BURLINGAME, CA -- 11/05/09 --
Aurora Feint Inc., developer of the most
popular social gaming platform and network for the iPhone, announced
OpenFeint Gold, a recognition program for the developers of extraordinarily
high quality games that use OpenFeint. OpenFeint Gold titles will be
extensively promoted by Aurora Feint Inc. on openfeint.com, on the
openfeint dashboard in other games and on partner websites.
"I am personally very excited to bring this program to our game development
community," said Jason Citron, Founder and CEO, of Aurora Feint. "When we
launched Aurora Feint: The Beginning, on July 11 last year, I was delighted
to get recognition from all over including game of the year on the iPhone
and this is our way of recognizing other incredible quality games."
OpenFeint provides a complete social gaming experience for iPhone games
with leaderboards, achievements, profiles, social discovery of content,
friending, invites, facebook connect integration with photo import and
status updates, twitter integration and social challenges and
notifications. Adding OpenFeint to a title has been endorsed by the
development community as a "30-minute" exercise, at no cost to developers
and no server operations. Almost 300 titles are live in the AppStore with
more than 700 games in development using OpenFeint, including megahits like
Pocket God, Digital Chocolate's RollerCoaster Rush and Stick Wars.
"Subatomic Studios is proud to have Fieldrunners recognized as the very
first OpenFeint Gold title. Since our launch, we have worked hard to create
extra content for the iPhone and bring the game to many other platforms,
including the PSP and DSi. We are excited to be once again refreshing the
iPhone-hit with more platform-specific features and content. The new and
improved Fieldrunners marches onto App Stores worldwide this holiday
season," said Ash Monif, COO Subatomic Studios.
OpenFeint Pricing and Availability
OpenFeint 2.3 is available immediately for download at www.openfeint.com.
OpenFeint continues to drive the industry towards frictionless adoption of
social gaming on the iPhone with its Open and Free business model compared
to closed platforms that require revenue shares and smaller social gaming
"feature" oriented software services without the breadth of a true
platform.
