Alchemic Dream Supports 'Cash-For-Kills' MMO

-Online game company Alchemic Dream has announced it's partnered with Kwari, publisher and developer of the anti-social "cash for kills" shooter of the same name. Alchemic Dream will provide customer support and other consultations for the game, in which players earn money through kills they make in first-person shooting gameplay.

Kwari's free to download, but players have to purchase the ammunition for their weapons. It narrowly escaped censure under gambling regulations because of the "gaming skill" it says is involved in succeeding against other players competing for the same goal. The last player standing after a multiplayer shooting competition wins a cash prize.

Kwari previously announced that it had licensed BigWorld's technology suite middleware platform to develop the game.
