Magma Studios developing a heritage virtual world that recreates Singapore’s formative 14th century.

SINGAPORE (17 September 2009) – Magma Studios today announced their new virtual world project World of Temasek, a virtual world/role-playing experience of distant 14th century Singapore. Developed in partnership with the National Heritage Board (NHB) and drawing on the knowledge of leading subject matter experts, World of Temasek will meticulously recreate Singapore’s colourful historical fabric replete with Bukit Larangan’s (present day Fort Canning) city wall and moat surrounding its palaces and temples. The buzzing Singapore River scene will also be depicted teeming with local transport and merchant ships from all over Asia in their daily bustle of socio-economic activities.  Not to be left out are spice shrubs whose products underpin the international trades of the period.  This topographically-correct virtual world will also feature the rich milieu of ethnic cultural life in which avatars dressed in period costumes mingle.
