From UK-Analyst.com;

Kuju saw its shares climb 1p to 19.5p after it said had agreed a new funded development project with Ubisoft Entertainment. Meanwhile, the company also announced alongside Ernst & Young , in its capacity as court-appointed interim receiver of Hip Interactive Inc, that they were working together to find alternative publishing outlets for the arcade zombie title game previously known as 'George A Romero Presents: City of the Dead'. Several interested parties in the game have already noted their interest.

Thread for the more intelligent.

Thank you for the link driver.

Looking more deeply into the recent Electronic Arts contract and Rail Simulator it looks like Kuju have pulled off a very good idea by this new product belonging to them. A lot of people made a lot of money from the original Rail Sim done for Microsoft with add ons and extras for years after the original was released (and the original sold over 1 million copies). Now it looks like Kuju have opened a door for very strong revenue growth with this deal via Fund4Games. They are doing well with good contract news and wireless is rumoured to be having very strong growth which should cause the 2006 forecast to be revised up but now with this deal on the Rail Sim there is ever more reason and need to upgrade them. Extracts from site below;

Abstract:
Kuju have just updated their site with some new information about how Rail Simulator is being funded.

Richard Rogerson at Kuju sent us the following quote:

Before starting on Rail Simulator, Kuju wanted to have two key elements in place first, we wanted a major distribution partner and we have the best in EA. However, we also wanted a degree of involvement and control above that normally achieved in a publisher / developer relationship. The F4G funding has allowed that; Rail Simulator is Kujus simulation. So its down to us and we are striving to meet the communitys expectations! In addition, because the F4G model leaves the ownership with Kuju, we can plan for a long running franchise that (we think) the community will support.

Fund4Games to finance Kuju's Rail Simulator.
Surrey UK, July 22nd, 2005 Fare Deal!

Fund4Games to finance Kujus Rail Simulator*

Kuju Entertainment (AIM:KUJ) today disclosed that the development of their recently announced PC title Rail Simulator* is being created in conjunction with Fund4Games, the videogame industrys leading project finance and management company.
Rail Simulator follows on from Kuju Entertainments previously developed Microsoft Train Simulator, which sold over a million copies worldwide and inspired third-party companies to develop over 40 expansion packs.

Jonathan Newth, Managing Director of Kuju Entertainment commented, Our industry is constantly changing and throwing up new challenges in all areas; in order to remain competitive, publishers and developers have to be open to new ways of doing business. The decision to use 3rd party finance as a part of the production of Rail Simulator allows a structure of IP ownership and commercial interaction with the Rail Simulator community which would be difficult to achieve through more a traditional two party structure. He continued, The publisher model is still very important but its no longer the only option, particularly for titles like Rail Simulator.

Tim Gatland, Chief Executive of Fund4Games added, We believe that the F4G financing model provides major benefits to both developers and publishers, creating a new model for the production and launch of videogames. We are delighted to be working with Kuju & EAP on this exciting project. We recognise Kuju's proven capability in developing train simulation games and we believe that together with EAP they will create a world-class product.

Rail Simulator will offer the opportunity for players to take charge of steam, diesel and electric trains on real routes in the UK and Germany. Challenging and fun gameplay will even enable players to design their own ideal journey routes. Rail Simulator will become the gold standard rail simulation title and will fully support the creation of add-on third party content in a similar fashion to the earlier Microsoft Train Simulator.

Hello Papal I did put this on my watch list when you first flagged it up but thought it a bit risky.
I feel now could well be the time to join you in this.
I don`t suppose there is any news on Universe ?
DB66

DB66 nothing new on UNG at the moment just waiting for results in early Sept, Kuju results should be this week.

Very little risk at KUJ, its been around 16p to 18p throughout the restructuring years and now its just started to move up as the contract news flows and also results are due this month, and should be a return to profits with very positive outlook.

As the rumour is of strong performance from Kuju Wireless, part of Kuju PLC, here is some information on where the wireless side of things is moving.

Mobile games more valuable than porn

And music on the rise too...
By Jo Best
Published: Monday 25 July 2005

The market for mobile content is set to be worth $42.8bn by the end of the decade, with kids' content earning the operators billions more than adults'.
According to analyst house Informa Telecoms and Media, of the $42.8bn which mobile content will bring in, mobile gaming will be worth $11.2bn, with 15 per cent of people downloading and playing a game on their handset by 2010.
The exclusively adult preserves of porn and gambling, however, will generate considerably less.
Adult entertainment will bring in a mere $2.3bn by 2010, the analysts predict. But even this comparatively meagre sum is not guaranteed unless pornographers and mobile operators can negotiate the legislative labyrinth and convince the authorities they can ensure adult content is not accessed by minors.
Gambling will net a comparatively healthy $7.6bn but will also find itself dodging the slings and arrows of the lawmakers if it is to succeed. In addition the gaming industry must make sure it's seen to be adopting the right attitude to preventing gambling addiction.

The message from the interims today to me is come back in 12 months time to see how the next interims look, they should be better.

I would also say the cash position is very tight, so we might see some fund raising by some means soon. I hope its not loan notes (so the directors can get buckets of shares on the cheap with conversion of the loan notes later) ..............
