GameSalad and appbackr Team Up to Provide a Calibrated Incentive Program to Bring Apps to Tizen Operating System
- appbackr will provide quality scoring of apps to leading maker of mobile game creation
“GameSalad and appbackr together are helping to reset the value proposition for independent developers looking to bring their apps to new platforms by providing calibrated incentives for the best apps. Intel is proud to support this bold initiative and in turn, to help bring great developers and apps to Tizen,” said Christopher Croteau, Tizen Association board member and managing director, Software and Services Group at Intel.
The program, based on the proprietary appbackr® appscore™, helps GameSalad identify and target the highest quality apps within its network for various incentives to port games to Tizen. Incentives are built directly within GameSalad’s development environment and vary from undisclosed monetary sums to free GameSalad Professional Licenses. The appscore includes editorial reviews, community-driven reaction, and other factors built into a machine-learning algorithm.
“GameSalad democratizes the way games are made and brought to market with its code-free technology and toolset. With appbackr appscore we use predictive analytics to discover the best apps. There is no better place to find great apps than at GameSalad. We are very pleased to integrate our appscore API to give the best developers the attention and rewards that they deserve,” said Trevor Cornwell, Founder and CEO, appbackr inc.
“GameSalad has innovated the way compelling games are created and published. appbackr appscore allows GameSalad developers to get rewarded for their exceptional work,” said Steve Felter, CEO, GameSalad, Inc. “Through our collaboration with appbackr, we provide an extremely efficient way of making sure that the best apps receive the technical tools, financial incentives and opportunities to be ported over to the Tizen operating system and get featured on the upcoming Tizen store, ensuring our developers’ games get discovered by consumers.”
