[Google Play Games] Xbox LIVE-Style Social Gaming comes to Android!

While it was leaked days prior, Google made their official announcement that the new Google Services update would come fully packed with Google's own massively social gaming medium (which, BTW, is far more ambitious than iOS GameCenter).
Looks like developers were notified of this well beforehand because there were many instances during the Google I/O Conference where game updates including all this were happening!
So far, the games I know of that make use of Google Play Games are:
• 5 tiles
• A2Z
• RPG Avabel Online
• Ball Maze
• Beach Buggy Blitz
• Chip Chain
• Circulo
• Cosmic Defense
• Eternity Warriors 2
• Eufloria
• eyelord
• Farm Invasion USA
• gunslugs
• GRave Defense HD
• hungry slims
• Ice World Labirynth
• kingdom rush
• mega run
• memory temple
• Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour
• No gravity
• numbers plus games
• Osmos
• PBA bowling challenge
• Plague inc.
• plasma sky
• riptide GP
• rocket island
• save the puppies
• shine runner
• stick stunt biker 2
• super stickman golf 2
• townsmen
• triple town
• Unblock 2 escape
• war of wizards
• Wind-up Knight
• World of Goo
• Zookeeper Battle
EDIT: Impressions video!
I'm one of those weird people who actually enjoy a little trophy/achievement hunting every now and then.... so you can only imagine how infuriating it's been trying to find something stable that fits this desire. One thing I do like about my old 4th gen iDevice is that this was established early, and done really nicely with GameCenter. It's the best mobile form of social network-oriented gaming with achievements, friends and such.
On Android, there's no equivalent... so what happens on Android when no one source will step out and make something dominant? Clones, and loads of clones... none of which work with a lot of games. Swarm is useless, OpenFeint hasn't worked "right" since January, no one gives two damns about HeyZap... and this new GREE thing (OpenFeint v2) is the buggiest, most unstable, most resource-hogging, battery destroying trainwreck yet.
Now there definitely has been talk that Google wants to create an Android equivalent to Apple's GameCenter; but even with that rumor in the grapevine, introducing a new standard is no easy task (especially this late in the game). It means hell for developers, and means they have to go through the trouble of updating their stuff just to keep up with the shiny new thing... but I also see an opportunity here to breathe life into Google+.
What would you guys think of Google Plus simply getting an update that integrates Achievements/Gamerscores? It already has friends, circles, and some very nice forms of communication that are mostly ignored due to it's current "backseat to Facebook" status.

Yes that is a modded/blurred-out version of my G+ profile, and I really did get up at 2am to put this together... because I had a dream about this that seemed so awesome (in my head, anyway) that I had to break out my (sub-par at best) photo editing skills to make a concept art
What you think? Good idea, or some **** I'll think is crazy once I've actually got decent rest?
Is there even a place I could submit such an idea to someone at Google that's important enough to get things done?

I think that will be mad but it has to have offline achievements too. I love achievements and i would restart levels trying to get all of them on halo on my 360.

I'd hope they nailed a offline achievements system too, Sony pulled that off really well with PSVita and PS3 so that we can get achievements without a constant connection, but the smartphone alternatives don't seem to have taken that extra step.

I really love the idea but I think its only practical if its something Google takes up and becomes very serious about. The second people figure out how to hack things like achievements then the whole thing becomes null and void. I'm a huge shmup fan and couldn't wait to challenge the leaderboards in R-Type but there's so much hacking that the top ten is filled with maxed out scores. Btw, I'm the #3 Trizeal player in the U.S. and if anyone wants a link to the online leaderboards just ask

Have you guys not heard of open feint?

Not trying to sound like a smartass or anything, but this was covered in the first post.
Of course we know about OpenFeint... we also know it's been busted for over half a year, and got to be even more busted when they *upgraded* to GREE.

I really don't want to use Google+, but an achievements and games tracker community kinda thing would be cool.
I have a lot of games on Steam and I use it so much, that if I were to record my daily usage of Steam, even the worst basement dwelling WoW gamer would be shocked on the total hours.
So here's something; Steam achievements integration in Android/iOS games. The community is already there. Or buy games from Steam on Android and iOS! Even tho I don't know how that'd work because we already have Google Play and App Store

HOLY ****! Did Google listen to me? Their gaming service leaked, and it's suspcisiously familiar to EVERYTHING I hypothesized (even down to the Google+ integration).

Google just realized how awesome it sounded and needed to spend money....end result. Kidding, however its borderline creepy how much of an exact match it is to your idea, you should post them a link to your ideas and ask them to pay you royalties..... less time for xperiaplaygamer.net, and more time for hookers and nose candy. Lol....... okay back on topic.

I posted the apk in Android Apps and Games earlier if anyone wants it . But not much use till games utilise the service .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275125

yeah, saw the article this morning.. if it is introduced, Google needs to know how to implement it properly, and give us gingerbread users some love. we'll know whats happening over the course of the next few weeks, at Google's I/O.

Google Play games service was officially shown off today and already loads of games just got updated with support for Google games service integration like examples MC4 and Riptide
MC4 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftM4HM
Riptide - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vectorunit.blue
@TLRtheory It maybe a good idea to update the OP in this thread to include info on this as people are seaming to be talking about this Google service thing here (Not to mention your idea way back when was so close). If want to keep it how it is let me know and will create a new Google Games service thread Thanks

Too bad there are no enemies, might've bought it then.

Si1ver Shad0w there are enemies and the XP support is coming very soon - I just released the update with 90% of the extras in - including upgradeable weapons, multiple secondary weapons, realtime lighting FX, online highscores and a new UI. Just about to send out beta copies of the XP version and then all going well you should have it on the store by the weekend!

Guys,
Don't get into a argument over this - its not worth it
poo-tang - thanks for defending my app I really appreciate it.
CyberScopes, if £0.69 / $0.99 is too much then I guess I might as well give up now - I don't offer a free version because ad revenue is almost non existant due to 99% of android owners either running Lucky Patcher or knowing how to alter their hosts files - in doing so my revenue stream is zero'd out. So I decided to make this game 'Asteroid 2012' a paid only app - I set the price as low as is feasibly possible and so far in the year that I have been developing it - I have failed to recover the costs of the licenses for the Unity Engine and the Android / iOS outputs and the updates I have paid for to get Unity4 when released - let alone various other items that have gone into it.
If you are really desperate to play it for free - well a quick google will lead you to various places around the web that have older versions that don't contain the latest updates.
And in doing so you would be assigning the future development of this game to 'junk' status...
** Crap, didn't see the post on the second page... but I'll leave this here anyway

Ah yes, didn't notice them in the video, the asteroids are so big
Pretty neat game, though I doubt I'll buy it since I already have Galaxy on Fire.
Anyhow, good luck with the future developments! =)
Also didn't know about LuckyPatcher, that kinda sux for developers. I myself use Adfree, but only for the annoying ads on webpages (the screen size is already small enough without having to pollute it with ads), I don't mind having ads in apps as they help support the devs.

He wants ppl to send feedback.
The app is paid.
I'm a tester, not a used imho.

Check this post out. It will show you what code to place in the XML and then only have to copy the icon into the correct res folders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16784453&postcount=2 OR easy way =
Code for AndroidManifest.xml place code between these =
</activity>
<meta-data android:name="xperiaplayoptimized_content" android:resource="@drawable/icon" />
</application>
then copy the icons here =
Go to the drawable folder and copy the app icon, then go to the drawable-hdpi and paste the app icon renaming it icon.png, paste the image once more this time renaming it launchericon.png…. Paste a further copy of icon.png in both drawable-ldpi and drawable-mdpi

Also if you contact Sony they will place you app in the advertised Xperia Play Games section in this launcher too.

For some reason, i really like it when games show up on the xperia play games launcher.

JPN Only - Kemco Games that I wish were in ENG......

I know these are in JPN only but still these look awesome and I would love to see Kemco release these. I have email Kemco regaring each game asking if they plan to release in ENG. If anyone is interested please email them at the address below:

lol, I predicted that Infinite Dynamis would be on your list.
All the Kemco fanatics are looking forward to that. I still need to get into Knight of the Earthends!

I emailed them about 15 minutes ago and this was their response, from a live person not a computer zombie. (well maybe..lol) Kemco is always so dang fast replying, always in minutes never days or hours even.
My email to them:
Hello,
I am a huge fan of your current games that are optimized for the Xperia PLAY. Just to name a few:
Eve of the Genesis
Aeon Avenger
Symphony of Eternity
Dark Gate
I am aware that Symphony of the Origin will be released soon in English but was wondering if you could tell me if there are any other games currently in development that will be seeing a release in English and or any older Kemco games that will see a translation from Japanese to English? I look forward to your future projects and do sincerely hope that you continue to support the Xperia PLAY. Thank you for your time.
Kemco Reply:
Dear customer,
This is KEMCO_GAMES customer support.
Thank you very much for your great support.
Unfortunately, we cannot say anything about future releases, but if you
want to be notified about future news, we have a Facebook page where you
can stay tuned by liking the page.

Description
The next installment in the smash hit JRPG series, Alphadia II, is finally here! It’s time to unleash your energi once again and enjoy an immersive experience in a new and exciting world honed to perfection with a massive graphical overhaul, richly developed characters, and a streamlined battle system!
Alphadia II takes players on an unforgettable adventure 200 years after the events of the first Alphadia. Though after seemingly being lost to the inhabitants of the world, energi once again makes its appearance, and before long begins to drive opposing powers into an all out scramble to take control of this ever diminishing resource.
****
Those new to this exciting series can check out and also purchase the original Alphadia at the linked address below! 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kemco.execreate.alphadia
****
For troubleshooting, please contact us at [email protected]. While we may not be able to provide direct responses to individual users, know we will work our hardest to rectify any reported program issues.
Energi… the source of power interconnected with all living things.
In times of old, the human race erected a great civilization that thrived on the use of this power. However, some two centuries earlier, an incident known as the Energi Crisis erupted and led to the planet's energi being sealed away. As a result, people lost the mysterious powers they were once capable of harnessing.
The story now picks up with the protagonist, Leon, who has been assigned to his first solo mission by the Energi Guild. And there within his mind echo the words of the guildmistress when she stated: "Energi is the hidden power within each individual. It is the power of the heart and mind, and when purposefully sought, its true potential is unleashed."
■Nostalgia at its best! It’s like old-school meets new-school with perfect harmony!
Sporting a colorful and gorgeously detailed 2D battle system, individual break skills, elementals that combine to create more powerful energi skills, and even an auto-battle function, Alphadia II comes equipped with everything fans of traditional JRPGs could expect and caters to both the hardcore and casual gamer alike!
■Energi is the key!
Energi is derived from one of six unique elementals and has the power to not only grow, but lead players to the acquisition of new and more powerful energi skills. These energi skills then, in turn, play an integral role in attack, recovery, and even support. Furthermore, once two separate elementals have reached a certain level, they can be combined to create even more powerful energi skills!
■Can you handle it?!
Aside from a voluminous story, Alphadia II offers a new "Mission" system in which players are able to accept missions from the guild in order to receive valuable coins. These coins can then be exchanged for powerful equipment and other hard-to-get items later on. In addition to the main story and missions is a wealth of subquests, making this title truly the whole package. In fact, after finishing the game, there may be still much more to do than one might think!

Other then my brief lapse of faith I am sure that there will be other games from Kemco with XP support. Both Alphadia's, and Grinsi (I think thats how its spelled) are the onyl games from them not XP optimzed. So I would be surprised if this was the begining of the end.

I'm sure this isn't the end.
Alphadia, as well as a few others - are simply published by Kemco with different teams behind them. The previous Alphadia wasn't optimized for Xperia Play at all and this one seems to use the same game engine - so it's not really surprising.

Just noticed this today. I bought the Knight of the Earthends when it was released and noticed today that now there is a version for Xperia devices....... looks like we get som additonal stuff thats not in the regular versions.
ORiginal, version I own:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...a#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwia2VtY28ud3dzLnZnYSJd
Xperia Only Version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwia2VtY28ud3dzLnZnYS54cGVyaWEiXQ..
Edit: It now appears there is a special mode that can be unlocked where you can battle of Xperia users via our character in this game. Interesting........... Dont know if its online or simply local bluetooth/wifi.

I couldn't find any information regarding an online battle system; it appears they just added a new difficulty exclusive to Xperia devices but please link if you know anything more about the online mode.
Thanks for pointing this out btw, I've never tried a Kemco game, I have lost the will to play JRPGs (have tried playing Chrono Cross, Star Ocean: Second Story, FFIX, FFX, Grandia 2, etc. this year and haven't enjoyed any of them) but somehow I'm finding this game to be a lot of fun. First of all, it is ugly as sin and the scrolling effect when moving from one area of the screen to the next actually hurts my eyes. The story and characters are awful IMO. Beyond that, this game gets everything else right. Each character works very differently while still being completely customizable. The battles are quick and fun. The dungeons are designed well. The game has so far (only played for about two hours) been wonderfully linear and the map and quest-log systems make sure that I'm not endlessly searching for the next destination. Great find, completely worth 99 cents!

I thought I read it from Kemcos Facebook page. When I have a minute I'll see if I can find it and post it here

kk, thanks. Would be awesome if it was included but if so it's strange that they have completely hidden any information on it within the game itself.

"The old man turned cautiously. The door creaked. A little bit of snow broke in through old, leaky windows. Fire in the fireplace flickered vigorously. Such a blizzard haven’t been seen here for ages. Younger ones probably won’t find it unusual. Just a severe winter. But the elders remember. It’s not just an unpleasant weather.
There is something in the air. It’s an omen of things that cannot be told. A presage so terrifying that is not even passed down from generation to generation. A horror always starts the same way. Nobody wants to remember that they have come out of the Owl Mountains. It’s not that far away from here.
The old man turned his gaze back to the fading glow of the fireplace. He wiped his sweaty forehead. Maybe it really is just a blizzard? After all, there are no Vortghali anymore, they have been defeated a long time ago."

​
Welcome to Game of Quests – a game and an activity tracking app which will both entertain and help you to develop.
First GOQ universe is a world of dwarfs, humans, elfs and other mystery beings. Select your race and start leveling in three classes: boost up your strength and stamina as a warrior (completing fitness quests), work on intelligence and skills as a mage (quests based on culture) or socialize and help to protect the environment as a druid (social, ecological and relationship quests). And remember, a true champion pretends to be the best in EVERY possible way.
Play together with your friends. Track their progress, challenge them, win and be the best.
We want GOQ to base on RPG-like character development with leveling and equipment. We’ve created a special currency called "milestones” which you can earn by completing special quests and spend on weapons, armours or robes available in the shop.
You can level up in all of three classes independently. We have already created running quests for warrior, culture based check-in quests for mage and ecological, cycling quests for druid, so you can start your journey just right now! Download our beta from Google Play and visit our site: www.gameofquests.com
Creating an avatar is the most important thing at Game of Quests. Adventure starts here. Select a race (human, elf, dwarf), sex and skin. Customize it and wait no longer to start the game.
To help you get motivated, we’ve created quests based on location. Run, ride a bike or check-in at different places to gain experience points and milestones (the currency of Valia).*
Like in a geniune RPG game, a character is developed by gaining experience from accomplished quests. There are 3 independent classes available – a mage, a druid, or a warrior, switchable at any moment.
Milestones are the virtual currency used in GOQ. It can be earned by accomplishing special quests and spent on some breathtaking equipment which will both improve your progress and make your avatar look awesome
GOQ is a community-oriented project. Invite your friends and track their progress and new friendships. Compete or collaborate with them to be even mightier.
Not sure whether to switch from your favourite activity tracker to Game of Quests? Why not to stick with both! After each running or cycling session GOQ allows you to export detalied data in standardized GPX format which is compatible with other popular services like Endomondo.
We strongly believe that only real actions should matter and that fair play is crucial for healthy competition. Game of Quests features an anti-cheating system.
All your check-ins, running and cycling sessions are stored in your record book. Check it out to know which class is your strongest one and which needs to be developed.
Our main goal is to implement a story into the game. We would like to make your actions matter and guide you through the fantasy world of Game of Quests, a place full of colorful heroes and memorable adventures.
Programming, dancing, cooking... Would you like your favourite activities to become genuine GOQ quests? Let us know! We would love to continuously expand the list of available quests being driven by your invoice.
Fantasy is not your taste? We are glad to announce that as soon as we release a final version of Game of Quests*(ETA July 2015), we will start working on another universa of your choice.
Good stories are never predictable. Imagine unexpected events, climatic side quests or even meeting an NPC. All this to keep you motivated and make sure you do your best.
In most RPG games you have to form a fellowship. We will give you a chance to do so in our app as well.
We are working on ranks & leaderboards, so you could be the champion among all of your friends.
We are planning to serve our adrenaline maniacs with to so called duels - real-time 1 vs 1 competition opportunities. Challenge your friends or strangers, win and be the best!
Expansion to iOS and Windows Phone is a natural way of progress. Additionally, we will create a desktop version featuring access to detailed statistics, settings, quest history and much, much more!
Just like you, we don’t like cheaters. Your real actions is what should matter. That’s why we want to provide you with a better, even more reliable anti-cheating system which would efficiently verify every quest.
Stability is a key for the joy to come. A part of donations will also be spent on improving the capabilities of our infrastructure and latest security standards.
Integration with other apps and devices is our last but not least goal we want to achieve. Do you feel bounded with your favourite activity-tracking app? Do you have a great tracking device? We want to integrate GOQ with most popular apps/devices, so that you can still develop your virtual character with us!

Is it possible to have more advanced voice messages during the quest, for example, messages about the distance covered every kilometer or mile?

will there be a feature to add some bonus to weapons or armours I'm buying? F.e. some exp bonus or something?

When changing from the main screen to the quests selection screen, app crashed. It happened once, but happened.

Did you use a car to run maybe?
We have an anti-cheat system that prevents such actions.
Don't forget to help us on Indiegogo, so we can develop more features.

Really? You should have warned
And maybe you should add a feature that will explain why it counted only a part of distance (f.e. because you can't run that fast).
I will spread the news about your campaign.

I think the running quests were the hardest to implement, because of all GPS related stuff.

Thank you for your post! It is under development, we are working hard on this game, you could send email to us about your ideas, feature request, experiences and issues! It is based on the FreeCiv but it is MMO and it is designed to mobile; the rule set is continuously evolving based on the players feedback.
Blog posts, forum topics, wiki and more: https :// portal.gacivs.info

Well... My first offer is: I think you should really change "Offered By: Golden Age of Civilizations" in Google Play There should be your name, not the game.

Oh, we will establish a company with the name of the game soon, so that every registration and domain name based on the prospective company name...

Do you want me to translate for you this game description for Google Play into Russian? (for free)

This game is a great idea!
I understand it’s still in development, so I have few suggestions:
- I think the basic development of the cities is too slow. We hit times like 1 day or more only to build the 1st building. It would be more motivating if we could do the basic buildings in few hours.
- On the other hand, for the research, it’s a bit weird that we can discover new knowledge instantly as long as we have science points. I understand that the time to gather these points = time to discover this knowledge, but it makes the evolution the civilization a bit weird: Nothing happened during decades (because the player didn’t take care of his science points) and then, the civilization go under a major science breakthrough discovering the wheel, horseback riding and iron working at the same time (because the player noticed he had a huge amount of science point to spend).
- The unit movement needs more fluidity
Keep the good work !

Making unit movement more fluid will make the animation slower; as I know it terrible irritates the users
I like the unit movement animation, when are shown the phantom of the unit path. Alas, it's not the task for the free indie game, I suppose

We will improve it but we are focusing a features instead of the sparkling GUI.
And we've started a new server at the moment, you can join us!

I love this kind of games, so I will give it a shot :good:

You can request new features or suggest modifications to existing features on forum of our portal (portal.gacivs.info)!

UI improvement
I understand, that you are focusing on features, but you really should spend some time in an apealing UI. This is really necessary because many users will look just 1 time at your app and in this moment, they have to be caught by a nice design.
The images don't have to be "the best drawing images of all time", but they have to be similar with all other assets used in the game and share one design. They have to build up a whole thing together. For now, your UI and the Game-World are seperated thigns, they don't look like one thing.

You are right but it is a hobby project and we have no time to do all task at once.

We've just finished a border drawing feature! It is a huge first step toward the complex territory based actions, like see everything inside border, bound resources of the cities must be on an owned tile and military units of a nation at peace with the territory owner are not allowed.

Waiting for final version
Its an awesome game. As i downloaded i was skeptic of the game play as the name suggested it must be something like Ages of Empire kind of thing. But beta version proved to be a huge fun.
I even recommended to my mates & but still waiting for their feedback. So just waiting for the final version now. I hope its better than it sounds, cuz market is saturated with this genre games. So thank you developing team and I hope you guys have mega success with this game.
