Digital Distribution and Deployment Just Got Better for Everyone from MMO Publishers to Indie Game Studios
The leading company focused on the digital deployment of software and online games Solid State Network has announced its own platform “DIRECT” to have a 3.5 vesion. “DIRECT” manages the critical processes involved in digital distribution that includes Downloads, Installs, Versions, Patches, Launches, and Repairs. So it makes all these processes faster for you’re PC.
“Deployment really is the pain point that almost all game development studios and publishers run into,” said Rick Buonincontri, CEO of Solid State Networks, Inc. “The requirements are constantly changing and without a dedicated team, it’s very challenging to stay current. We find that developers of all sizes think they can handle the challenge alone, but we often get a call very late in the process as the reality of developing, shipping and deploying games becomes a reality.”
“We’ve been working on and improving DIRECT for more than seven years and it’s consistently acknowledged as the best solution for online game and software deployment,” said Steve Tucker, Senior Technical Director of Solid State Networks, Inc. “We’re seeing more companies contact us earlier in the development process so they can have the last mile ready to go before the game is finished. It removes a lot of the crunch time stress of taking a game live.”
“DIRECT 3.5” Features
- Native support for Mac OS – Making it easier to deploy to Mac with the similar publishing tools.
- Real-time analytics (Beta) – Helps to identify deployment issues, such as system networks and user errors due to real-time event feeds (Remember it’s still a beta).
- App Manager (Beta) – It provides a new way for development studios to easily take control of the distributions and accesses to builds and environments. Also streamlines the QA and internal testing process, and reduces potentials for user errors. (Also at beta form)
So for future online games that game developers and publishers make with the “DIRECT” 3.5 will make sure that these games will definitely run much smoother, and reduces the possibility of your PC to crash.
