PopSip, LLC, a newcomer to the social media gaming space, announced today that it has released the initial PopSip web application at www.popsip.com. PopSip is a free online game focused on trivia, opinion and other question and answer scenarios. The initially web-based PopSip system is the basis for numerous future PopSip games which will be released in 2012. The company also stated that it expects to release PopSip on many platforms including Android and iPhone apps in the next few weeks.
This is the initial release of PopSip and is the core product in a planned family of PopSip applications. Future offerings will allow more social interaction and promote group usage as well as incorporate a virtual world complete with customizable game structures. The company expects to complete several of these enhanced releases in 1Q12.
PopSip, LLC was established in 2011 with the sole purpose of designing games that make waiting more fun while also incorporating an architecture that supports deployment of the technology as a business tool. This dual usage approach will ensure a quality user experience in the game and the business use will assist in financially supporting the efforts of the company. Though this release marks PopSip’s first software development project, they chose to engage FTI Groups, Inc. to manage their development and initial marketing. FTI Groups has a proven track record in application architecture, design and development, including mobile applications.
“We are excited about the launch of PopSip and look forward to the great things we know it will bring in the coming year”, stated Jeffrey Godwin, Vice President of FTI Groups. “The new PopSip product is just the beginning of what we have planned for PopSip in the coming year. The game has social media components, virtual worlds and a unique approach to interactions is planned.”
The PopSip game is a trivia and opinion question and answer game that allows users to pass time answering questions or by asking questions of the soon to be established user community. Players will soon be able to build friend groups, host private questions, upload images and manage their own virtual world including a custom game for themselves and their friends who visit their customized PopSip experience.
PopSip hopes to enhance the user experience with regular software updates in the coming months and expects to release the PopSip application on a large number of platforms in the first quarter of 2012. Significant development is underway for these feature and platform enhancements but the company felt it was important to deploy the first generation of the technology this week in advance of the Christmas holiday for the use of any early adopters who may like to play the game while traveling or while stuffed with a holiday feast.
“FTI Groups is proud to be deploying the initial phase of the PopSip concept and we look forward to enhancing the offering to PopSip players in the coming months”, said Mr. Godwin. “This is a brand new product and just as we have plans for growth, we hope our users will also send their ideas to suggestions@popsip.com to allow us to better serve the community.”
PopSip has new features in testing now for release in early 2012 and fully expects to have apps available in the App Store and the Android Market before the end of 2011. The PopSip game is free on all platforms and user experience is the cornerstone of all current development efforts including the upcoming release of more enhanced photo and video options for PopSip.
