The game feed is live!

Posted by ben 30 Aug 2010 | 0 comments

As part of the upgrades and new stuff I've been doing I introduced a great way for portals to find quality games without any of the garbage other feeds are full of. It's a week late but it's now live with over 100 high quality games available right now in the game catalog.

Publishers can construct their own version of the feed with a stack of great options that let you filter the feed to make sure you get the categories you want, the languages you want and more on the feed page.

As part of this move to open up Playtomic as a distribution platform there's also the Game Charts which is a list of hot games based on a rating determined from actual player data - a measure of how fun the games are.

The charts can also broadcast that you have sitelocks available on FGL - just enter your FGL gameid on the games' setting page and your game will be a part of this big pile of sexy.

Because of all the great games and the data coming through Playtomic I'm in the unique position where I can provide a definitive, trusted feed for publishers along with an amazing way to find awesome games to buy licenses for. Hopefully this will all result in more plays and more nonexclusive-licenses for all of us.

Is your game missing from the feed?

It's because you didn't bother uploading it so go into your games' setting page, upload the files and enter the information and you will go on the feed.

Why does it use the Playtomic url on the feed?

Because you haven't entered your URL in your account settings and your game URL in the game settings.

Does the feed work with ARCADE_SCRIPT?

Maybe. There are compatibility modes for both MochiMedia and FlashGameDistribution feeds that should make it as simple as changing the URL you download the games from but your best course of action is to ask the maker of your script to integrate it.
