Dream71 to develop gaming for East Timor children
Local software huge Dream71 Bangladesh is defined to develop several educational videogames for East Timor, a Southeast Asian nation located on the Pacific, a development that can be viewed as just one more feather on the cap to the country's budding ICT sector.
Dream71 won a global tender under the US Development Programme (UNDP) predicated on the company's experience in this type of work.
The business had to fend off competition from 39 companies from Bangladesh, India, Australia, Brazil, Vietnam and the Philippines
"We won the bid when confronted with serious competition," stated Rashad Kabir, managing director of Wish71, while declining to reveal the project's total value.

The business had developed science-based video gaming for sixth- to eighth-grade students with the help from the training ministry and usage of information programme (a2i), another UNDP concern.

The project is set to be complete next four months, and the local software company will keep up with the quality of the video game through bug patches for the next four months, he said.
Students will experience the decision to play found in either English, Portuguese or perhaps Tetun, a local language of East Timor, and each video game will have a good total runtime of about two hours.
"The UNDP office in East Timor can help us with the dialect concerns," Kabir said.
The games' production will be completed virtually due to the social distancing guidelines set up targeted at curbing the spread of coronavirus within the country.
Wish71 started as a video game developer but has grown into a full-fledged program company with clientele from 14 countries, including Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands and the UAE.
