Get a Free PlayBook!

The PlayBook is an exciting and powerful new tablet coming from BlackBerry.
Take a look. Submit your game to BlackBerry by March 31st and receive a free Playbook. See here for more details.

In addition to the free PlayBook from BlackBerry, FGL is sweetening the deal even further. We'll give you a $50 incentive bonus for your first approved game, and $100 for each additional approved game. This offer is available to the first 150 games. March 31st is coming soon, it's important to get started now!

Can I sell my games?
Yes, the PlayBook will feature a full app store with a 70/30 revenue split.

Can my games run on the PlayBook?
If they're in AS3, then yes, they probably can. This is the first tablet that's been designed from the ground up to run AIR applications! There are currently two ways to make apps for the PlayBook: AIR apps, and WebWorks (an HTML-based API). So RIM has worked closely with Adobe, and the performance shows it.

We haven't gotten our hands on a PlayBook yet, but the hardware specs are also a good sign: 1ghz dual-core CPU, a gig of RAM, and a quality video card. This should be a very robust game platform, and that's not by accident. (It is called the "PlayBook" for a reason...)


We'll Provide Support.

  • Our mobile forum is created for developers to assist each other.
