Make Social Games with PlayGen

    LONDON, ENGLAND, June 28, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Social Games, like them or not, are here to stay and whilst a few of the major players are reaping the greatest rewards of moving early in this market, there is still plenty of scope for creating new and interesting games.

PlayGen's take on social games is to go far beyond Facebook. As a successful games and simulations company since 2001, PlayGen has worked with a cross section of sectors on subjects diverse and far reaching, and rather than focusing on technology, PlayGen focuses on Play.

Play is the perfect medium to engage: if done right, the rewards are far greater than any other means of participation. Social gaming companies such as PlayGen have the capability to add play to the digital sphere, make social games interfaces that transform everyday online experiences and bring new layers of fun to the beloved web.

PlayGen's social gaming ideology can be found here, but it goes a lot deeper than that. Making social games is about intimately understanding the key aspects of social exchange and drawing on these to create reward, status, achievements, self expression and competition.

Whilst social media is about connections, relationships and being able to find and add other people, promote circles of connection and focus on publicizing relationships.

Social Games on the other hand take the building blocks of social media and add a whole new engaging dimension of competition, cooperation and group activities.
