ANGUILLA, B.W.I. / ACCESSWIRE / September 20, 2018 / Shoal Games Ltd. (OTCQB: SGLDF) (TSX-V: SGW) ("the Company"), mobile software developer, publisher, and owner of Rooplay, the OTT EdTech games platform (http://www.rooplay.com) and The Wonderfilm Media Corporation (WNDR), announced today that they have entered into a collaboration agreement to assist each other in research, development and distribution on VOD and OTT platforms globally.
"Shoal Games' expertise in the OTT space, as demonstrated with their games platform Rooplay, provides Wonderfilm a skilled partner to assist in the development of Wonderfilm's planned entry into Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD)." said Kirk Shaw, Wonderfilm CEO.
