Bastei Entertainment's Multimedia Project Netwars Unveils New Update - Published on 01/30/15

Bastei Entertainment has announced The Butterfly Attack 2.0.3, an update to their 3D graphic novel app for iOS and Android. Created by award-winning British novelist and screenplay writer M. Sean Coleman and the German production company Filmtank. In The Butterfly Attack, Coleman merges facts and actual events to create a captivating and visually stunning fictional story about a team of hackers hired to conduct a mock cyberwar exercise that goes terribly wrong.

Cologne, Germany - Bastei Entertainment has unveiled a new update to their 3D graphic novel app The Butterfly Attack, an interactive three-part series now available in one iOS and Android app. Created by award-winning British novelist and screenplay writer M. Sean Coleman and the German production company Filmtank, The Butterfly Attack is one component of the Netwars Project, a cross-platform, fact-based, multimedia experience that uses fictional characters to explore the real threat of digital warfare in today's technologically driven society.

The Butterfly Attack coincides with a web series, and a collection of eBooks that comprise the Netwars Project. Each part of the project is standalone while still complimentary to the larger story of netwars.

In The Butterfly Attack, Coleman merges facts and actual events to create a captivating and visually stunning fictional story about a team of hackers hired to conduct a mock cyberwar exercise that goes terribly wrong. Parallax technology enables the reader to become part of the story, with interactive motion sensors, 3D animations, video, and gaming elements fully integrated into the app.

"When I started out with this idea, I struggled with how to bring the amazing stories, threats and dangers posed by malicious hackers to the screen," said Coleman. "The graphic novel format fell perfectly between the written and the visual, allowing me to tell a story that could incorporate technical information with interactive clues, and enable the audience to go deep inside the minds and machines of the main characters."

The Butterfly Attack was originally created in English, and will be published simultaneously in German, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

Additional features of The Butterfly Attack graphic novel app include:
* A fascinating graphic novel in three parts
* Background information on real cyber security issues
* Immersive experience complete with parallax 3D scenes, animations, sound effects and interactive elements
