San Francisco, CA --- January 2, 2013 --- Wise Old Duck Games today announced that it has launched a crowd-funding campaign on indiegogo for it's first transmedia game, Lost Spells: The Tower of Alba. Lost Spells is a brain teasing word game, set in a misty and mystic Celtic World - where things are not always as they seem. You journey into the woods with our heroes Bec and Neit - and help them find their way back in an adventure that is filled with mystery, magic and revelations. The campaign can be found online at: http://www.indiegogo.com/lost-spells

Lost Spells: The Tower of Alba is a first installment in what the Wise Old Duck team hopes will be a transmedia franchise. œTransmedia involves the technique of telling a story or story experience across multiple platforms and formats and involves creating content that engages audiences in a unique and appealing manner, said Beth Rogozinski, a founder of Transmedia SF and consultant on the Lost Spells project. œBy tying the game play to moving through a story and releasing levels as well as narrative chapters, we're setting the stage for follow on products that can expand our storyworld “ as well as players options for game play.

œI'm so pleased to be able to launch this campaign and very exited to be nearing the finish line on launching my first independent game for iOS, said Kevin Smith, game developer of Lost Spells and founder of Wise Old Duck Games. œI just really love making and playing games, especially word and card games “ and I hope audiences will enjoy playing Lost Spells and engaging in the storyline too.

Kevin Smith is an experienced game developer, having developed games for NAMCO and managed the mobile engineering team for Crowdstar. Prior to working on Lost Spells for iOS, Kevin developed and launched a successful word game on the web called Kaubable (http://games.wode.com/kabauble.php) that has thousands of loyal users. A true word game aficionado himself, Kevin was an avid Scrabble player and has played in Scrabble tournaments. œI really want to create games that are smart, nonviolent and unique, said Kevin. œGames that are challenging and fun; games that I would want to play.

Lost Spells: The Tower of Alba is currently being beta tested and is scheduled to launch in early 2013. To support the campaign to bring Lost Spells to market, find us on indiegogo here: http://www.indiegogo.com/lost-spells To join the beta test, contact Kevin @ wode.com.
