Hudson Entertainment (the North American branch of Hudson) has chosen to license Javaground's latest version of the Xpress Suite. Hudson Entertainment will utilize the suite of tools to improve their J2me porting.
Hudson Soft itself has been using the Xpress Suite for porting since 2007.
"Since 2007, Hudson has used the Xpress Suite from Javaground for the development and porting of our game applications. Bomberman Land and Military Madness 2 were also developed on Xpress, and the game quality has dramatically improved compared to previous versions. A high level of porting is needed for a single game title to support close to 200 terminals. For this to happen, a system is required that all programs can easily understand. In this regard, we feel the Xpress Suite is an exceptional tool," said Yoko Tsumagari, Vice-President of Mobile Games at Hudson Entertainment, Inc.
"Having a customer like Hudson, one of the most established game companies, is a great testament of the efficiencies brought about by our Xpress Suite in the development of games," said Alex Kral, CEO and co-founder of Javaground.
