Features

This is a brief description of the features already in AGON. The technical details are available in the API documentation.
Edit Profile

Persistent Profiles

Profiles are stored and shared across all AGON enabled games. This means that the player will automatically see his or her friends and profile within your game. Registration is handled gracefully within the AGON framework and profiles are remembered across games. Multiple password protected profiles are allowed for each device. We respect if the player prefers to stay offline and not share his or her high scores and awards online.

Friends

As with the profile we manage friends within the AGON framework. We currently enable the player to add friends from Facebook as well as directly from the iPhone contacts.

Online High Scores

When integrating with the AGON framework your game will be able to submit high scores to the servers. All submitted high scores are geotagged and leaderboards are instantly available for the entire world, country, state / county, and at a city level. This is competition – redefined.

Awards

We also let you define a set of awards for your game, which the player will then be able to unlock within your game. Awards may be used to unlock new game modes or simply to reward the player for completing parts of your game. There is a certain satisfaction in unlocking awards that will add significantly to the replayability and longevity of your game – highly recommended!

Cloud Storage

AGON enables your game to provide profile persistence even if the user deletes your game temporarily or plays your game across multiple devices. Your game is allowed to store 5KB of data on our servers per profile per game. This feature enables a very smooth gaming experience for your users at no additional cost to you. If your game requires more storage you can contact us at developer@agon-online.com
Facebook Award

Cross Promotion

When a new high score is set or an award is unlocked, there will be an event on the cross-games wall of the player. The player is also able to brag about his accomplishments on Facebook – with Twitter integration coming soon! Your game will be promoted not only on the player’s wall, but also outside of the AGON Online ecosystem! Get maximum exposure for your game!

Easy Integration

Integrating AGON into your game is very easy and can be done in a few hours! If you need assistance do not hesitate to write or call us.

Features to Come

The above features are all available for you to start using today! That is not stopping us, though. We are working 24/7 to get more features and new experiences into AGON. Your feedback will be a guide for our future direction. That’s right – we’re eager to hear from you! What do you need in AGON?

Value

Highscores
The value of AGON Online is exists on two levels; not only does AGON bring value to you as a game developer, it also brings value to the people playing your game.

Game Developers

We have built this system for you, so you can focus on making great games and forget about maintaining server side code, forgotten passwords etc.

This is what you get:

  • Online, geotagged high scores (tamper proof, of course!)
    • Including Google Maps integration
  • Awards (aka Achievements)
  • Player profiles, shared across all games
  • Friends list (with Facebook integration)
  • Cross promotion of your game – in other games and on Facebook!
  • Online / offline management
  • Scalable server infrastructure

Best of all: it is very easy to integrate into your game!

Players

The game itself will also become more valuable for the players as they are able to:

  • Compete with their friends for high scores and awards
  • See what other AGON enabled games their friends are playing (and buy them on the App Store!)
  • Have new modes of play due to awards (for instance; survive for 3 minutes without shooting)

Added value for the players is also added value for you as your game will become more valuable!

Value for Money?

You bet! AGON is free for both game developers and players!
