    Activision Signs Multi-Year Agreement with Legendary Game Designer Peter Molyneux

    Activision Signs Multi-Year Agreement with Legendary Game Designer Peter Molyneux Santa Monica, CA - March 4, 2003 - Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that the company has signed an agreement with legendary U.K.- based game designer Peter Molyneux. Under the terms of the agreement, the company has secured the exclusive worldwide rights to Molyneux's new project tentatively titled The Movies for the PC and all video game console platforms. The agreement also grants Activision the option to publish sequels and add-on products to the title. The Movies currently is being developed by Molyneux's Lionhead Studios, whose last title, Black and White, sold almost 2 million units worldwide. Black and White topped PC sell-through charts around the globe and was a #1 best-selling game in the United Kingdom and Germany. Slated for release in 2004, The Movies gives gamers the opportunity to run their own Hollywood movie studio from the silent days of the 1920s, through the advent of new technologies into the present and beyond. The game puts players in charge of a Hollywood dream factory where they decide which movies to make and the stars to make them. The player selects the scripts, directors, sets and movie stars before shooting the action and watching their finished movie on opening night. Players can manage the money, egos, tears & tantrums on their way to living the Hollywood dream. "Peter is undoubtedly one of the most talented video game designers in the world, and Lionhead is one of the very few development studios with the knowledge and resources to develop a game that will allow players to fulfill the fantasy of building a movie empire," states Larry Goldberg, executive vice president of Activision Worldwide Studios.

Ling All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT e foundational immunology concepts of lymphocyte development are important for beginning science students to comprehend. Video games oer the potential for a novel approach to teaching this complex subject matter by more eectively engaging students in this material. However, currently available educational video games intended to teach immunology have distinct limitations such as a lack of explicit demonstrations of the stages of lymphocyte development and clonal selection. is project identies the content focus and gameplay mechanics of currently available immunology video games. Using this as a basis, a novel approach for developing an immunology video game was outlined with the primary goal of improving integration of educational content. A proof of concept was developed for the B lymphocyte development portion of the game content and a partial prototype was developed in Unity 5 3D. e important contribution of this thesis was the development of a new approach to designing a more eective educational video game specically for immunology. Outcomes of this research will serve to inform future biomedical communicators on how to develop content for active learning games in immunology and provide a guide for designing full length educational video games featuring novel gameplay mechanics such as those identied through this project.
