Browsergames Platform POPMOG joins the G.A.M.E. Association

    BERLIN, GERMANY, November 17, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The new and innovative browsergames platform POPMOG ("Popular Multiplayer Online Games") today announced its entry into G.A.M.E. - the German Association of Game Developers. POPMOG was founded in Berlin in 2009 and supports game developers in optimizing their online games, gaining reach and traffic as well. To archieve this, the "Developer Zone" has recently been launched, which supports the communication between game developers and with POPMOG as a platform on http://www.popmog.com. The Developer Zone for example provides an extensive documentation about POPMOG's deep APIs as, communication tools and the possibility to collaborate on various developer projects.

"We decided to join G.A.M.E. right from the beginning as it is clearly one of the leading forces in the German online games market," says Alexander Piutti, CEO of POPMOG-operator GameGenetics. "An association which is well organized and fosters the interests of its members is important to us. I'm convinced that by joining G.A.M.E. we can not only broaden our professional network, but we are also excited to contribute to the growing game developer scene."

The Managing Director of G.A.M.E., Dr. Malte Behrmann, adds: "G.A.M.E. today is more than just the sum of its members. It is also the platform for the German online games industry - which today showcases successfully great games on a global level. The more companies from Germany join us - the more we can increase our political and international significance. Therefore it has been important for us, that POPMOG is willing to join our association."

The browsergames platform POPMOG (http://www.popmog.com) focuses on critical community functionality, which the player can use in all POPMOG games. POPMOG also offers classic fame and honor functionality, like badges and achievements for example. Additionally, there are Honor Points to be won by certain activities in the games and on the platform. These Honor Points cannot only be traded for certain upgrades in the games, but also for real prices later on (as iPods, etc.). All gamer-specific info can be integrated into a personalized gamer card, which later on can be exported to social networks (e.g. Facebook, MySpace) or signatures in boards for example.

About POPMOG:
POPMOG ("Popular Multiplayer Online Games") was started in 2009 in Berlin/Germany by GameGenetics-founders Alexander Piutti, Mark Gazecki, Michael Keller and Börge Franck as the first independent publishing platform for browser-based games. Independent means in this context, that GameGenetics does not develop games itself, but instead integrates popular browser-based games from independent partner developers on the POPMOG portal and for POPMOG cooperation partners. The portal http://www.popmog.com consists of a unique package of gaming features, containing attractive games, community functionality and services for game developers. POPMOG does not want to reinvent the wheel, instead uses established services like Facebook as a basis. POPMOG for example allows the registration of new players, using "Facebook Connect" and "Open ID". Registration and invitations of friends are very simple.
