The video game developers conference GDC 2014 started today to bring succulent news. Regarding Android, Google has officially announced a few changes that are on the way to Google Play Games.
Among the different features that Google Play Games will receive, we can find the possibility of sending gifts to other players from the same application. Officially named “in-game gifts,” the option grants the ability to send certain in-game items to other players. Apart from this novelty we will have the opportunity to be able to carry out multiplayer games across different platforms and the reorganization of the categories of the games in Google Play adding 18 new ones.
We have already talked at length about the different fronts that Google has right now as far as Android is concerned. We already know the great importance of photography seen in its Google+ social network or how it added optical image stabilization in the Nexus 5.
18 new categories in Google Play Games
Games on Android is another of its main premises since last year, and at GDC 2014 it announced the appearance of gifts within games, 18 new categories and the integration of multiplayer games through iOS and Android. Which will mean that you can create games for play with friends who have an iPhone from your Android. Without a doubt, a great incentive for Google Play Games to take on another color.
And another important addition that you can already check from Google Play itself on the web or from the Play Store on your Android are the 18 new categories: Action, Adventure, Racing, Cards, Casino, Casual, Family Cinema, Sports, Educational, Strategy, Live Wallpaper, Trivia Games, Monthly Games, Role Playing, Music, Words, Puzzle, Game Room, Simulation and Widgets.
As you can see a great list that includes all the games that we can find in the Play Store and that from now on it will help you to find selected games of a certain genre.
