1DER :
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY – Dec. 6., 2023 – 1DER Entertainment, the developer behind the Tiny Archers VR game, and Wonder Fitter, the manufacturer of the Artemis smart bow, are proud to announce a close partnership.
Tiny Archers is a captivating tower defense game that transports players to an enchanting realm, offering a range of diverse challenges. Artemis is a lightweight, accessible smart bow designed primarily for home and arcade gaming, surpassing its predecessors.
While both products stand out individually, together they elevate the genre to new heights and offer an unprecedented level of immersion.
“The moment we integrated support into the game, I knew that Artemis was to Tiny Archers what a premium force feedback wheel is to an excellent racing game – they were made for each other. Once you pick it up, you’ll never want to play without it again. It’s an honour that Wonder Fitter embraced our game as enthusiastically as we did their peripheral,” stated Balázs Bodócs, CEO of 1DER Entertainment.
“Our partnership with 1DER Entertainment stands as a pivotal milestone for Wonder Fitter, notably with the revolutionary Artemis Gaming Bow. Envisioning a redefined gaming experience, we aim to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge technology with immersive gameplay. Throughout this collaboration, our steadfast commitment is to deliver products that not only meet but surpass the expectations of our customers.” said Sunkey Zeng, founder of Wonder Fitter.
The two companies are planning to offer a bundle in the future, including both the smart bow and the game, as well as complete packages for the location-based entertainment segment.
ABOUT ARTEMIS:
Introducing Artemis, the pinnacle of smart gaming bows designed to redefine your gaming experience. With its hand-tailored design, this reimagined model boasts a lightweight, ergonomic profile that naturally fits your grip, providing both comfort and control.
Key features:
Enjoy archery anytime, anywhere, be it indoors or outdoors. By default, the Wonder Fitter companion app (available on Android and iOS) includes a variety of games and unlocks an unparalleled archery adventure, making it truly immersive and lifelike.
Prioritizing safety with triple protection measures, the intelligent arrow shaft features an air valve buffer device employing patented technology. This innovation can effectively absorb up to 50lbs of archery impact force and prevent the arrow shaft from leaving the arrow barrel. The double-locking mechanism, encompassing both the arrow shaft and its tail, ensures arrow stability even during high-speed flight, preventing loosening.
With cutting-edge technology, the device is equipped with the Wonderfitter Aiming Module 2.0 chip, specially designed for bows. Upgraded sensors make your archery more accurate and smoother. The chip integrates multiple sensors and has a battery life of up to 4 hours.
Easily assembled in just three steps, including the bow piece, bowstring, and quiver. It is convenient to carry and takes up minimal space for travel or storage.
The total weight of the bow and arrow is 660g. The bow handle is made of a new composite ABS material, while the intelligent arrow shaft is made of carbon fiber, allowing it to be fired over 100,000 times. The bow piece is made of glass fiber and has a maximum tensile force of 10lbs.
Its ergonomic design provides a comfortable experience, featuring a wide and thick grip with an anti-slip leather pattern for enhanced texture and feel. The symmetrical design is suitable for both left and right-handed individuals, accommodating different hand shapes and habits.
