Lolapps Acquires Fliso Engine From Sean Cooper Games

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Lolapps, a top five social games company, today announced that it has acquired the Fliso Engine from Sean Cooper Games. Created by game developer Sean Cooper, Fliso is the industry-acknowledged highest performance engine for running isometric Flash games. Following today's acquisition, the engine will now be branded as the Lolapps Fliso Engine.

Developed over a span of several years of dedicated development by a team with industry experience dating back to the early 1990s, the Lolapps Fliso Engine uses classic game programming techniques from the early days of PC gaming to enable Flash to display far more characters and animations on-screen than any other alternative. This isometric environment reduces the amount of time and money needed for developing games while allowing lower-end systems to run Flash games at high frame rates. The engine enables Lolapps' hit game Ravenwood Fair to achieve a graphics standard significantly beyond its nearest competitors and is currently being licensed by four out of the top five social game developers.

"The team at Sean Cooper Games is well-known for its thought leadership in Flash engine performance and its creativity in developing highly-regarded Flash games such as Boxhead and the Shadez series," said Arjun Sethi, CEO of Lolapps. "We're excited to incorporate the Lolapps Fliso Engine into future Lolapps titles and third-party titles by developers looking to get the most out of the Flash platform. This acquisition continues Lolapps' focus on bringing the highest levels of quality possible to social games."

Sean Cooper Games' founder Sean Cooper will assume the role of Chief Flash Architect and will report directly to Sethi. "I'm excited to be joining Lolapps where I believe the technology I've developed can be leveraged to bring the highest level of creativity to life," said Cooper. "The strength of the team chemistry between the art and technology teams at Lolapps will continue to give them a massive advantage in creating the most immersive game worlds."

Sean Cooper's background includes leading, designing and programming hit titles totaling over twenty million copies sold and spanning highly-regarded companies including Electronic Arts and Bullfrog Productions. In 2005, Sean decided to turn his attention to the online casual games market. Feeling that technology was suffering under Flash, he created the Lolapps Fliso Engine to enable the creation of games that are both higher quality and easier to develop.
