Google Announces Google Play Game Services for Android and iOS

Google has announced the launch of Google Play Game Services to bring achievements, leaderboards, multiplayer, cloud game saving, and more to Android and iOS devices.

With game services, you can incorporate:
● Achievements that increase engagement and promote different styles of play.
● Social and public leaderboards that seamlessly use Google+ circles to track high scores across friends and across the world.
● Cloud saves that provide a simple and streamlined storage API to store game saves and settings. Now players never have to replay Level 1 again.
● Real-time multiplayer for easy addition of cooperative or competitive game play on Android devices. Using G+ Circles a game can have up to 4 simultaneous friends or auto-matched players in a game session together with support for additional players coming soon.

Google Play game services are available today through an SDK for Android, and a native iOS SDK for IPhone and iPad games. Web and other platform developers will also find corresponding REST APIs, with libraries for JavaScript, Java, Python, Go, Dart, PHP, and more.


Developers can get started with the new games services at the link below...
