Trilogy Studios has announced that its drive to raise 3.2 million USD in funding is complete. Additionally, Michael Wilson, CEO of Makena Technologies and producer of There.com, has been named to the board of directors of Trilogy Studios.
“We continue to leverage our extensive background of developing multi-million unit selling videogames to enhance the entertainment experience of virtual worlds and casual MMOs,” said Michael Pole, chairman and CEO of Trilogy Studios.
“Combining our decades of experience in traditional gaming with Makena’s leadership in social networking, we can provide media companies the opportunity to build a one on one relationship with their consumers while promoting and monetizing their content libraries and new entertainment properties in this exciting new medium.”
The Santa Monica, California based company plans to invest the funds in its virtual worlds and casual MMOs. MTV Network’s most popular online virtual world Pimp My Ride was designed and launched by Trilogy Studios.
“We’re having a successful run with MTV’s Virtual ‘Pimp My Ride,’ and we’ve received very promising feedback from established media companies looking to extend their film, television and music content into the virtual world space,” said Rick Giolito, president of Trilogy Studios and former vice president and executive producer of EA Los Angeles.
