DarkBasic

Hull, UK / UK based games software publisher, The Game Creators encourage independent games developers the world over to create and self-publish games for platforms like the Intel App Store using their accessible game creation software, DarkBasic Professional and DarkGDK.

With user-friendly game creation software, DarkBasic Professional and flagship game development package, DarkGDK, The Game Creators provide the necessary tools and support for the growing ranks of games development enthusiasts to create quality content with a reach in the millions. Intel's new digital platform, AppUp Store, bundled with millions of Intel powered Netbooks, is being projected to rival the magnetism of Apple's App Store, and will enable creators to accelerate brand recognition and monetise their own games.

Independent gamers can also publish their original creations through The Game Creators pipeline - perfect for those new to Intel's submission process. The Game Creators bring an unrivalled experience in the development of sticky games on multiple platforms, from testing and building a robust application, to marketing the product effectively. This paternal support will inspire new entrants to games development with the confidence to achieve success.

The Game Creators have already created 9 titles for Intel's AppUp store, with 5 of them, including the retro football simulation, Goals and highly addictive, Tilted Video Poker – itself a product of The Game Creator's passionate community – being selected for 'Dollars for Downloads 2010' and 'Fast Track 2010' under the Intel Atom Developer Program Million Dollar Development Fund.

A compilation of The Game Creator's 10 best iPhone applications is available from the Apple App Store for the princely sum of $0,99. The compilation includes the infectious physics based iDork Lite, brain stretching DropSum – enjoyed by over 7.5 million PC users worldwide – and the kamikaze finger-stabbing, iDare Deluxe.

The Game Creator's boast downloads of their applications on the iPhone that stretch well into the millions, but their easy to use game making tools - DarkBasic Professional and DarkGDK – make it possible for everyone to create, play and share.
