Battery Jam was created at the Savannah college of Art and Design by a team of four core people, along with help from animators, sound designers and musicians. We wanted to, above all, make a game that made a great first impression and had people smiling, and so far it seems like we’ve succeeded. People that play Battery Jam generally end up wanting to continue playing, and watching strangers compete and laugh has been an amazing pay off. Battery jam is still in development, and has much more content on the way!

Concept
Ultimum is an upcoming, unique gaming experience from Paradigm Publishing. Ultimum combines the gameplay of a tabletop RPG, with a larger meta-game connected online for persistent play. This online environment will allow players to join in and play in larger world servers, uploading their progress at the table, creating the story of Ultimum. Players will also be able to host their own world servers and invite other players and groups to join them in building their own worlds.
Imagine receiving an expansion hard cover game book written specifically for your version of Ultimum!
Story
Ultimum is a story of Earth and its children. Throughout Earth’s long history, events have taken place to shape it and its various species into hardy protectors and explorers. The tectonic plates have shifted and moved by unnatural and alien means. New and deadly life both terrestrial and alien have grown, mixed and proliferated. New intelligent species have evolved, naturally and unnaturally, and now vie for control of new territories, marked by new boundaries, in unexplored lands.
Humanity has recently returned to mother Earth and they seek answers to questions. What happened to the Earth while they were gone? Who caused this great change to the face of the Earth? Where did these new sentient species come from? Will they be able to live peacefully with these new races or will they have to fight to survive in a place they once called home?
Ultimum introduces several new features not included in role playing games before, as well as a host of tried and true methods to keep the game fun and exciting for all players. Some new features include…
