Come2Play Adds Virtual Currency Monetization Platform

September 15th, 2009 - by Christopher Mack

It was over a year ago that we first looked at the white label social gaming platform, Come2Play. Since then, he company has been pretty quiet. Nonetheless, it looks like they are busy again with their latest, and quite significant, addition to the platform: Virtual currency monetization.

For those unfamiliar with Come2Play, it first launched with a service that lets web site owners easily integrate a customizable social gaming channel into web pages. Each channel contains game galleries composed of titles submitted to the Come2Play network, and include multiple play rooms, chat, and virtual goods rewards. Last October, multiplayer API was added, and while, at the time, it only was capable of supporting two-player games, when combined with the existing virtual goods, it paved the way to this latest release.

Come2Play Now Features A Multiplayer API

October 20th, 2008 - by InsideSocialGames 

One of the largest pitfalls of most social games is that the game play does not normally contain a true multiplayer aspect. Sure, you can compete with others in asynchronous turns, collect badges, and unlock achievements as bragging rights, but the games in which you can play with others synchronously are limited to games like Chess or Poker.

Part of the reason multiplayer games are not seen very often in the social space is the overall difficulty involved in hosting and building multiplayer infrastructure. This is where Come2Play comes to the rescue.

Making multi-player games an (almost) open-source experience

October 08, 2008 - by Matt Asay  

Video games have long struck me as a perfect platform for open-source development. Unfortunately, many gamers agreed, and the courts are littered with copyright lawsuits over the years when developers tried to extend their favorite games.

Now Come2Play has made building and extending games and open-source affair: safe, legal, and fun. No, Come2Play won't let developers hack the games of Electronic Arts, Activision, etc. But it will allow them to create fun multi-player games and easily distribute them on Facebook and across the web...

Well Played: Come2Play Releases Open Source Multi-Player API for Casual Gaming

July 16, 2008 - by Roi Carthy 

As the concept of the “social graph” began to gain focus and attention, a buzz around the notion of multi-player social games began to grow as well. How cool would it be to play a game of pong between two users of a social network, right? And yet most multi-player games are limited to Chess, Checkers, and Poker. It’s not that there’s a shortage of companies developing casual games—in fact, money is being poured into the space in truck loads. Yet the multi-player games we were teased about have failed to materialize so far. Don’t despair though because salvation is upon us and it comes in the form of Come2Play’s multi-player API.

In my initial review of Come2Play I dubbed them the “Ning of social gaming networks“. Today they are upping the ante by putting out an open source multi-player API aimed at allowing Flash game developers to create real multi-player games.

Come2Play: The Ning of Social Gaming Networks

July 16, 2008 - by Roi Carthy 

A few months ago in a Globes interview (Hebrew), I commented that Israeli startups may have missed the window of opportunity in casual gaming. Shortly thereafter the CEO of Kampyle told me that a sister company in Yossi Vardi’s portfolio called Come2Play is doing some interesting things in this space and I have to check it out. He was right!

Come2Play is the Ning of social gaming networks. Meaning that, unlike the new generation of gaming networks (SGN, Zynga, etc.) whose games are the formation of branded networks, Come2Play is a white label solution for anyone who wants to create their own gaming network. The true “Ning-ness” of Come2Play’s offering is its platform’s granular customization.
