage your economy, expand and ultimately attack your opponents. The game is both competitive and cooperative at the same time and has a strong community aspect to it. The game’s persistent world allows players to interact with you while you’re logged out, a distinct difference between classic MMORPGs. "Armada: Kingdoms" is truly 24/7 and its short session game play allows you to take an active part of the game in a non-intrusive way; playing 10 minutes a day is enough to manage your town yet the game offers a deeper experience for more dedicated players.

Bloomsix has been working under the radar on "Armada: Kingdoms" for a year. However, the concept was created in 2001 and several prototypes were created. Internet connectivity, one of the market barriers of multiplayer gaming, has gained momentum thanks to versatile smartphones and economic subscription plans. "After a year of production, Bloomsix is happy to announce Armada: Kingdoms to the public", Joris Verschoor, one of the founders of Bloomsix added, "We're excited to invite the world to play our beta soon".

Formation of new game development studio Bloomsix announced

Amsterdam, the Netherlands, December 29th, 2007 – Joris Verschoor and Bart Verschoor today announced the formation of Bloomsix, a newly founded game division of Insomniq. Based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Bloomsix focuses on leveraging the unique features of handheld, console and pc devices into a compelling user experience.

Bloomsix addresses key market obstacles with its seemingly simple corporate philosophy. Bart Verschoor explained: "Instead of porting existing genres to a platform it does not belong to, we design games that make sense for the specific audience and platform we are developing for. Expect to see games that utilize handhelds to the fullest in ways you may not have deemed possible before".

Following the announcement of Bloomsix, co-founder Joris Verschoor disclosed an unannounced title is slated for public release in Q2 2008. "There’s a growing demand for rich content in the mobile space. Carriers and publishers are realizing the importance of the mobile games market. We aim to achieve hyper growth in the number of users and plan to retain customers by building strong, unique IP and breakthrough game designs", Joris Verschoor added.
