SGN launches MasterKey cross-platform development tool

MasterKey is part of SGN’s larger plan to streamline its process for developing cross-platform games for mobile devices and social networks. Co-founder and CEO Chris DeWolfe says it was instrumental in the development of games like Panda Jam and Bingo Blingo, reducing game conversion time by as much as 80 percent.

At the moment, MasterKey is only being used internally at SGN, but the group is planning to make the technology available for the third-party developers it’s working with to publish games through its own network.

Michael Ritter, SVP of Business Development, can’t give us a date for this roll-out, saying that the technology is currently being used only with two other partners.
