ParaEngine Tech Studio

About us

ParaEngine Tech Studio (P.E.) focuses on the research and development of a distributed computer game engine called ParaEngine. Based on our proprietary game engine technologies, we are building various applications ourselves and we are also working with licensed clients who use ParaEngine in their own projects. We believe that game technology is the driving force to a new 3D Internet or web 3D. We would like you to join us or cooperate with us to build innovative games or other 3D applications. See our product page.

Products

• Kids Movie Creator (see www.paratoon.com): An entertainment software for young children aged 7 to 12. Children can use their imagination to create interactive three-dimensional virtual worlds. They can control every detail of their worlds, from sky to the sea and everything in between. They can then add a story line and give life to their virtual characters.  
• ParaToon Online (coming in April 2008):  ParaToon Online is an earth-scale content-creation web 3D community designed for children and everyone. In ParaToon online, each user has its own avatar, virtual land, and can build up their dream world easily. In ParaToon worlds, people can play and communicate with each other and show off their ideas and creations. All world editing and movie making experiences of previous ParaToon products will be brought to the Internet.
