Red Knight creating virtual world for kidsDallas Business Journal - Stephen C. Webster, Phoenix Bizjournals
A video games developer has struck out on an unusual, first-of-its-kind project: creating an online learning virtual world geared exclusively to children. Red Knight Learning Systems of Richardson has been selected as a creative partner by London-based Ludorum, which is developing a new children's character called "Chugginton" best described as a new Thomas the Tank Engine that will be used for multifaceted children's entertainment including toys and games. Red Knight is creating virtual world prototypes, original artwork and online learning-based games for the Chugginton's debut in the interactive arena. Known as a massively multiplayer online game, or MMO, the game would allow thousands to be online playing Chugginton at the same time.
