20. ngGoBuilder!
• Game Engine
– library and tools are not separable
– data driven (separation of logic and data)
– abstracts the details common game-related tasks
– game makers can focus on the details that make
their games unique
– ngCore has abstracted the platform side
– but we have not addressed the rest of that
statement

21. How can we be better?
• Focus on 2D games
• Full end to end solution

– online module update
• integrating ngServer
– No other game engine for mobile has a full
server infrastructure solution!
• Platform independent
– QtScript (JavaScript)
– Mac + Windows
• Completely improved UI
