Google’s Online Games Platform - Lively
Google's Lively
In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Kevin Hanna, who’s the creative director of Google Lively, mentioned that they’re planning to use the game’s architecture as an online games platform for developers, akin to current platforms such as Metaplace and Multiverse.
The technology would allow indie developers to create virtual worlds, MMOs and online games more efficiently with Lively’s existing tools and infrastructure. This is yet another testament to how Google is permeating almost every aspect of the internet, and in this particular case, which is supporting the indie online gaming community by providing developers with Lively’s open API, I welcome it. We’ll be getting to see more innovation and fresh ideas from the underground.
