GameSalad Acquires Together Games, Bringing Cross-Platform Cloud Services and Multiplayer Functionality to Game Developers


SAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)--

GameSalad, a leading provider of mobile game development tools which powers more than 200,000 games including more than 80 top 100 hits, announced today that it has acquired Together Games, makers of The Together Platform, which provides developers with tools to simplify cross-platform game development. The acquisition will allow GameSalad developers, for the first time ever, to integrate cloud-based solutions in their games, enabling features such as asynchronous multiplayer, without the need for custom server installations or ongoing management.

"We have already helped thousands of developers create top games including three number one hits by making it fast and easy to develop sophisticated mobile games without the need to code," said Steve Felter, CEO, GameSalad. "Now, GameSalad is evolving into an end-to-end solution for not only creating games, but also managing them via the cloud. Multiplayer is the first step in that solution as we lay the foundation for additional cloud services."



"Together Games and GameSalad are philosophically aligned in the mission of making game development accessible to everyone," said Dustin Clingman, CEO, Together Games. "The Together Games team is very excited about the acquisition and the opportunity to see our platform used by hundreds of thousands of GameSalad developers."

The Together Platform gives GameSalad developers the tools to quickly and easily add new features like multiplayer that increase engagement and monetization, without worrying about deploying and maintaining server infrastructure. GameSalad Pro members currently have access to the Together Platform's multiplayer functionality through the nightly build version of GameSalad Creator. Additional features of the Together Platform including social network integration, push notifications, and cross-platform leaderboards and achievements, will be made available over the coming months.


GameSalad gives both aspiring and professional developers the tools to rapidly develop sophisticated cross platform mobile games. Since 2009, GameSalad developers have created over 200,000 games and more than 80 games have landed on the U.S. App Store's Top 100, including three number one games.
