Social discovery network boosts scale

PocketGems, Spacetime Studios and Digital Chocolate join Heyzap's 800-strong developer community
Mobile social gaming network Heyzap has announced a 12 strong list of developers now working with its Heyzap SDK.

Though most of these developers were previously known, Heyzap have taken the opportunity to point out some of the bigger devs to settle under its umbrella.

These include social mobile online pioneer Spacetime Studios, fast growing social mobile PocketGems, publisher Digital Chocolate, as well as smaller outfits such as Nubee, Bionic Panda Games, Magma Mobile, GameDuell, Animoca, Fluik, Get Set Games, the BBC and Vostu.

Overall, Heyzap has 800 developers using its social discovery platform.

"Foursquare has its location network, Instagram has its picture network, Socialcam has its version of that," said co-founder Jude Gomila.

"No one's really built the gaming community yet. They've done it in hardcore gaming … but no one's done it for the Angry Birds and Farmville generation."

Spacetime Studios integrates Heyzap into its Pocket Legends and Star Legends titles while Nubee is known for developing Japan Life.
