By launching the Facebook Mobile Games Publishing pilot program, the company is back to concentrating on the mobile ecosystem. This news follows a number of tweaks that it has made to the web version. So what is the project all about? Facebook has stated that it will now act as an intermediary for low and medium scale developers to promote their titles across the social network.
It plans to join forces with select developers who lack the necessary resources, and expose their games worldwide in exchange for a portion of the revenue earned in the process. However, there’s no mention of an accurate figure. The company intends to materialize its objective by adopting three simple steps.
The Facebook Mobile Games Publishing project will begin by ensuring that a title belonging to a particular genre is targeted at the right set of people so as to optimize its usage. And considering that the app is home to more than 800 million users, it should double as a platform to endorse a flurry of genres by such makers.
The guys over at Menlo Park have said that out of the sum total, there are approximately 260 million people who play games. This brings us to the next step which is all about boosting the user base for the software. And finally, the company is willing to share its analytical tools as well as technical knowhow with developers.
Let’s just say that the launch of the Mobile Games Publishing pilot program might just turn out to be a win-win situation for all, seeing as makers get their share of the limelight and users comes across fresh titles. Anyone interested in this offer can head to the SNS’ developers website and apple for the same.
