Receives Telefilm Canada Funding to Develop Music Game Toronto, ON. October 2, 2006 - Condition30 Inc. has been awarded Product Development and Marketing funding under Telefilm Canada’s New Media Fund to develop an interactive music game. The game allows anyone, regardless of musical background or talent, to create their own original compositions. Called "SuperGroup”, the game will rely on Condition30’s patent-pending technology to create the original compositions in real-time. "The music produced in the game will be complex, original and easy to create without relying on pre-recorded loops ," said Gary Bourgeois, Condition30's Complexity Engineer and SuperGroup Technical Lead. "Music games have large audience appeal," commented Laura Jo Gunter,
company's CEO and SuperGroup Producer. “SuperGroup will not only be an addictive
game, but will also unleash the game player’s creativity. Condition30 Inc. Awarded $100,000 to Develop Addictive Music Game Vancouver, B.C., December 19, 2003 - Condition30 Inc., a software research & development startup, has been awarded CDN$100,000 in funding from Telefilm Canada for its "Calliaphone Fantasies" new media project. When completed in mid-2004, the project will allow participants to explore their own musical creativity thanks to a powerful new software engine developed by Condition30 Ltd. "Calliaphone Fantasies" puts the player in the role of a music band manager. The player "auditions" a number of computer-generated "musicians," listening to the music that each one plays, while deciding how to form the best of the musicians into a hit band. The music is all computer-generated on the fly. Each musician plays within the dictates of certain parameters, but produces original music in real time. "Our software steps outside the usual boundaries created by standard development methodologies," said Gary Bourgeois, Condition30's senior development engineer. "Our engine is able to produce complex music that players will enjoy creating and listening to." Condition30 is also planning to sell its engine, called ZenStrings, to other game companies to automate their music generation. In Calliaphone Fantasies, engine will be adapted so that game players can produce their own music for their virutal bands. "We think Calliaphone Fantasies will prove to be very addictive to a broad audience," commented Laura Jo Gunter, the company's CEO and resident MBA. "It's a software toy that you can fiddle with for hours at a time over several months as you work towards producing the best virtual band on the Internet." Part of the addiction comes from the instant feedback in the music that is produced. "Almost everyone loves music, and when you give people a chance to release their inner musician without a lot of intense work, they'll gladly do it." The $100,000 awarded to Condition30 by Telefilm Canada will provide funding for market research and prototype development. The project is expected to be complete by the middle of 2004.

September 3, 2003 Condition30 Inc. is one of the top ten finalists in the Telus New Ventures BC competition. One of North America's largest business technology idea competitions, it attracted 113 initial competitors in April. Competitors attend workshops and receive mentorship as they progress through four rounds of competition. "We are very excited and pleased to be a finalist in this year's New Ventures BC competition," says Laura Jo Gunter, CEO for Condition30. "It affirms that we are on the right track in terms of launching a new company." Condition30's software significantly differentiates rich content while reducing production time, which increases revenues and lowers costs for clients such as video game and wireless application developers. Its most developed product is a music engine that composes music in real-time. This means no more looping or repetitive music for video games. "The music we create evolves over time as you play the game," says Complexity Engineer Gary Bourgeois. "The music's theme or genre remains the same, but you don't have to listen to the same few bars of music loop over and over again, which can become an annoying to the player."
