"One of the most exciting new features in Jade Empire is the ability for players to master more than 30 martial arts, weapons, and magic fighting styles," said Greg Zeschuk, Joint Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BioWare Corp. "CodeBaby's technology provides us with the sophisticated, web-based 3D platform we need to properly showcase the Jade Empire characters and their distinctive martial arts techniques," said Ray Muzyka, Joint CEO of BioWare Corp.

BioWare is a leading video game developer whose past successes include the award winning Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Jade Empire will be published by Microsoft and the action-RPG is generating significant anticipation within BioWare's dedicated user community. The 1.8+ million strong members of the BioWare Community will be invited to visit the Jade Empire website http://www.jade-empire.com to experience the CodeBaby demo.

"We're pleased that BioWare has chosen CodeBaby technology as the preferred platform to debut Jade Empire," said Shaheel Hooda, CEO of CodeBaby. "The BioWare deployment is unique in the way they're using CodeBaby to demonstrate their Jade Empire characters and game play, and generate excitement in the new game."

Hooda added, "CodeBaby's technology is very versatile, and CodeBaby interactive virtual agents can operate effectively across a wide variety of applications including entertainment, eGovernment, banking, and online retailing to name a few. CodeBaby virtual agents can be used to increase online sales transaction closure rates, provide automated tech support and reduce call center costs, offer assistance in filling out complicated online forms, and help to deliver effective online training."
