LeoNovus announces Game City™

Full support for Multi-Player Online, Flash/HTML5 Casual, Cloud gaming and Native version Games

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2012 /CNW/ - LeoNovus Inc. ("LeoNovus" or the "Company") (TSXV: LTV), a leading Internet developer with its high performance browser-based Internet software platform today announced its Game City program. This program includes a Game icon and a game launcher on its LTV graphical user interface that allows the user to create a favorites list and access games in a single click whether they are stored locally, through the browser, on Facebook or in the cloud.

LeoNovus is committed to supporting high quality game play leveraging its proprietary acceleration technologies to deliver full screen/full frame rate 1080p interactive game play to the largest screen in the house, the TV. This includes full support for Flash / HTML5 and discrete graphics processors. In addition, LeoNovus can support its game partners through its WISE Network™ with complete analytical data and the ability to offer subscriptions, Freemium and micro-transactions business model options. Freemium models allow the user to choose whether or not he/she purchases certain additional features within a game. As there are no initial costs involved, a larger number of players can be attracted to the game through this model. It is estimated that virtual goods worth USD 6 billion will be sold in 2013(1).

Online gaming has potentially been the single biggest change in the industry for decades. Rich interaction with other players across the world has given gaming a whole new dimension. Social games go a step further by allowing 'friends' to play with each other. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, video games will be the second-fastest growing market in the entire media sector, trailing only Internet Advertising. Worldwide online gaming market revenue is forecast to reach USD 13.7 billion in 2013 growing at a CAGR of 10.6%.

"LeoNovus offers greater opportunities for game developers to bring their products to market," said Randel Riess, CEO of Prairie Games. Prairie Games is the developer of Minions of Mirth™ a top cult hit indie MMORPG (massively multi-player online role playing game). "We are delighted to see platforms where we can offer our products that support quality and interactive game play online."

LeoNovus is committed to developing high quality personalized next generation products to deliver all the video, all the web, all the games, at any time in a very personalized consumer friendly way. The LeoNovus approach to Internet TV seeks to introduce a unique profitability component that has been missing from current attempts to expand the Web onto the TV: an integrated content management system that will deliver carefully targeted ads, marketing campaigns, services and applications that are linked to individual viewer preferences and interests.
