Broadway Cafe uses the Facebook Connect technology delivered by Facecook, to connect to the world’s largest social network – Facebook. Connect is specifically designed for the integration of Facebook and external applications.
By utilising this technology, the player is able to hire their Facebook friends and use them as staff in their iPhone game (from Stage 9).
But choosing any old friend may not be the wisest choice! Those friends who have played and reached a higher level, can run faster etc will be the best assistants for your cafe. So find a friend who has played Broadway Cafe for a a bit or find someone who has an iPhone, get them to buy Broadway Cafe and play hard together.
If you invite friends via the Facebook Broadway Cafe you will receive VIP points to use in your iPhone game to help you along with running speed etc.
If you can seem to find that friend with the right stats your looking for, why not head to the ranking page on Facebook Broadway Cafe and seek out one of the higher ranking players. Send one of them a friend request and work together, they’re good at running a cafe! There’s a discussion board available too on the about page where you can search for friends. Why not give it a try.
This kind of game design will, we expect, cause players to invite friends and increase sales. This is a major component of Facebook and social applications which result in viral marketing.
Below is a quick report on our results:
By looking at a great little app called AppRankings, we’re able to see the world ranking charts for each country of any particular application.
This is a particular ranking on a certain day. We’re doing okay!
Take a look at the data from Thailand. The graph rises and dips, even though we’ve done done no promotion in Thailand. By examining server data we can see an increase in Thai users, this being a direct result of friends inviting each other on Facebook. This increase in players via Facebook is occurring all over the world in social apps.
Until now there have been games where you could invite your friends but they didn’t participate actively in the game and the invite systems were a pain in the proverbial. Using Facebook Connect not even an email address is required, it’s just a single easy click. If you want to find out what your friend is playing or doing, all you have to do is look at their wall to get an idea. It really feels as though you are actually playing together.This functionality we call at Istpika, viral technology.
By using viral technology and a mixing it in the game design, the game gets a lot more interesting and inviting friends from all over the world gets easy. Resulting ultimately in increased sales!
At Istpika these are the kind of titles we plan to continue to release!
