GameSpy announces to open APIs for data & development services.

Jacob — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:19:30 +0000

During the 2010 Game Developers Conference (GDC) this week, GameSpy Technology, the video game industry’s leading provider of multi-platform online services, announced GameSpy Open, an initiative to open APIs for data and development services, making it easier for its partners on all platforms to add compelling online features to games, measure game performance and audience engagement, and collaborate with their communities. By opening up data and services, GameSpy hopes to tear down the walls around online game development, enable new business models and make it much easier for publishers and developers to harness the power of online and social innovations.

“The web approach to software development has shown the explosive power of openness, where collaboration amongst groups leads to greater results. Gaming, on the other hand, tends to take place in ‘walled gardens,’” said Todd Northcutt, Vice President, GameSpy Technology. “We want to help developers create better, more entertaining and more profitable online game experiences. We intend to do this by supporting open standards and by providing more open access to game data.”

GameSpy will be opening access to developers and game data to the game community through new GameSpy Open APIs. Game developers will be able to define what game data to retain for their use and what game data they wish to make available through the GameSpy Open APIs, allowing for incredible innovation from both developers and community alike.

GameSpy will also be supporting OpenID, both as an identity provider and a relying party, which means that millions of people around the globe will be able to take advantage of GameSpy’s services with their existing online identity. OpenID is an open, decentralized framework for user-centric digital identity, eliminating multiple usernames on more than 100 million websites, blogs, and profile pages, including Google, Yahoo!, MySpace and WordPress. Using an OpenID will soon grant immediate access to all of GameSpy’s services as well as IGN Entertainment’s sites, which gives game developers access to millions of users and dramatically reduces barriers to entry.

GameSpy Technology updates that will be introduced at GDC in support of GameSpy Open include:

* ATLAS 2.0: The new revision of the service for tracking user statistics and metrics in video games now supports tens of thousands of data points per player, makes it substantially easier for developers to track data about their games and open that information up to their communities through new GameSpy Open APIs designed for community access.
* Sake Cloud Storage: Updates to Sake, GameSpy’s cloud data storage service for games, make it easier than ever for developers to empower users to create and share game-based content. GameSpy Open APIs provide the community access to screenshots, videos, and other content created within the game to be shared on the Web and social networks.
* iPhone Online Development Suite: GameSpy has made it fast and easy for developers of every size to add essential online features to their iPhone games by adding a new customizable user interface atop GameSpy’s registration, buddy, statistic and leaderboard services. GameSpy is the only multiplatform service provider to open services to the iPhone platform, benefiting developers who also want to put games on the DS, PSP, Wii, PSN and PC, with an API common across all platforms.

For a further look at how GameSpy sees this seismic shift in approach to providing online services and shared gameplay experiences, the company will be hosting an exclusive session at the Game Developers Conference on Thursday, March 11, beginning at 1:30 PM. Interested developers attending GDC can stop by GameSpy, located in Moscone South Hall #1124 on the convention floor. More information can also be found online at http://www.poweredbygamespy.com

MySpace announces new MySpace Games experience.

Jacob — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:15:15 +0000

MySpace today announced a new MySpace Games experience that creates a more social gaming environment with new tools and functionality for users and developers. The site, available at myspace.com/games, launched today at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. These big steps are an evolution of the MySpace Platform to improve users’ gaming experience with a simple way to discover and share games. It also offers improved application engagement and analytics tools for developers on the MySpace Platform.

Also at GDC, MySpace announced the MySpace Neon iPhone application, giving users access to their MySpace games on the iPhone. MySpace also showcases new social games including Fish Isle (IGG), Hoop Fever Live (TheBroth), Kingdoms of Camelot (Watercooler), Paradise Paintball (CMUNE), SPP Ranch (Slide), Warlords (BitRhymes), Wild Ones (Playdom), and Zombie Revenge (DeezGames).

“Nearly one-third of MySpace users engage daily with games. We believe the new experience will empower even more of the MySpace audience to discover, share, and showcase games, which along with music and movies, are core to our content strategy,” said Mike Jones, MySpace Co-President. “We’ve been working with our developer partners to understand where they’d like to see MySpace go; based on that feedback we started rebuilding MySpace Games. These are the first steps in offering robust tools for developers to help their businesses thrive.”

The new MySpace Games Gallery now makes it easy for users to stay up to date on their games through Notifications, and discover new games through their friends’ Stream, personalized game recommendations, and popular game charts. Users will also be able to rate games, which enhance search results and recommendations.

MySpace provides a platform that is simple and friendly to independent game developers, while giving robust support for premium games from major development houses resulting in more gaming choices for users and developers alike. For developers, the new experience is a step to improve application engagement as games will be merchandised in more areas, games can be shared more easily by users, and deeper analytics tools provide more insight into how games are being used and by which demographics.

MySpace Platform developers are now able to:

– Review application-specific analytics via a new API, including invitation conversions, active users, notification responses and demographics.

– Build games in rich, 3D-like quality with Unity’s powerful 3D engine and allow MySpace users to access the games with a new plug-in. For example, Paradise Paintball utilizes this technology.

– Encourage cross-platform competition with Scoreloop, which allows games on different platforms to share the same high scores, achievements, challenges and buddy lists.

– Utilize GroovyCortex, which is a cloud-based solution for onsite application developers, to provide low latency push data for multiplayer games.

– Track the source of application invitations and utilization to learn how users are finding and choosing specific games.

“We are impressed with MySpace’s renewed commitment to deliver a great gaming experience to their users and our players,” said Marianne Borenstein, vice president of platform relations and player experience at Playdom. “We have worked closely with them to develop a roadmap that will improve promotional and viral channels on the platform. The gallery is the first of many new initiatives we’re excited to see roll out.”

For developers at GDC, MySpace is hosting “Game Development on Social Platforms” today, March 10. The day will focus on understanding how to build games for social platforms, the business aspects of developing social games, and how developers and designers can tap MySpace’s massive and highly engaged audience. Developers and gamers will be able to directly start building or perfecting their games with the help of the MySpace technical team and its partners. Speakers will include representatives from MySpace, InsideSocialGames, Lightspeed Ventures, Motorola, Unity 3D and more. The winners of the MySpace Developer Challenge will be announced, and include:

– Best New MySpace App: Paradise Paintball

– Most innovative use of the Real-Time Stream API: GeoMeme

– Most innovative use of the Open Search API: Social Mention

– Most innovative use of the Photos API: Browser Not Included

– Most innovative MySpace Integration on Mobile: iSkoot

Also announced at GDC, the new MySpace Neon for iPhone application will give users access to their MySpace games on the go. The application will make it easy for users to interact with games on their iPhones, share related real-time notifications with friends, and view the Stream with just game-related notifications. Users will be able to access all games available on MySpace and have the ability to remotely install games. The game will be available for iPhone users in the coming weeks.

Linux Foundation launches Linux.com store, includes Design Contest Community.

Jacob — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:05:31 +0000

The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today launched a new merchandise store on Linux.com where people can purchase a new line of exclusive and original T-shirts, hats, mugs and other items that reflect “geek culture.”

The merchandise available in the Linux.com Store is designed to reflect the unique and varied culture associated with Linux; for example, visitors to the Linux.com Store won’t find corporate-looking “logo T’s.” The images on the T-shirts, mugs, hats, stickers and other items are designed to invoke feelings of geek pride, freedom, fun, eccentricity, and originality.

The Linux Store is open today at http://store.linux.com/.

The Linux Foundation today is also launching its Linux.com T-shirt Design Contest. The designs available in the Linux.com Store are currently limited to the creativity of a select few. With the new Store, the Linux Foundation will provide a forum in which community designs can be shared, rated and ultimately made available on Linux.com Store merchandise. This gives anyone the opportunity to help generate important funds for Linux Foundation activities.

Design submissions are due by April 11, 2010. The top five designs will be available for community vote at Linux.com through June 6, 2010. The winning design will be included on T-shirts available for purchase in the Linux.com Store and the designer will be awarded with travel to Boston, Mass., to attend LinuxCon (http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon) in August.

To submit your design, please visit: http://www.linux.com/tshirt-design-contest.

“Selling Linux-specific merchandise is another way to support community development. The Linux.com Store aims to serve a community of people who want to display their affinity for Linux specifically while supporting important activities that advance the platform,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. “And, the Linux.com T-shirt Design Contest will bring to light the best merchandise we can offer in the Store and will showcase community talent in an entirely new and fun way.”

All revenue generated from the Linux.com Store will go directly towards Linux Foundation activities, events and strategic initiatives. The Linux Foundation uses funds from a variety of revenue streams to support the work of Linux creator Linus Torvalds and to sustain important services such as technical events; travel grants for open source community members; a vendor-neutral forum for projects such as MeeGo; and free training resources direct from the kernel community; among others.

About the Linux Foundation
The Linux Foundation is a nonprofit consortium dedicated to fostering the growth of Linux. Founded in 2007, the Linux Foundation sponsors the work of Linux creator Linus Torvalds and is supported by leading Linux and open source companies and developers from around the world. The Linux Foundation promotes, protects and standardizes Linux by hosting important workgroups, events and online resources such as Linux.com.
