New Fantasy Online Golf Game to Tee off at Singapore's First Virtual Golf Meet
Company: AsiaSoft Online
Date: 31 May 2006
SINGAPORE - May 27, 2006 – Tee off from reality to fantasy. AsiaSoft Online, Singapore's leading online game service provider, announces the launch of Pangya (www.PangyaSEA.com), the first golf-simulation casual massively multiplayer online game (MMOPG). In conjunction with the launch, up to 200 beta players have come together to pit their skills in the first virtual golf meet at the new PCBunk, The Atrium@Orchard. The meet aims to create interactivity among these invited beta players who will walk away with limited-edition Pangya plushies and unreleased virtual in-game items such as avatars, caddies and golf equipment.
Pangya, a free-to-play online game, cleverly combines fantasy with realistic simulation to create a unique virtual golfing experience. Set in a fantasy realm of anime characters and lush 3D scenery, Pangya is a bright, green game with high-quality visuals and intuitive interface. Pangya is an excellent alternative playing ground off the course for golfers, a great chance to learn about the game of golf in a fun way for non-golfers and a great way to spend time together for families. Like the actual game of golf, Pangya also offers a great social environment where gamers can have fun chatting online and exchanging tips with each other during the game.
Life-like avatars with customizable features and virtual caddies each with their own distinctive personalities add a human touch to the game. Players earn Pang, the in-game currency, in exchange for items and upgrades for their avatars. Up to 30 players can compete with each other through different game modes where amateurs can practice their swing or compete with advanced players in tournaments.
"Pangya is another proud presentation by AsiaSoft Online to gamers in Singapore and Malaysia. Based on our understanding of the latest gaming trends, Pangya has all the essential elements to be a truly engaging, highly rewarding game for PMEBs (Professionals Managers Executives and Businessmen), golfers and families," said Mr. Addison Kang, CEO of AsiaSoft Online Pte Ltd. "With over 10 million worldwide players and established as one of the top three games in Thailand, we are confident that Pangya will take the local markets by storm and work its way up to become one of the top games in the local gaming charts."
"Pangya was designed with the casual online gamer in mind. Combining beautiful golf courses, cute characters, fun elements like adorable caddies and close-to-life gameplay, it captivates the gamer at the point they enter the game. Easy to learn but difficult to master, Pangya challenges players and then gives them a great sense of rewards through Pang points, promotions to next levels and advanced equipment," commented Mr. Yoon Hong Jun, developer of Pangya, Ntreev Soft Co., Ltd.
Mr. Ji Soo Chung, Product Manager of HanbitSoft Inc added, "Many companies approached us in the past, but it wasn't until we met with AsiaSoft Online that we felt we'd found the perfect partner. They clearly share our high standards for gaming development, and because they understand the vision that we've always strived for with Pangya, we feel there isn't a better organisation out there for introducing Pangya to Singapore."
NtreevSoft Co. Ltd is the developer of Pangya and Hanbitsoft Inc. commissions AsiaSoft Online to distribute the game in Singapore. Pangya follows hot on the heels of AsiaSoft’s hugely successful MapleStory and GunBound, and is expected to emulate the success of its predecessors in the local market. MapleStory achieved over 50 million players in total, after being released in 2002.
