Supercat (CEO Kim Young-eul) announced on the 22nd that it would support cross-play between the mobile app and the PC web by updating its indie game platform PUNKLAND.
Punk Land is an indie game platform where anyone can develop and enjoy games. Easy and fast game release and one-stop monetization are possible through a simple revenue settlement function. Server and database, which are essential tools for game development, are provided free of charge to support indie game developers actively, and ‘Punkland Studio,’ a game development engine provided by Punkland, is characterized by its excellent accessibility as it enables easy game development without coding.
Crossplay is a feature that allows users to enjoy games anywhere, regardless of device, such as mobile or PC. With this update, Punkland users who enjoy games that support crossplay can continue playing games on the PC web and the mobile app.
Developers operating or planning to release games on Punk Land can use the cross-play feature to update the same content to all platforms. This is expected to help activate the platform by strengthening access to Punk Land and expanding the user pool.
Other game platforms other than Punk Land are also supporting cross-play. However, a separate client program is downloaded and executed for this purpose, which is cumbersome. On the other hand, Punk Land does not require a complicated download and installation process because it runs directly in the web environment.
Ha Young-min, team leader of Punk Land, said, “As a measure to provide users with a more enjoyable and comfortable gameplay environment, we have updated to support cross-play.” The function to change to a cross-playable version has been distributed and is getting a good response.”
Meanwhile, ‘Nekoland,’ which was released in 2018, announced an official renewal on January 26th and was reborn as ‘Punkland,’ an indie game platform that grows with creators. So far, about 4,700 creators have released more than 100,000 games through ‘Punkland,’ it has been praised for its unique indie sensibility, game quality, and user-friendly operation; it has recorded 550,000 cumulative downloads on Google Play.
