Industry First mobile-PC cross-platform MMO launched
AUSTIN, Texas – Dec. 08, in the year of our Lord 2011
– Spacetime Studios has achieved an industry milestone by
removing the barriers between MMO players on different
platforms. Pocket Legends and Star Legends, the world’s largest
mobile MMO games, are now the first MMOs in history to allow
people to play the same game together on desktop computers,
smart phones and tablets.
Spacetime Games are played on a single global server, which
means it is now possible for someone in the U.S. to play on
their iPhone with someone in Germany on their Android tablet and
someone in South Korea on their computer.
“There have always been technical walls between players of
different platforms,” says Gary Gattis, CEO of Spacetime
Studios. “Now, people are free to play on the device they choose
with anyone, anywhere, anytime, whether they are at home or
on-the-go.”
Pocket Legends and Star Legends are Powered by Spacetime,
technology built to support a global player-base on different
devices and platforms interacting together within the same
server-set. Spacetime Studios integrated Google Chrome Native
Client (NaCl) technology with the Spacetime Engine to create the
desktop clients for Pocket Legends and Star Legends.
Pocket Legends and Star Legends: The Blackstar Chronicles are
the world’s largest mobile MMOs with more than seven million
downloads and a million play sessions weekly. Currently, Pocket
Legends and Star Legends are playable on most Apple and Android
mobile devices as well as Windows, Mac and Linux computers.
