It sounds like Google is going to take on multiplayer gaming in a big way. They’re developing a plug-in gaming service that handles every common multiplayer feature gamers have come to expect. Developers’ lives should get a whole lot easier, and multiplayer gaming on Android should get a whole lot better.
Certain code for features like notifications, in-game chat, achievement tracking, pre-game chat rooms, community leaderboards, and multiplayer options were found inside of the sea of programming code for the Google Play Services suite. It is thought that this code was included in the Glass app on accident. Adding a game center for Android would allow multiplayer support which people have been looking forward to for a little while now, as it would allow for real-time gaming and turn-based gaming. It could also lead to in-game chat.
Google’s I/O developer conference is next month and Google may reveal what they have been trying to keep a secret all this time.
