AlphaZeta, Inc. Launches Holiday-Themed Interactive Sock Puppet Video Game

AlphaZeta Inc. announced today the launch of "Christmas at the Stinky Feet Tavern," a holiday-themed interactive online video game. Contestants win a chance at a new iPod Mini and iPod socks.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 22, 2004 -- The creative technologists at AlphaZeta, Inc. today announced the launch of Christmas at the Stinky Feet Tavern," an online, interactive video game that asks users to guide a group of dirty, highly inebriated sock puppets through a night at their local tavern without inflicting severe puppet harm. Players who successfully direct the unruly puppets get a chance to win a brand new iPod Mini and a new set of iPod Socks.

This was originally intended as a Christmas card for clients and loved ones," said AlphaZeta CEO Michael Davies, but we had such a good time making it and filming it that we knew we had to share it with a bigger audience."

Christmas at the Stinky Feet Tavern" features scenes shot in digital video and integrated into a flash interface. Users then choose the puppets next moves, and can view the consequences in video as theyre chosen.

Scenarios include dealing with an out of control sock monkey, fending off an overly amorous puppet chanteuse, ordering flaming shots, reacting to a bad Christmas bonus and handling a full-on puppet brawl.

The concept, design, video production and technical development were all handled by AlphaZeta. Besides being a fun way to spread a little holiday cheer, this really pushes the limits of Flash video technology," says Davies. An interface like this is an incredibly useful tool for entertaining and educating customers or employees. Were always looking to push the edge of creative technology and are looking forward to offering this relatively new form of multimedia development services to our customers."
