The Business of Games — HTML and the Future of Mobile | Albert LAI
Using HTML5, savvy developers are able to create games that are indistinguishable from native apps. In fact, the advantages of HTML5 over native code are clear: developers can release games to more platforms, create a better experience for their players and avoid the third-party dependencies. Big Viking has used HTML5 to create immersive mid-core games who gameplay is identical to rival native apps. Albert will share how Big Viking Games uses ubiquitous gameplay and how a single codebase across multiple devices, real time updates and native-app like performance is all possible with HTML5. Furthermore, we'll talk about what the future holds for HTML5 games and what business and technical barriers need to be overcome for HTML5 to become more attractive platform to build on.
