Peach Maria Productions, maker of GameMaster, partners with Scuti for a new reality show just for gamers. Nicholas Longano is currently CEO at Scuti. Scuti has created a gamer’s marketplace and a “gCommerce” platform where players can earn reward points through engagement with a game or, in this case, a show, and then spend those reward points in a marketplace full of physical or digital gamer goods.
Peach Maria Productions is creating the upcoming video series GameMaster which will be hosted by actor Wil Wheaton. The show will depict 12 up-and-comer amateur creators and skilled gamers in an American Idol-like talent show where they compete for a $1 million cash prize. The twelve gamers will compete in more than two dozen games across eight genres and gaming systems. After each week, one of the gamers will be sent home until there is just one winner.
Laurie Lockliear, the executive producer of the show, stated:
“We’re bringing 12 gamers to live in a mansion and compete against each other. By the end of it, after 25 games in nine different gaming genres, we’ll find out who the best gamer or streamer in America really is.”
