Fatfoogoo to Offer Micropayment Software for Project Darkstar
Monetizing Software Services now available to Thousands of Game Developers in Sun Sponsored CommunityVienna/London/San Francisco, 11th September 2008 - Fatfoogoo, the leading provider of in-game commerce ecosystems, today announced that it will enable integration of its microtransaction software with Project Darkstar, an open source development environment created by Sun Microsystems Laboratories, that caters to the online games, virtual worlds and social networking industries. In a first step, fatfoogoo’s monetizing software services, such as virtual item trading, sub-scription management and in-game economic control, are now available to thou-sands of developers in the Project Darkstar Community.
Fatfoogoo is the first company to offer commercial billing and transaction soft-ware that is explicitly designed to work with Project Darkstar technology. Project Darkstar simplifies the development of online games that take full advantage of today’s multi-core processors to deliver a new generation of scalability. Pairing fatfoogoo with Project Darsktar opens these games and virtual worlds to real money transactions, by enabling developers to leverage fatfoogoo’s secure and easy-to-use micropayments for in-game transactions.
“The work that fatfoogoo is doing to extend the reach of Project Darkstar exem-plifies and underscores the value of open source communities,” said Karl Haberl, Director of the Project Darkstar research initiative at Sun Microsys-tems. “Fatfoogoo has openly shared their expertise with others, enriching the Project Darkstar Community with their code contributions, interactions with game developers, and now with commercial software offerings. We are very pleased with the positive results of fatfoogoo’s Community participation, including the new opportunities they have presented to developers of online games, virtual worlds, and social networking applications.”
“We are bringing microtransactions first to the publishers and developers and, as a result, to the gaming community,” said fatfoogoo CEO, Martin Herdina. “Imple-menting micropayments into a game is a complex process that needs close at-tention. We make it easy for game developers to integrate our services into their games, so they can focus on their core competence. The real beneficiaries, how-ever, are the gamers who can now easily make small and secure payments within the flow of the game.”
