Infinite Scuba Selected as a Finalist in Game Connection America’s Prestigious Selected Projects 2014

 

Infinite Scuba®, the first video game to offer a realistic scuba diving experience, is nominated in the “Social, Casual & Online” Category 
 

Redmond, WA (February 28, 2014) - Cascade Game Foundry (CGF™) is proud to announce that Infinite Scuba is a finalist in the prestigious Game Connection America Selected Projects 2014 competition in the “Social, Casual & Online” category.  Winners will be announced March 17th during the Game Connection’s Selected Projects Award Ceremony at the Sir Frances Drake Hotel in San Francisco.

There are a total of 15 nominated projects for the 2014 awards from fierce competition that included over 200 submitted projects. Nominees will present their projects to all publishers, distributors and buyers at the Game Connection America show.  A jury comprised of leading publishers will select a winning project in each of three categories along with an “Overall Best Project” winner, with selection criteria based on presentation quality, project innovation and market potential.

Infinite Scuba gives players ages 8 and up the thrills, mysteries and beauty of the Earth's oceans. Players do what real divers do - explore dive sites, identify wildlife, take photos, and find artifacts - while learning about history and dive science.

“We are honored to be nominated in this esteemed competition,” says Kathie Flood, Managing Director and co-founder of Cascade Game Foundry. “Scuba diving is a meditative, Zen-like experience, so Infinite Scuba is an unconventional video game. We are delighted to show everyone at Game Connection how it enables players to experience the quiet beauty of exploring the ocean from home.” Adds Flood, "This game is Indiana-Jones-meets-Jacques Cousteau: wildly fun, mysterious, and enlightening."

Cascade Game Foundry works closely with Dr. Sylvia Earle (National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence & Time Magazine Hero for the Planet) and Mission Blue, Dr. Earle’s ocean advocacy organization, to ensure that the game is environmentally respectful and helps to raise awareness of the importance of ocean health.

To further provide an authentic diving experience, CGF partners with PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and more than 20 manufacturers to recreate their brands and equipment in the game. Brands include SCUBAPRO®, Body Glove, BARE, Oceanic, Cressi, SeaLife, Underwater Kinetics, Henderson, SUBGEAR®, and XS Scuba.

A demo version of Infinite Scuba is part of the Sea Monsters Revealed: Aquatic Bodies exhibit, currently showing at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. Sea Monsters was created by BASE Entertainment, the creators of the well-known Bodies exhibit.

Game Connection America 2014 takes place from March 17-19 at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco. The Selected Projects conference will take place on March 17th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
