The AmyWorld Project | Frequently Asked Questions

PROJECT INFORMATION

The AmyWorld Project involves the creation of a series of high-quality educational software titles for children, that will run on Windows-based PCs. The programs will feature a cute little puppy named Amy, who will introduce children to early-learning concepts, in a fun and entertaining manner.

Currently, Amy's Fun-2-3 Adventure is the first program in the series, but future titles will include:

Amy's Play-B-C Time
Amy's Hide & Seek Shapes
Amy's Paint 'n' Play
Amy's Math Bath

Amy's programs are designed for young children, from the ages of about 2 to 5 years old. But older children shouldn't feel left out, as there are plans to introduce titles with more advanced subject matter in the future. Amy will also appear in a number of games, that all ages will surely enjoy.

The programs are free to download and use.

No, buying a site license isn't required if you plan to use the programs at your school. The programs are free to use, whether you use them in your home, school, library, church, or other public site.

Many individuals and schools around the world don't have access to the latest computer hardware, so it's important that multiple versions of each program in the series are available, so that as many children as possible can benefit from their use.

A "Standard Version" will be created that will run on any Windows-based PC, (Windows 95 and up), that will run on older hardware with standard 4:3 monitors.

A "Widescreen Version" will also be created, that will be specifically designed with enhanced features and beautiful high-resolution widescreen graphics to take advantage of today's much more powerful PCs and graphic cards.

A "Compact Version" may also be created in cases where a program might be too large for individuals with dial-up Internet connections to comfortably download. The Compact Version will be exactly like the Standard Version, but will have lower-resolution music and sound effects, which will provide for a more manageable download.

Making Amy's programs available to as many children around the world as possible is our goal, so we'll do all we can to create programs that everyone can have access to.

Absolutely not. There isn't any sort of malicious programming code in Amy's programs. You can rest easy knowing that your computer is completely safe when using them.

For now. Eventually though, it would be nice to be able to offer them in a variety of languages. We'll provide more news on this in the future.

Only that we're very excited about this project and hope that you and your children will be looking forward to it, too. The entire project will require many years of hard work, due to the number of programs that are planned for release. In the meantime, please be patient, because creating quality software is a challenging, time-consuming process. Free or not, quality, attention to detail, and educational and entertainment value are all very important to us here at The AmyWorld Project... as we're sure they are to you as well.

Thank you, and we hope that your children enjoy playing and learning with Amy.
