Fp-produced video game
Flashpoint students created Juggle Mania, an online flash-based video game using assets from the Edgar and Ellen special “Nobody’s Fools” provided by Star Farm Productions. The fan-inspired Edgar & Ellen series airs on Nicktoons Network. Juggle Mania debuted on the Edgar & Ellen website on April 1st and has already had international entries from the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Finland, Ireland and Canada. Juggle Mania was designed for children ages 6-12 and will be on the Edgar & Ellen website during April Fools’ Month.
Students worked with the Game Development Chair Simeon Peebler, Executive Producers Howard A. Tullman and Paula Froehle and Producer Steven Berger to create the project. “Collaborating on Juggle Mania with Star Farm was a wonderful opportunity for both Flashpoint students & staff,” Producer, Steven J. Berger stated. Edgar & Ellen is an amazing franchise and we look forward to partnering with Star Farm on many projects to come.”
Star Farm Productions SVP, Marketing, Colleen Fahey, was impressed with the students’ work. “Star Farm Productions provided the students with art and they provided creativity and humor. Now we have kids from a dozen countries playing the game.”
Digital entertainment is an expanding, ever-evolving, trillion-dollar industry worldwide and Flashpoint Academy is putting its students at the forefront, igniting creativity and preparing the next generation of digital professionals by working hands-on directly with industry leaders such as Star Farm. Flashpoint is proud to have this ongoing relationship with Star Farm and their global property, Edgar & Ellen.
