Come2Play Now Features A Multiplayer API
October 20th, 2008 - by InsideSocialGames
One of the largest pitfalls of most social games is that the game play does not normally contain a true multiplayer aspect. Sure, you can compete with others in asynchronous turns, collect badges, and unlock achievements as bragging rights, but the games in which you can play with others synchronously are limited to games like Chess or Poker.
Part of the reason multiplayer games are not seen very often in the social space is the overall difficulty involved in hosting and building multiplayer infrastructure. This is where Come2Play comes to the rescue.

Video games have long struck me as a perfect platform for open-source development. Unfortunately, many gamers agreed, and the courts are littered with copyright lawsuits over the years when developers tried to extend their favorite games.
Now Come2Play has made building and extending games and open-source affair: safe, legal, and fun. No, Come2Play won't let developers hack the games of Electronic Arts, Activision, etc. But it will allow them to create fun multi-player games and easily distribute them on Facebook and across the web...

Come2Play: The Ning of Social Gaming Networks
July 16, 2008 - by Roi Carthy
A few months ago in a Globes interview (Hebrew), I commented that Israeli startups may have missed the window of opportunity in casual gaming. Shortly thereafter the CEO of Kampyle told me that a sister company in Yossi Vardi’s portfolio called Come2Play is doing some interesting things in this space and I have to check it out. He was right!
Come2Play is the Ning of social gaming networks. Meaning that, unlike the new generation of gaming networks (SGN, Zynga, etc.) whose games are the formation of branded networks, Come2Play is a white label solution for anyone who wants to create their own gaming network. The true “Ning-ness” of Come2Play’s offering is its platform’s granular customization.
