GameGadget Make SDK Available for Download
Doncaster, UK - March 8th, in the year of our Lord 2012
-- In advance of the official worldwide release of the first
GameGadget console the SDK (Software Development Kit) is now
available for download at
www.gamegadget.net.
GameGadget offers gamers, game developers and game publishers,
unrivaled choice and flexibility in how they play, create and
sell games. Described as the “iPod for Games” GameGadget is the
first games console to be developed in the UK since the heyday
of Spectrum and Amstrad over 20 years ago.
The release of the SDK will allow professional and amateur
developer the opportunity to create new content and import
existing games for GameGadget in a safe and secure development
environment on the device itself. Once the game has been fully
tested within the “open source” mode of the console. developers
are then free to submit their content to the GameGadget for
download via the GameGadget marketplace. Pricing is set by the
developer and, should they wish, content can even be given away
for free.
Jason Cooper - creator of GameGadget commented - “After two
years in development we are very excited to see new content and
licensed games being developed for GameGadget.”
The GameGadget Application, the gaming equivalent of iTunes,
allows for games to be downloaded directly onto the GameGadget
via a secure DRM (Digital Rights Management) system. Operating
on a revenue share basis, developers of content receive revenue
for every game that is downloaded.
