TechCrunch | Paradise Paintball Finalist at China Social Game Summit

Cmune’s Paradise Paintball social shooter game was among the 6 finalists of the China Social Game Summit in Beijing.

TechCrunch wrote a nice report on the event.

“One of my personal favorite social games out there, Paradise Paintball is labeled as an MMOFPS (massively multiplayer online first person shooter), which can be played over different platforms. A Paradise Paintball player on MySpace, for example, can battle it out and chat with another player who’s using the game on Facebook, on the game’s main portal or through a widget.

Maker Cmune says their aim is to “fill the gap between MMOs and social games”, adding they created the world’s first “3D social shooter”. Paradise Paintball is based on a freemium business model. The game is monetized through sales of virtual goods, for example better weapons or more effective ammo. It has passed the 200,000 active user mark (for the social network versions) just yesterday.”
