6. Building Social Games on Windows Azure

7. Sneaky Games Since 2001, Sneaky Games has built interactive sites and games for a variety of customers including: Paramount Pictures, Logitech, Hollywood Interactive Group, and Fairy Godmother Academy. In addition, our team has worked with large entertainment corporations on games and interactive projects including: Sony, Microsoft, Disney, Electronic Arts, Midway, NCsoft, Sega, Sony, THQ, Universal, and more. In 2009, the Sneaky Games team we started building our own game.

8. Sneaky Games Sneaky Games is a game development company that is currently building a portfolio of online social games. Our flagship game, Fantasy Kingdoms, launched in 2010. Our second game, Strife of Sevens launches in January 2011. Our third game will launch in March 2011.

9. Our Game Platform We started building our own social games on our proprietary platform. Integration layer for social networks Games framework Batched & real-time client communications. Driven by .Net on the backend integrates with Flash, Silverlight, or other clients (HTTP, WCF, or RTMP) Originally, our games were for smaller audience and scale was not a issue.. Then came Facebook.

10. What options did we have? Sharded Game Servers Traditional approach Better for real-time communication High management costs Stateless Game Servers Must have scalable and shared data source Good for applications that can afford batched requests Allows for low cost management

11. Our Decision We looked at various hosting providers: Amazon Rackspace Windows Azure We chose Windows Azure: We could go stateless – built-in clustering of servers Easily spin up new instances with a click when needed We would use BLOBs to store user data – they inflate incredibly fast from Azure storage. No need to manage server updates and other maintenance tasks.

12. Pros / Cons of Decision Pro: Easy server management Windows Azure is very fast! Unlimited scale It is Microsoft, i.e. developer friendly Con: SQL Azure did not meet our needs completely You must use the Windows Azure simulator in VS when developing There are not many developers pushing it in gaming – limited community(we are glad you are here!) Not as mature overall as Amazon, but based on recent news, it’s getting there
