GAMESPARKS’ CLOUD SERVICES helps devs support communities around their mobile games. The firm’s tech can introduce leaderboards, Xbox-style achievements, and a range of competitive and co-operative multiplayer mechanics. Plus, freemium tools such as virtual currencies and goods enable devs to monetise their games. GameSparks also offers the use of back-end cloud code that lets studios create custom logic that doesn’t require servers to run. This can be changed on the fly and updates automatically, rather than releasing new versions through app stores.

In fact, Simultronics claims customers have been able to launch games in less than 15 months. Hundreds of developers use HeroEngine – the tech was even used to power BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic.
