Press Release - Millimages and Ox Eye Media expand MOLANG into board games, comics

Support me on Patreon!

Ox Eye Media has partnered with French animation studio Millimages to expand the popular character MOLANG into a series of comic books, board games and puzzles in 2022. 

“We at Ox Eye Media are very excited to be working with MOLANG. MOLANG and Piu Piu’s message is one that we’re very passionate about. We hope to add to that message as well as make it interactive with our games, puzzles and graphic novels,” says Ox Eye Media President Jacob Way.

Originally created as an online emoticon in 2010 by South Korean illustrator Hye-Ji Yoon, a chance encounter between Hye-Ji and Millimages resulted in a MOLANG animated television series. The series became an overnight hit, broadcasted in over 190 territories.

“We at Millimages are extremely proud to be a part of the new business lines of Ox Eye Media who are extremely creative and present in all of the major comic book conventions. Thanks to our agent, Licensing Works!®, and our many partners in the U.S., MOLANG is going to spread its incredible message of kindness and acceptance throughout the nation,” says Millimages Director General Marina Narishkin.

Radiating kawaii cuteness, MOLANG is all about friendship, spreading love, happiness and positivity. MOLANG has no nationality, is ageless and gender-neutral, and values taking care of the planet. Now, MOLANG’s universal language of good vibes will be felt in comics, games and puzzles. 

“MOLANG is an all-ages IP that we’re all thrilled to be working with. Expanding our all-ages lineup at Source Point Press with MOLANG manhwa graphic novels is a dream come true,” says Ox Eye Media Art Director Josh Werner. 

Ox Eye Media is an American entertainment company founded in 2019 by the merging of Deep Water Games, Source Point Press and N3 Art. Deep Water Games is a Midwest publisher and distributor of board games and board game accessories such as Fantastic Factories, MonsDRAWsity and more. Source Point Press is the publisher of books, comics and graphic novels such as Felix the Cat and Monstrous. N3 Art is an artists first publisher of gaming accessories.

For inquiries or interview opportunities regarding MOLANG graphic novels and board games, email cameron@oxeyemedia.com.

Millimages is an Independent animation studio operating out of Paris since 1991. With a catalogue of over 1,500 hours of produced content, Millimages prides in developing, producing, worldwide distributing & licensing high profile content on all media, with over 75 IPs generating 10M+ daily views.

Press Release - Call of Cthulhu Terror Paths from Petersen Games

Support me on Patreon!

News Release Terror crawls beneath the surface of our world. Secret passages lead to hideous destinations that bear witness to unspeakable deeds. Hidden in the shadows THEY want to bring about events to shatter the minds of mankind and tear asunder the cosmos itself.

Game designer Sandy Petersen returns again to Lovecraftian gaming with a new board game: Call of Cthulhu Terror Paths Forty years ago Sandy's roleplaying game Call of Cthulhu was published by Chaosium. It changed the world of gaming and also made the then-obscure writer Lovecraft and his creations (such as Cthulhu) both cultural phenomena.   Now Sandy is back with a new board game inspired by the Call of Cthulhu RPG, and produced under license from Chaosium Inc. "It’s terrific to re-activate my old connections with Chaosium and work closely with them once more. I look forward to introducing new players to the horror of Lovecraft’s tales with a fast and easy to play board game. It also has the depth and detail to fascinate even the most experienced gamer. It provides an authentic and unique Call of Cthulhu experience. The game design is done and I consider Call of Cthulhu Terror Paths to be my personal contribution to the 40th anniversary of Call of Cthulhu!" Expected release will be in 2022. More information about Call of Cthulhu Terror Paths including a video trailer will be found here: https://petersengames.com/terror/
