As I mentioned in our previous post, we have always viewed iSpy as a global game (it is Real World Gaming after all...). We launched iSpy in the US to get the ball rolling while we worked on dialing in the system for international play, turns out the US iTunes App Store is available globally (oooops). Imagine the panic and excitement when we saw iSpy games popping up in 20+ countries on the first day!
Since launch, we have been working around the clock to improve the quality of international play. Today's exciting changes bring iSpy much closer to our goal of providing a seamless global experience.
Creating/Playing Games Internationally
While the interface might still be in English, iSpy games can now be created in any language. Localized versions are in the works, but don't let the English interface stop you from creating games in any language you'd like. We have already seen some great games popping up in other countries:
International Ranking
Our goal is to rank every iSpy player locally, regionally and nationally. For example, I am ranked in San Francisco (local), California (regional) and the US (national). When we first launched, this was only available to players in the US, but now everyone gets ranked. Unfortunately the level of granularity varies by location so some players may get all three, while others may only be ranked by country. Visit the Rank Page to see the community's rankings on a local, regional and national level. |
