As many of you know, Player.IO is a new company raised up by the Nonoba group.

They provide a very useful tool for developer that makes possible to create multiplayer games without having a VPS or a dedicated server.
Client side will have to be built, of course, with ActionScript3, though server side uses C# which is actually not that difficult to use.
In the account created we will just upload the Game DLL of the server side, not the SWF.

It won the weekly contest of $500 and the Monthly Contest of $2.500, generating 160.000 users in 2 weeks. The game was made in about 2 hours, which means I worked for 1.500/hour, pretty good no? The other game is Bombators Multiplayer, a remake of Atomic Bomberman in Multiplayer with the chance to play with 4 players in real-time. It got the front page of the most important game websites as Newgrounds and Minijuegos This is a video of the game.
 
This game won the weekly competition of $500 and its on the first place for the monthly competition of July. But the amazing thing is that in the first 3 days it has generated 70.000 hits and 7.000 new subscribers thanks to the game. This game was made in about a week. The weirdest thing is that any company contacted me yet to create games for them… I think they haven’t seen it yet… [...] Click here to read more...
