On Cotopia’s blog, we read that the company has started to explore
possibilities for including Project DarStar’s open source multiplayer
servers.
Currently, Cotopia utilizes a server configuration based on EJB3 and GlassFish. On this platform, Cotopia is handling 2000 mobile multiplayer sessions a day. The Project DarkStar servers can increase multiplayer possibilities for the company to go beyond their current 1-on-1 games and allow MMORPG like mobile games.
“How does this fit together with Cotopia? Well, Project DarkStar is capable of handling the back end for Massively Muiltiplayer games, and who said that Cotopia was going to always be about 1 on 1 play? While we have more 2 player games in development (BallShot, Poker, Go, Checkers ..) we’re looking into the future and see masses of players all interacting together in a new kind of game :)”
