  Deal Marks First MMOG to Feature a Nickelodeon Television Property
  
  SpongeBob SquarePants Creative Team to Collaborate on Development
  
  SINGAPORE, HONG KONG, SEOUL, South Korea, TOKYO and NEW YORK, June 8 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- MTV Networks Asia, a division of Viacom Inc (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B ), and leading Asian online games company GigaMedia Limited (Nasdaq: GIGM) today announced plans to co-develop and jointly publish the first Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) based upon Nickelodeon's global smash hit, SpongeBob SquarePants. The game will be the first Nickelodeon television property to be developed as an MMOG, and Viacom's first to be developed outside of the United States. The SpongeBob SquarePants MMOG will launch in 2011 in multiple languages for players in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and India.
  
  The SpongeBob SquarePants creative team at the Burbank-based Nickelodeon Animation Studios will work closely with GigaMedia to develop the online environment and SpongeBob SquarePants avatars, allowing millions of players throughout Asia to create, customize and personalize the world's first MMOG version of Bikini Bottom.
  
  "Partnering with GigaMedia on the development of a SpongeBob SquarePants MMOG allows us to bring the residents of Bikini Bottom into a whole new world -- one that is tremendously popular in Asia and presents unlimited creative and business opportunities for the franchise," said Jihee Nam, Vice President of Digital for MTV Networks Asia. "SpongeBob SquarePants is Nickelodeon's best known property within Asia and we're extremely proud to oversee the development of the MMOG with local business partners. We look forward to working hand in hand with GigaMedia on bringing SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Gary and Sandy Cheeks to life in an entirely new and incredibly popular online world."

  You wander around, meet up with Patrick, catch jellyfish and annoy Squidward all day.
  The next day you go to work.
  The cycle continues.

  [FONT="Century Gothic"]Well let's see here...
  The currency would probably be clams.
  Krabby Patties would probably serve as something to recover HP, and kelp shakes MP or somethin'.
  An included mini-game could be jelly fishing, and then you could use their jelly with your cooking skill.
  Said cooking skill would allow you to make your own Krabby Patties an' stuff.
  You could do part time jobs at the Krusty Krab for some extra clams.
  Squidward would sell you instruments.
  If they have a cash shop they'll sell pet snails.
  And... I could probably think of so much more due to my Spongebob obsessed brother, but I think you get the idea. D:
  
  That is how I think that the game would work. :glasses:
  I demand moneys if I'm right >8D[/FONT]

  The majority of kids that watch Spongebob are not your average grinders, kay? It's going to look like Flyff, have a combat system similar to runsecape, and have a world the size of a metaphorical peanut.
