Laddar...Annons frÃ¥n Laddar...Annons frÃ¥n Epic ska öppna upp Fortnites plattform för andra spelutvecklare
Bjussar på sin plattform gratis
Epic Games har publicerat ett inlägg med titeln "Epic 2019 Cross-Platform Online Services Roadmap" där man snackar lite mer om sina framtida planer för den plattform man byggt upp till sitt spel Fortnite.Med start nästa år kommer Epic att att låta andra utvecklare av multiplayer-spel använda den plattform som Epic utvecklat till Fortnite gratis. Man skriver: "At Epic, our goal is to help game developers succeed. Throughout 2019, we’ll be launching a large set of cross-platform game services originally built for Fortnite, and battle-tested with 200,000,000 players across 7 platforms. These services will be free for all developers, and will be open to all engines, all platforms, and all stores. As a developer, you’re free to choose mix-and-match solutions from Epic and others as you wish." Det innebär rent konkret att andra utvecklare kan använda Epics plattform när de utvecklar sina spel och får då automatiskt stöd för inloggning via Facebook, Google, Xbox Live, PSN, Nintendo, Epic-konton samt med stöd för länkning till Twitch-konton. Det hela rullar på Amazons molnplattform AWS och ska följa Europas GDPR-lagar.Ni hittar de nya tjänsterna som Epic släpper gratis nästa år i faktarutan nedan.
