Acquired by RIM in June, things at German mobile social gaming network Scoreloop have been quiet for awhile, publicly at least.
At BlackBerry DevCon, however, ex-CEO, now RIM senior director, gaming platform, Marc Gumpinger announced some figures about the network which now supports PlayBook with a beta SDK, alongside iOS, Android, Windows Phone and bada.
Since its launch over two years ago, Scoreloop has accumulated 80 million users, hosting 750 millions gaming sessions and 5 billion scores.
Lots of friends
"We're on multiple platforms which is good for developers," Gumpinger said.
"The best way for your games to stand out is if your players recommend them to their friends.
"We're a great tool to solve discoverability, but you need a massive number of people, and a massive amount of activity, which is what we offer."
Gumpinger also revealed the Scoreloop team had been working with Konami to integrate its platform within the mobile version of Pro Evolution Soccer; also working with ZeptoLabs for the Android version of Cut the Rope.
The iOS version is published by Chillingo, hence using its proprietary Crystal network on that platform.
