Sim Ops Studios

Sim Ops Studios, Inc, a spin-off from Carnegie Mellon University, has developed Wild Pockets, a new technology platform, community and marketplace for the next generation of web-based 3D casual games. Wild Pockets is a hosted online 3D game development platform and surrounding marketplace. The core technology is a powerful proprietary web-based 3D game engine that is extremely accessible and user friendly. Wild Pockets brings together a community that spans from professional developers looking to deliver great 3D games via the web to players looking to customize and personalize 3D games and content. This unique combination democratizes the creation of 3D content by giving everyone an entry point into the creation process. Rapid expansion and distribution is furthered by the fact that content is instantly published and can be embedded anywhere online via distribution partners sites, social networks, blogs, and websites. At the core of the development environment is a transaction system that lets developers incorporate micro-transactions into their games, and allows every user to buy, sell and trade game content in and out of the game experience.
