Game creation for a logistics company

Client: CityExpress

Description: CityExpress is a Moscow company providing courier and mail delivery services. Their goal was to increase repeat traffic and build community while simultaneously promoting their brand and creating buzz. They decided that a game built around CityExpress services would accomplish all four goals.

NTR presented several game ideas; the winning one having the user to play the role of mail sorter at CityExpress. This appealed to the client and we agreed on developing this Flash game for their entertainment portal CityExpression.ru.

Developed using Flash technology, the game is set in a storage facility where envelopes and parcels are falling from shelves and the player scores points by catching the falling items; it has three skill levels.

Website design with new features

Client: S.B. Smiths & Associates, Inc.


Description: S.B. Smiths & Associates, Inc is a company that designs and builds musical instruments. They required an easy-to-manage website, but wanted one that would show exactly how a musical instrument is made.

We chose Joomla content management system as the back end for its ease and convenience and a Flash-based slideshow of the process that creates a musical instrument masterpiece.

Integrating an existing website with a Joomla CMS

Client: Unionlinx

Description: Unionlinx is a full-cycle marketing communications agency. Their bilingual corporate website required dedicated IT resources for proper maintenance, additions and changes.

At our suggestion, a Joomla content management system was added as a backend to the site, this allowed non-technical staff to update existing pages, add new content, upload photos, etc.

Creation of corporate website

Client: Design studio REALPRO


Description: Award-winning Russian design studio REALPRO is a brand management authority, with expertise ranging from brand consulting to graphic and TV design. It has won a Grand Prix and two Gold medals at the Moscow International Advertising Festival and numerous other awards. It is among the top five companies on the 2007 Creativity List. In October 2007, REALPRO became full member of the Pan-European Brand Design Association and set out to expand its operations to the western markets. To do this, REALPRO decided they needed a significantly more prominent presence on the web.

The highly competitive advertising industry demands original and innovative ideas that entrance their audience; this is especially true when the product you’re selling is creativity.

REALPRO’s designers conceived the site’s new look and essential functionality and chose NTR Lab to implement the new website. As a result of their previous collaboration with NTR, REALPRO knew we could implement their unconventional ideas and that our developers could help develop a detailed specification for the site.

The central concept is for visitors to see all non-textual website information—logos, design screenshots, news illustrations, etc.—in a format similar to a film strip with each ‘picture’ appearing in a viewing window when it is clicked. When the viewed picture is clicked it expands again to present additional information.

The concept required creative implementation of Flash technology.

  • store and retrieve packages of information;
  • manage and distribute documents electronically (collaborate and share);
  • track events (e.g., current revisions) online, including notification system;
