Imagine playing from your iPhone against anyone with an Android phone. That epic battle between Mac and PC types will be a more common option if an Austin startup is successful.
Digital Harmony Games says it will be the first time to allow different smartphone (or tablet) platforms to play a lot of games together in real time. Though there are currently a few games that allow platform-crossed players to partake, it’s still not a common option.
While Pong may seem, ahem, a tad outdated, that’s the demo the company has put together to show how it can link players across platforms.
“People always ask, ‘What are you most scared of?’ ” CEO Jeff Lujan told the Austin Statesmen. “To me, we’ve got to get into the market.”
The startup, which currently has six full-time employees and three part-timers and is recruiting more, was recently accepted into the Austin Technology Incubator, a nonprofit division of the University of Texas.
They hope to release the first cross-platform game by early 2012 and license cross-platform tech to other companies.
