Project details

Game engine: proprietary / delphi

This game was programmed in Delphi, but since Kalydo works with any game technology, putting it in the Kalydo framework was no problem. The game supports dynamic window resizing, making it easy to embed it in a website, but also providing gamers a fullscreen play option.

The game was converted by Kalydo, making minor code changes to the source code and re-packaging the content for streaming. Kalydo supported Gameforge with integrating the game in their existing community website, including Single Sign On and compatibility with their system architecture.

To finalize the project Kalydo trained the Gameforge and Entwell staff to use the Kalydo workflow for updating and releasing games.

Customer experience

“The Kalydo technology puts a whole MMORPG into your browser window without the need to install a large client first. There’s no difference in gaming experience or quality. We expect many more people to play our game because it is now only a few clicks away.”  Daniel Werner – Product Director Gameforge
