Vivox, the leading provider of integrated voice services for online games and virtual worlds, today announced an integration and joint marketing agreement with Monumental Games and the inclusion of the Vivox Precision Studio™ in the Monumental Technology Suite (MTS)
The inclusion of the Vivox Precision Studio SDK in the Monumental Technology Suite now offers game developers a full-featured voice solution with the proven ability to deliver voice over the internet on the massive scale that online games demand. Multiple options exposed through robust APIs assure that voice can be deployed in ways that best match the game world, strategy, and style of play. No matter what the social structure of the game, MTS and Vivox provide the options, capabilities, and infrastructure to connect players simply and intuitively. Vivox communication services are professionally hosted and managed and tightly integrated into the game, with a user interface that is controlled by the developer. All players communicate clearly and naturally on persistent or dynamically created voice channels with full server-side mixing that eliminates demand on the game servers and minimizes local CPU impact.
“Voice communications is no longer an accessory for multi-player games,” said Rob Seaver, CEO of Vivox. “Players expect the highest quality integrated communications. This partnership enables Monumental Games to deliver the feature-rich communications services required in today’s market with the assurance that they and their customers will be supported by a team of communication experts. We are very happy to be a part of Monumental Games’ ongoing commitment to providing the best possible solutions to their customers.”
