As we discussed with VP Todd Northcutt recently, online games technology company GameSpy is seeing a great take up in terms of its services, especially driven by mobile.
Its Open program, which is designed for indies, now totally 1,200 developers with more than 600 games in development.
Good connections
Examples include Emotional Robots' iOS FPS, Warm Gun, and Glu Mobile's cross-platform shooter Gun Bros..
"Making a robust online experience is absolutely essential for the Emotional Robots team and for Warm Gun," said executive producer Zach Lehman.
"Warm Gun is a full game experience with Unreal Engine-powered visuals, great artwork and most importantly, an intense multiplayer experience.
"GameSpy Technology helps us to put together a complete package, with robust data tracking, social network integration and multiplayer."
GameSpy's services are free for developers to download and access from www.poweredbygamespy.com, allowing them to immediately explore how to incorporate online functionality and data tracking into their games.
