Posted on Digital Download Game World is an interview with Eros Resmini, VP Marketing & Developer Relations of OpenFeint.
OpenFeint is a Social Gaming Platform API that many independent iPhone game developers are using to integrate their games into a unified community. Complete with features like leaderboards, friends, messaging, and achievements, OpenFeint has established itself as a standard feature that many iPhone gamers look for when considering game purchases from the Apple AppStore.
OpenFeint is also seeing tremendous success thanks to its latest project, Free Game of the Day. OpenFeint users have access to a free full version OpenFeint community game every day. A huge add value for an already free application.
The interview reveals some behind the scene information about the company and also mentions the launch of the new OpenFeint X developer platform.
Growth driven by digital software and console hardware sales.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
OpenFeint have around 1800 applications in the development pipe. That's a crazy amount of points I could have. I think I am just at 957 points so far (friend me up - Poxxer).
The OpenFeint app is great for finding the free app everday. It just takes forever for the free app page to load on my iPhone. Hopefully they can do something about that.
