Create a Flash multiplayer games portal in a minute with Come2Play

While I am still working on the WordPress plugin for MochiAds games (it’s not a vaporware, it’s going to be a revolution), I would like you to know somethinh interesting about Come2Play.

It’s a brand (and beta) new service allowing developers to quickly add multiplayer features to their games and publishers to create free multiplayer game channels or entire portals, like I made in five minutes with GameSalsa (it’s always good to have some empty domain names for future use…)

GameSalsa

If you look at the HTML source, you’ll notice that the “portal” is nothing more than an iframe.

But you can custom it in a lot of ways, such as styles, colors, rooms (you can use it to create specific rooms for your games, such as “novice players”, “Italy” and so on), external links, login/welcome boxes, and, obviously, ads management.

Come2Play has four different ways to display ads inside the iframe, and the split arrangement with web site owners is 50%-50%.

This means that they put all their band and resources and every two ads served, one is yours.

The interesting thing is all ads outside the iframe are yours… look at the picture:

GameSalsa

The ad inside game preloader is 50% mine, while the one outside the iframe is 100% mine.

As said, Come2Play also offers a multiplayer API for developers, but I did not test it yet… at the moment I am finetuning my multiplayer portal and I will show you the final results and a revenue report soon.

    Thousand of portals for the same games, that’s very useful.

    Hi Emanuel. I just wanted to add another cool feature of the offering :)

    Individual games can easily be taken by users to their favorite social networks with your branding and all of your advertising. The games include links that you can direct back to your site.
