Digital Service Combines Roleplaying and Next-Generation Social Networks, Begins Open Beta
Mob United Media has completed the first stage of content creation and development for Inter-Canel’s Venice Chronicles: the first application to integrate roleplaying and social networking.
Our story is set in a continuous Masquerade, incorporating inspiration from the classic La Serenissima period, when Venice was the de facto center of an empire. You portray members of one of the city’s seven ruling families, competing for power and influence over the night. And behind the masks and plots, the mysterious force of Fortuna gives rise to strange events and unnatural abilities.
Interact with story content on many levels. Live entertainers – professional actors – portray major characters. Users can delve deep into the story by interacting with them, even earning Venetian Credits (the Venice Chronicles currency) when they successfully uncover clues and add their own stories to the ongoing narrative. Videos, images and hidden web pages all reveal Venice’s secrets. Plot with other nobles or investigate the clues and fragments provided.
The Venice Chronicles contains all the features of a fully integrated social networking application, including blogs, image hosting, webcams, conferencing, chat features, friend listing tools, VOIP and advanced functions like cross-platform SMS and true telephony. All of it is bound into a converged, user friendly interface. Use the service to explore the story, use it as straightforward social network, or do something in-between. The Venice Chronicles supports users doing what they want to do – not what a GM or administrator thinks they should do.
The Venice Chronicles begins with an open Beta. Grow with us as we unlock the potential of the service. Register your own account or try one of three sample profiles at: http://www.venicechronicles.com .
