Portalarium announced that it has partnered up with Zynga to distribute Ultimate Collector on Facebook and Zynga’s network. Available now on Facebook in Limited Beta, is Portalarium’s first original social network game and is developed under the guidance of famed designer Richard Garriott.
“We couldn’t be more pleased to be rolling out Ultimate Collector on Zynga.com,” said Portalarium CEO, Fred Schmidt. “With its millions of players worldwide, Zynga provides the best vehicle for us to put our game in front of the biggest audience. Plus, Zynga understands social gaming better than anyone else in the world.”
“Ultimate Collector is really three games in one,” says Garriott, Portalarium’s co-founder and creative director. “It’s a collecting game where players go on a major hunt for collectibles ranging from toys, gadgets, historical weapons, novelties and famous art and display those collections in their homes. It’s a shopping game where players can visit shops and stores in our game, some of them from national retailers, to purchase items and add to their collections. And it’s a world building game that allows players to outfit a home, show off their collections to their friends, sell virtual items to other collectors and make in-game money to upgrade their house and grow it even larger.”
