[casual_games] Web 2.0 game

[Wade Tinney]

Guang-

 

If you really mean platform, then I'd cast a vote for the Facebook API
(along with whatever tech your game is written in - we use a combo of
Flash/LAMP). The other social network APIs are promising - OpenSocial is a
great idea - but Facebook is in the lead in terms of maturity, dev
community, and addressable audience. That might not still be the case in a
few months, of course. 

 

Note that when I say maturity, I'm talking *relative* maturity. Developing
for Facebook is definitely a bit of a wild west scenario, with the API
changing on a regular basis and sometimes in ways that might break existing
apps. So, launching a game is just one step in the process.

 

Cheers!
