With the success of Facebook’s gaming platform, the company has announced Facebook Mobile Games Publishing specifically for small and medium-sized developers.
The pilot program will try to help developers promote their games across Facebook’s mobile apps. More than 260 million people play games on FB, and the program will try to match users with new games based on a gamer’s particular interests.
Developers share revenue with Facebook and will be given analytics tools to gauge the success of their games. Facebook is currently working with ten developers from around the world, with games including:
- 5th Planet’s RPG card battle game, Dawn of the Dragons
- Brainbow’s puzzle-packed adventure game, Dr. Newton: The Great Brain Adventure
- Certain Affinity’s pirate-themed strategy game, Age of Booty: Tactics
- Dragonplay’s social poker game, Live Hold’Em
- Gameloft’s medieval strategy/simulation game, Kingdoms & Lords
- Gamevil’s city building simulation game Train City
- KiwiGames’Â quest-based exploration game, Shipwrecked
- Outplay Entertainment’s explore-and-battle fantasy game, Monster Legacy
- Space Ape’s multiplayer combat strategy game, Samurai Siege
- WeMade Entertainment’s endless-running game WINDrunner
