Tales of a vegetable matter

So, what do Madame Bovary, Rocky, The Mikado and King David's encounter with the Philistine Goliath in First Samuel have in common?

They are all suitable subject matter for the next game we are going to release, Game Wave VeggieTales.

If you aren’t familiar with VeggieTales, which means you are also not familiar with having kids, they were first introduced in 1993 becoming the first ever completely computer generated “cartoon” series ever made.

Since then, and 50-million copies later, VeggieTales has grown into a Saturday morning staple and a major family favorite especially appreciated by kids of wee variety.

It’s a perfect pairing for us, as our current suite of games has a decidedly older slant to it. We've been working on this for a while, trying to find the perfect licensing partner to address that hole in our library. Who knew kids could be so tough! And the moral VeggieTales stories are a perfect fit for our family first, last and always philosophy.

However, perhaps the biggest bonus is how hilarious it is seeing all of our guys up to their ears in Bob the Tomato and Archibald Asparagus animations. It’s hard not to giggle during the sometimes heated meetings discussing staying "true" to the character of Larry the Cucumber.

But that’s the nature of the gaming business. We’re taking play very seriously around here, especially since the folks who are going to be playing the thing will be our own kids.

We’re thrilled with this partnership with VeggieTales, and I hope you are as well.

More details to come of course but for now you'll have to make due with the official Press Release.
