NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ, January 15, 2013 (Press-News.org) These days, technology moves at modern speed, especially on mobile platforms. But for recently launched SWDTech Games, every new video game is old again. That is, retro-style Role-Playing Games (RPGs) are cool, and they're not just for hardcore gamers. SWDTech intends to mesmerize those casual gamers virtually attached to their iPhone, iPad, or Android devices.
Kunal Majmudar (Co-Owner and Audio Lead/Marketing Manager) and Len Stuart (Co-Owner and Creative Director) started SWDTech Games because, well, they love to play. They also see a business opportunity for RPGs that emphasize storytelling and atmosphere without shying away from more mature content. And no one writes the stories like Jennifer Moore Keating, Lead Writer. According to Mr. Majmudar, "We also seek to create a smartphone RPG with intuitive controls - something that, unfortunately, we don't see very often in mobile role-playing games."
What truly distinguishes SWDTech is the lineup of retro-style games they plan to release, which will hook both old-school and casual players. Hardcore gamers will revel in the nostalgia of playing new RPGs that remind them of classics from their more youthful days. "The updated pace, gameplay, controls, and user interface of SWDTech's revamped RPG library will also earn casual gamer love, or at least a whole lot of like," claims Mr. Stuart.
The company's initial gaming title, Pixel Noir, is a retro, 16-bit era RPG with a strong emphasis on story, and a gritty feel that suggests classic film noir. Old-school gamers who played Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, or Final Fantasy in a decrepit family basement (or cramped teenage bedroom) will find Pixel Noir an immersive, satisfying experience. SWDTech will release this game initially for iOS and Android devices, but will later release it for consoles and PCs/Macs. Another RPG currently under development is a "super-secret" project with the working title 'PlayerOne'.
SWDTech Games is a boutique indie game developer gleefully crafting code, pixels, audio, and dialogue in the New York tri-state area. Reinventing retro Role-Playing Games (RPGs) and developing related apps are what the SWDTech team does best. The company was founded in 2012 with a focus on compelling storytelling and atmosphere, simplified controls/user interface architecture, and retro-style graphics. Targeted playing platforms include the latest generation of mobile devices as well as "old-school" consoles and PC/Mac technology. Kunal Majmudar and Len Stuart can be reached by email at pr@swdtechgames.com. Feel free to play around with the company's developer blog via www.swdtechgames.com.

Scientists reassemble the backbone of life with a particle accelerator
2013-01-14
This press release is available in French and German.
Jointly issued with STFC and the Royal Veterinary College London.
Scientists have been able to reconstruct, for the first time, the intricate three-dimensional structure of the backbone of early tetrapods, the earliest four-legged animals. High-energy X-rays and a new data extraction protocol allowed the researchers to reconstruct the backbones of the 360 million year old fossils in exceptional detail and shed new light on how the first vertebrates moved from water onto land. The results are published 13 January ...
Credit card debt: Younger people borrow more heavily and repay more slowly
2013-01-14
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Younger Americans not only take on relatively more credit card debt than their elders, but they are also paying it off at a slower rate, according to a first-of-its-kind study.
The findings suggest that younger generations may continue to add credit card debt into their 70s, and die still owing money on their cards.
"If what we found continues to hold true, we may have more elderly people with substantial financial problems in the future," said Lucia Dunn, co-author of the study and professor of economics at Ohio State University.
"Our projections ...
Ultrasonic testing with Doppler imaging can rule out blood clots in pregnant women
2013-01-14
The use of serial compression ultrasonographic testing together with Doppler imaging appears to be a reliable method of ruling out blood clots in the legs of pregnant women, according to a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). Physicians can likely safely withhold anticoagulation therapy based on the results.
This technique, recommended in women who are not pregnant to determine if there is deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs, is also used in pregnant women but its safety has not been validated in this cohort. Anticoagulation drugs are used ...
