据旧金山纪事报的消息,facebook社交游戏巨头zynga将正式进军android版手机游戏。

虽然zynga并没有明确对外公布任何一款基于android的手机游戏,但是从最近的招聘基于android的软件工程师趋势看,zynga确实在为android版游戏进行准备。其招聘启事称该职位需要具备基于iphone或者android的应用程序开发经验。

在或者google的战略投资后,zynga可能将更加注重手机平台游戏的研发。

自zynga的创始人兼首席执行官Mark Pincus在苹果全球开发者大会上宣布推出iphone版farmville游戏(该游戏目前在苹果免费应用当中排名第四是一位)以来,面向android的手机游戏开发将成为新的趋势。

Zynga, maker of the huge hit Facebook game “FarmVille,” is one of the latest studios to move into making games for Google Android.

The company has not formally announced any Android titles, but it is currently advertising for a “Software Engineer – Android” on its jobs site.

“The best candidates will have solid experience developing mobile applications utilizing for either iPhone or Android devices,” Zynga writes. “Facebook platform and scaling experience is a huge plus.”

“This candidate will be addressing critical issues on some of our biggest game titles, which have several million users across multiple social networks. You must be able to write coherent, organized code and be comfortable working on a complicated code-base with high levels of abstraction.”

The move comes as Zynga moves deeper into mobile platforms, and after Google invested in Zynga.

Zynga founder and CEO Mark Pincus presented the iPhone edition of FarmVille on stage at Apple’s WWDC conference this past summer. (It’s currently the no. 41 most popular free app.) And because Android is becoming very popular, it makes sense for Zynga to be there.

Zynga follows several big gaming studios into developing for Google’s Android platform. iPhone-heavy studio Ngmoco and gaming giant EA both recently announced Android plans.(source:sfgate)
