READING, England, February 8 /PRNewswire/ --
- Handsets Running the Industry's 1st Portable Native Games Solution
Antix announced today that it has an agreement with Motorola to provide
the Antix Game Player client for Motorola devices leveraging UIQ technology
- the MOTO Z8 and MOTO Z10. The extremely compact player will initially be
available to consumers as a simple download; from later this year consumers
will be able to get the player already embedded inside the device.
The Antix Game Player has been designed specifically to make
content written in C and C++ portable across different platforms. The vast
majority of games on all modern games consoles are written in C and C++ but
the lack of portability of the code has ensured that they have not been
successful in the fragmented mobile market. The Antix Game Player uses
innovative techniques to resolve the fragmentation problem and ensures that
portability does not compromise performance. As a result, a game written to
run on the Antix Game Player will run as efficiently on an Antix-enabled
device as if it had been specifically targeted to run only on that device.
This in turn allows publishers and developers to now target a range of
handsets without having to be concerned about excessive porting,
certification and signing costs.
Francis Charig, Chief Executive of Antix Labs, comments, "We
have been determined to meet consumers' expectations in mobile while
simultaneously creating the development and financial environments required
to attract the industry's leading publishers and developers. These have been
neglected concerns for far too long and we believe Antix will be a catalyst
to help the mobile game industry flourish."
Developer kits will be available from Antix to registered
Antix developers. A full certification and signing system is part of the
overall Antix service and only content that has been certified and signed
will work on the service. Developers can register at
http://antixlabs.com/developers .
Handsets are being shown at the Antix stand (AV24) at Mobile
World Congress in Barcelona, 11th-14th February, running exciting games from
leading publishers.
