日前，Mochi Media公司宣布了其创立的开发商基金会第一轮资助对象名单，《Planetary Conflict》、《Toxers》、《Feed the King》以及即将发行的《Snow Fort》，将首先获得由Mochia Media提供的游戏开发和发行支持，Mochia Media将面向近4万个网站推广这些游戏。

据游戏邦了解，这个开发商基金会成立于今年3月，创立资金达1000万美元，主要服务对象是Flash、社交游戏开发商，目前已向世界20多家不同开发商投入40万美元，还为他们提供来自snda games（Mochi Media的母公司）的技术、设计、测试资源等服务。

该基金会的总经理Justin Wong表示，基金会目前正处于快速发展时期，但仍然是一个处于初级阶段的在线游戏开发团体。

Mochi Media本身主要运营社交游戏业务，为开发商提供创建社交功能的技术支持，比如好友列表、礼品赠送、游戏通告等内置功能。该公司的社交工具为游戏开发提供了更多选择，可以统一游戏在不同社交网站、平台的功能。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Mochi Media unveils first fruits of its $10 million strong developer fund

Having launched its developer fund – designed to sponsor both the development and release of Flash and social based titles – back in March, Mochi Media has lifted the lid on its first four beneficiaries.

The $10 million strong fund has so far invested $400,000 in 20 different developers around the globe, handing them additional access to technical, design and testing resourses from with Mochi Media’s parent company Shada Games.

Round one

The games can also tap into both development and distribution tools Mochia Media has to hand, with the first four games – Planetary Conflict, Toxers, Feed the King and the soon to be released Snow Fort – able to be targeted almost 40,000 websites in the process.

“This initial group of games that we’re launching today is just the start of a multi-year wave of games created by developers that may not have had a chance without the support of this fund,” said GM of the development fund, Justin Wong.

“The fund is a shot in the arm to the growing, but still nascent, online game development community.”

Mochi Media itself is in the social gaming business, providing the tools for studios to implement social features – friends lists, gift sending, in game notifications, etc – in their titles.

The idea is that Mochi’s social tools transcend the game’s platform of choice, linking up titles across different social networks and formats. （source:pocketgamer）
