Reality check?

1. Most games tech demos

2. Few built for HTML5 ground-up

3. Platforms, not games

State Benefits Future

Write once, run everywhere Same codebase

1.

1. Same codebase

• Browser to browser on desktop is fairly simple• Mobile needs more love• Performance. Bugs (especially Android). • UI needs a lot of work• Game design harder than the programming

70% Back-end40% Front

’Everyone’ can play(at least everyone with a modern browser)

2. ‘Everyone’ can play

• Big thing for social games• little effect to single player or HC games

Wow, that game looks great but I

’Game as a link’3.

‘Game as a Link’ Distribution

NonStop Games Cloud

Revolutionary distribution model with no waterfalls

Pin your favorite Game/Drawing and create a link to game

Users stay inside Flipboard while playing (Safari window)

Any place on desktop/mobile where you can share a linkAny Social Network

Play the game inside the twitter app from friends’ tweets

It’s not Flash (=it’s ”open”)4.

4. It’s Open

Game always up-to-date5.

5. Games always up-to-date

• Social games are frequently updated• Makes A/B testing much easier

Not dependent on App Stores6.

…ButYou also lose the biggest benefits of app stores

(If you don’t wrap it into native)
