OpenFeint Adds GameFeed to iOS and Android SDK as Sessions Per User Increase by 25% in 24 Beta Games
OpenFeint, the world’s largest mobile social gaming network with 115 million players, today announced the addition of GameFeed, a new free-to-play gaming feature, to its software development kit. Available immediately for both iOS and Android developers, GameFeed is a social gaming newsfeed that improves player engagement by elevating social activity from the OpenFeint network in games.
By adding the GameFeed plugin to their existing OpenFeint integrations, 24 beta participants increased sessions-per-user by an average of 25 percent. Some developers are experiencing growth as high as 60 percent. GameFeed improves this by engaging players with social information like updated player profiles and giving developers stronger player communication tools.
“OpenFeint is committed to delivering a next generation social network with features that will help free-to-play games improve lifetime value,” said Jason Citron, founder and CEO of OpenFeint. “Sessions per user is a key engagement component of lifetime value and GameFeed significantly increases engagement at no additional cost to developers.”
OpenFeint also announced that game developers Big Blue Bubble (makers of Burn the Rope), Get Set Games (makers of Mega Jump), PikPok (makers of the Flick Kick™ series) and Sibblingz (publishers of Island Tycoon) will integrate GameFeed.
“With over 16 million downloads of Mega Jump we’ve got tons of players who love to play games with each other. We’re excited to see GameFeed help build a more connected community of players,” says Derek van Vliet co-founder of Get Set Games.
GameFeed is part of the OpenFeint SDK and can be added with as few as four new lines of code. To learn more about GameFeed and how it improves game engagement, developers should visit http://openfeint.com/developers.
