Seoul, Korea, October 14, 2011 ― SK Planet today announced that T Store will launch Game Center based on open APIs
on October 17 to support the development of mobile network games and provide easy to use gaming experience.
 
T Store Game Center will open APIs for developers to add real-time leaderboards and ‘recommend and invite NateOn friends
and smarphone contacts’ features to offer a wide variety of attractive mobile network games including social and multiplayer
game. Developers can receive additional guide, tutorials and tech support from T Store Developer Center and Open Innovation
Center.
 
Gamers will also benefit from the Game Center as they can enjoy realistic interactive network games, both in one-on-one and
multiplayer mode, that are embedded with functions offered by Game Center such as friends invitation, real-time leaderboards
and play status. Moreover, gamers will enjoy greater convenience as they can invite or recommend a game to anyone on their
smart phone and NateOn account contact lists, a feature provided by no other social games platform.
 
Starting with the release of Nexon Mobile’s KartRider Rush (racing game) on the launch day of Game Center, October 17,
five more mobile games in different genres will be introduced on T Store for five consecutive weeks, as part of its ongoing
release of a wide variety of mobile games.
 
“Our goal with T Store Game Center is to create win-win partnerships with developers by providing them with tools and support
to speed innovation and create an environment where individual developer or small teams can easily push new products,
thereby facilitating the growth of the social games market,” said Lee Han-sang, SK Planet’s Head of M-Service Business Division.
“And thanks to the launch of 4G LTE network, a major upgrade to mobile high-speed data service, our service is expected to meet the
needs of mobile phone users by allowing them to play games with nearly the same quality as over their home networks.”
