As we meet with client’s the hardest thing for them to wrap their arms around is that on the web, your business is instantly global. “Awesome, bring it on.” “Yeah, so, no big deal.” These are some of the common answers we hear from client’s. It is then we sit them down and using their enthusiasm or lack thereof, we coach them on doing business in a global economy. It’s not always easy with i18n (shorthand for internationalization) and l10n (shorthand for localization) and social networking and web 2.0 and e-commerce.
Now imagine adding mobile customers to the mix. That is exactly the challenge David Kainer of The Dojo experienced. Provide his customers a gaming platform globally that easily works for all mobile devices and Linux, Mac and Windows computers (<=computer download link, start playing today) based customers. He also added in multi-player real-time , and to top it all off…it is all FREE.
Techlife sat down with David, who from his Sydney office, works with the London office to learn about The Dojo. How? Why? How hard? It’s all in there, and we even cover why he chose Google’s Android first over Apple’s iPhone.
Techlife: What is The Dojo?
David Kainer: The Dojo is a global platform for uniting game players in interactive gaming, irrespective of platform. It’s aim is to provide great multi-player experiences on mobile and online and really begin to blur the boundaries between the two. Best of all – it’s free.
