Cloud computing has been gaining traction in social media and has begun to appeal to developers of mobile games.

Mobile games could benefit from cloud networking as it allows games to circumvent the hardware limitations of mobile devices. Cloud computing allows mobile games developers to create games that make use of a network’s hardware rather than that of a particular mobile device. This allows for games with better visuals and more complex mechanics. Cloud computing has yet to become a standard among mobile games, but more developers and publishers are beginning to show interest in the subject.

Corona Cloud expected to streamline development process

Corona Labs notes that its new service is designed to make software development easier. Typically, developers have to use a variety of third-party tools in order to add features to their applications and other software. Corona Cloud offers them access to these tools in a single package, reducing the development  time of applications significantly.
