Earlier today at GDC Europe, which takes place before Gamescom this week in Germany, Google’s new game developer advocate Mark DeLoura and Chrome developer advocate Michael Mahemoff talked about Google’s major entry into the browser game space with its app store for Chrome. Set to launch this October, the store aims to make a proper marketplace for browser games — one that solves a lot of the issues of games on the web today, from discovery to monetization.
First, Mark discussed the benefits of Chrome for browser gaming (mainly its speed) and why developers should be excited about the app store, which you can watch in this video highlight below. After you see that we’ll walk you through the rest of their presentation.
After the intro about Chrome and why developers would want to create content for the app store, the two spoke about all of the exciting technologies that will aid developers in making browser-based games and the features of the app store itself.
