Posted by Kyle Ward in : General, Life, News, Pump It Up Jump , 8comments
The time has been going so fast lately… It’s hard to believe it’s 2009 already. What happened to all the 2000 years eh? 
As you may have noticed, my posting frequency has diminished in the recent months. Most of this is due to a lot of “work” related things I’ve been up to lately. There is a lot of stuff coming up in this 2009 year! Here are a couple things I’d like to update my site followers with:
1) Pump It Up Jump will finally be displayed! The first showing of Pump Jump will be at the ATEI 2009 show in the UK. I will not be present for the 2009 ATEI show, but the game will finally be displayed for respective buyers since we began development on the title in the 2008 year. Why has it taken this long? Our team has been busy working with Andamiro Korea to insure that the title will be a good earner for locations. Watch out for Pump It Up Jump at a kid friendly location near you in 2009!
2) Oscillator X is responsible for taking up a lot of my time recently. Our new “Dynamo” single has started to make it’s way to several dance radio outlets all over the world! We’ve also had an incredible success with the “Techno ~ Techyes” album. Thank you to everyone who pruchased a copy and helped support Oscillator X’s first release! Please be sure to contact us and give your inputs and suggestions on future material. As you can expect, we have been planning more Oscillator X hits in the 2009 year!
Watch out for information about live shows this year. Keep you browsers “tuned” to SCI Recordings for all these updates. I’ll also do my best to supply my site readers with updates. We Expect Oscillator X to continue it’s success in the 2009 year and we can’t wait to see what the future has in store!
3) As some people have noticed, Snake360 appears to be doing very well for Aaron Teplitsky. Followers of KaW music will be happy to know that he has licensed several tracks and they can be heard in this new fantastic take on a classic favorite. If you have an Xbox360, check it out immediately.
4) Snowball Runner has also taken off rather quickly. This new Apple Iphone favorite has been doing very well in the Itunes store. SnowBall Runner recently made overal top 100 paid apps from itunes. A very addicting game indeed.
There are additional projects going on that I’m not able to give full details on at this moment. So far the 2009 year is off to a great start! You can expect to hear more as the releases become closer. Some news you might not have even expected…
I hope everyone had a good holiday breaks and that you are ready for the 2009 year. Let us all hope for much success and inoovation in this coming year.
Pump It Up Jump - Pump with a friendly twist! August 29, 2008
Posted by Kyle Ward in : News, Pump It Up Jump , 6comments
As many people have seen, Our (Pump Pro) team has recently been working with Andamiro Korea to produce a new series to the Pump It Up family titled, “Pump It Up Jump”. Pump Jump is the first complete PIU title geared towards kids!
The Interface is very friendly and provides karaoke and entertainment for the whole family. The game features new kid styled tunes with some added pump classics! The cabinet has been designed to be very user friendly and easy to navigate. Even the PIU pad layout has been compressed for younger feet! The new cabinet features custom Andamiro design and updated hardware. It is our hope that this title will promote fun with benefits of exercise for all ages.
The title has been publicly beta testing for a few months through various locations in the USA and Korea. There are plans for versions targeted to specific kid locations. (ticket support is likely to be included in the final release) The feedback has been fairly well received with the kids in our beta markets so far!
Expect to see Pump Jump available later this year.
The songlist consists of the following songs: (Some songs familiar to the Pump franchise from other game titles)
Beethoven Virus
Bingo
Caprice of Otada
Chopstix
Dance All Night
Dr.M
Exotica
Funk Factory
Happy and You Know It
Higgledy Piggledy
I Love Jesus
Jack B Nimble

Point Break
Put Ya Hands Up
Ra
Row Row Row Your Boat

Stand Up
The Monkey Song
The Wheels On The Bus

Naturally, the game offers very easy levels designed for very young children. Currently, 2 steps levels are available to players. Beta imagery can be seen via youtube here.

Posted by Kyle Ward in : General, Pump It Up Jump , 15commentsHello everybody!
As you can tell, things have been quite busy this year. I’m excited to announce the plans for the next big KaW related project.
RA’s Palace will soon open in Portland Oregon. The restaurant has been under testing for the past 4 months and it has been doing quite well. What can you expect inside Ra’s Palace? A custom 6 course Moroccan meal with live DJ mixes of the best in Tribal House. There are plans for a live shows featuring Banzai every Friday of the month. The menu has been designed and critiqued by one of the best in the industry, Gordon Ramsay.
Here are some photos of the last Friday event at “Ra’s Palace” that Arturo, Smidget (World famous Pump it Up players), and Chris Foy have recently attended.
Dancing with some of the servers after the performance.
I look forward to the future at Ra’s Palace and Invite everyone to experience eclectic dining with a twist. Please stay tuned for future announcements.
