Distribution of our products by leading children's software distributors gives our titles the broadest possible exposure, another key component of our success.
Creating innovative products is not all fun and games. Our software titles are the result of a complex and creative technological process. Much like the process that traditional film studios use to create a feature film, our products are developed utilizing a studio approach. From its inception as a concept, the project is refined through story lines, character development, screen designs, story boards, and dialog scripts. Each title is designed and developed completely in house utilizing a collaborative international team of experts in programming, graphics and animation, sound, and post-production. In-house development allows the company to maintain complete control over the quality and content of its products.
