How Zynga Is Transforming Games With HTML5 – Page 2

On app stores and ecosystem – Does Zynga have plans for an app store?

I can’t disclose any plans that we have at this point for the future. But, I definitely think it is the right time build really cool solutions to serve apps on the Web. Like the Chrome Web store. Mozilla has its own Web store now. I am excited about those services. At the same time there are ways to bundle apps for the native app source. You can have solutions like PhoneGap or appMobi to really put your HTML5 game, the same code that runs on the browser, and put it into native platform and serve it in the App Store and such.

I think that there is ways that you can serve both at the same time so that is super helpful. As you’re aware probably, Facebook itself is kind of like an app platform and has been a really awesome ecosystem for us. I don’t see it as critical as many HTML5 engineers out there.

Facebook said at f8 last that it has no plans on an “app repository.”

How Zynga Is Transforming Games With HTML5

Social gaming platform Zynga takes a lot of flak for its overbearing management practices and obsession with metrics over user experience. While those rumors may or may not be true, there is more to Zynga than calculating sessions lengths and daily average users. In fact, Zynga’s Germany branch is one of the global leaders in HTML5 development and creating dynamic mobile Web games. We chatted with Zynga Germany CTO Paul Bakaus about how Zynga approaches HTML5, what are the limitations of the spec and if we will ever see a Facebook app store.

Zynga has a variety of open source HTML5 projects in GitHub along with several new HTML5 game releases, including Words With Friends and Zynga Poker Mobile Web. As many Web-based game developers will tell you, those are not easy to create. See below for our interview with Bakaus and what Zynga is doing to move the HTML5 spec and ecosystem forward.

The market for HTML5 gaming

Jan10
2012 Leave a Comment Written by Sophie.Y

I am convinced that 2012 will be an enormous year for HTML5 gaming on mobile phones.
So much so that I am staking a fair bit on it. Not least the creation of my own game development studio.

But like every startup I need to do my homework and right now there are some fairly obvious questions to be answered.

Just how big IS the HTML5 gaming market ?

… and how big can I expect it to be in 12 months, 2 years, 5 years …

When I first asked these questions I drew a blank. It occurred to me that I just don’t have those kinds of figures. Sure I have some contacts that could help me but I really need some broader statistics not just the figures of a handful of portal operators – as big as they may be.
The right place to start is of course the sales figures for mobile smartphones over the last couple of years. I need to get a snapshot of today’s market size and an idea for its growth over recent years.
