Samsung Bada Partners With Social Gaming Startup 'Scoreloop'
The latest mobile operating system from Samsung called 'Bada' has partnered with Social Gaming SDK provider Scoreloop.
Scoreloop will provide the SDK to its network of over 3,000 developers.Source: <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2010/10/11/scoreloop-brings-social-gaming-sdk-to-samsungs-bada-platform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Scoreloop Brings Social Gaming SDK To Samsung's Bada Platform • TechCrunch</a>
The native Scoreloop bada SDK will allow developers to integrate with social networks like MySpace and Facebook, include engaging features like online leaderboards, cross promotions and player challenges, and monetize through in-game currency purchases. Scoreloop will also include a games discovery app on Samsung bada devices that will feature games built off of the social gaming platform.
Considering that Bada is not nearly as large of a platform for developers as Android and iOS platforms, Scoreloop’s deal probably won’t bring in a flux of new developers and games. But Scoreloop’s CEO Marc Gumpinger tells me the partnership could turn into much more for the startup. Gumpinger says the company is working on moving into the connected television world, and will soon allow developers to create customized apps for web-connected TVs, including Samsung devices. An existing relationship with Samsung, says Gumpinger, will certainly help the company reach this goal.
