Free Friday: $50,000 Social Game Engine For Free…

Hey folks,

Many new indie/experimental game developers are succeeding with Social Games. We’ve convinced a group to help out indies and give out their Social Game Engine for any indie to use. They normally charge $50,000 to license the engine, but all indies can have it for free.

You can use it to make your own Flash Social MMO on Facebook or any other place on the web. Use it with the Free Social Game Development book released a while back to make your own successful game and live the game developer dream…

In the next few days, there will be a series of articles on how to use the engine…in the meantime, feel free to post any questions about the technical details here…we’ll see if we can find an answer to them 🙂

The Social Game Engine uses Flash for the front end and Google App Engine for the backend.

You can download the Social Game Engine here…

Keep in mind that this is an exclusive to the listeners/followers of the show…thanks again for your support and hope you find it useful…enjoy 🙂

Transitioning from Free Artwork to “Free Fridays”…

Hey folks,

To provide more usefulness to experimental game developers out there, we started giving out one piece of new artwork every couple of days. After some weeks of doing this, we realize that the posts get in the way of the core mission of the show…helping experimental game developers…so we’re stopping the feature.

In it’s place, we’re having an open call for artists out there…if you want to give away a few items in exchange for a plug for your art services, add a comment to this post. We’re looking to showcase a new artist every Friday.

Thanks 🙂
