Suck My Trend - Zipline Games received additional funding today, but why are companies happy to throw so much money at this new Mobile Gaming company?
Developer and engine maker Zipline Games has secured new funding to build up Moai, its crossplatform framework that more high-profile developers are starting to use and pay attention to.
The small Seattle-based studio has added $750,000 in new financing to the $2 million it previously raised from local investors, according to SEC documents filed earlier this week.
Launched with a public beta exactly one year ago, the engine has attracted a growing number of developers looking for an alternative to HTML5 when building crossplatform games for smartphones, tablets, PCs, and browsers.
Gamasutra: Zipline Games, the studio behind the Lua-based Moai mobile game development platform, has appointed Shane Kim, formerly Microsoft Game Studios vice president and overseer on franchises such as Halo and Gears of War, to its board of directors.
