Google I/O is like heaven for developers. Just today at the opening keynote, Google introduced Google Play game services, a set of services that aims to make games more social, with achievements, leaderboards, and multiplayer, as well as more powerful, storing game saves and settings in the cloud. Google says that Google Play game services will be a core part of building a gaming platform for the next generation of games.
They will be available on both Android and iOS as SDKs. Developers on other platforms and on the web can also use Google's corresponding REST APIs, with libraries for JavaScript, Java, Python, Go, Dart, PHP, and more. "By building on Google’s strengths in mobile and cloud services, you can focus on what you’re good at as game developers: creating great gaming experiences for your users," Google said.
