Gideros Innovation Features !!!

It's 2013, the golden age of mobile app - where a trash app could give you a lot of money - has passed.

Everyday, hundreds apps/games are published and people have more choice what app to downloads, what game to play.

With Gideros we all can make games as we wish. However with 2D games, I see a lot of games similar to my games (even my ideas), and of course most of them have better graphics and more features. We all feel tiny against these large companies and studios who making games is a serious business.

Now, to stand out of the crowd, to make our games better, different from other competitors, we need something innovate and unique.

In my opinion, I feel exciting with social gameplay features, where you can play with your family and friends. I wonder if Gideros can support more about these features.

It's great if you guys could give your idea about this topic. Thank you

@thanhquan1512 sure, can you explain more what exactly do you have in mind?

Asynchronous / Synchronous multiplayer?
Gideros Cloud (like CSDK Cloud)?

Do you mean that?

@thanquan1512 - we all "stand on the shoulders of giants" and I'm sure your games and your ideas are "inspired by" others as well, I wouldn't sweat it, just concentrate on #MakeABetterGame and be the most (constructive) critical opponent of your game - always ask yourself "how can I make this better" and "does this improve the game" and test every idea and concept against these questions.

@ar2rsawseen if it's social, then i suggest first we have facebook sdk too on Android. And then to show Gideros power we can give example use case on social mechanic, which we can see on curent games. Like in Subway Surfer, we can compete high score with our facebook friends

But, if Gideros team asked me, i think documentation (like updated plugins howto) and Gideros website (for promotion) should have priority aside of feature development.

@all: Thank you.
@ar2rsawseen, @Nascode: Yes, it's facebook SDK. For example yesterday I played Candy Crush, every level I can compare with my friend scores to know who is the best, every progress I know who has been beaten. IMHO, I find it interesting, and it improve game replay value (to get better score). Among million games nowadays, continuing playing a game is an priceless value.

I know facebook games has growth several years ago, so maybe my idea is outdated. However, I think not many social MOBILE games out there.

Do you know Circle, a new social network which can find nearby friends. It's also an idea in my mind. Is it interesting to know that the guy nearby is playing/ have fun with the game which I am playing.
