Pragma, a backend game engine used in several big games like Destiny 2, has announced an acquisition of Firstlook, a series of all-in-one Playtester features that pilot and follows players’ engagement data in the crucial test phase.
By adding the integration of the management of the Firstlook community in the Pragma backend, developers can, for example, follow the Steam keys and their uses without the need for third -party tools. According to Pragma, this includes the developers of People Can Fly, Square Enix, etc.
“The best games and the most successful are not only well built; They are supported by passionate communities, grew up by word of mouth, virality, quality influencer commitments and even more, “said Eden Chen, CEO of Pragma. “Bring Firstlook to the Pragma ecosystem means that studios no longer need to reconstruct fragmented solutions to engage with their players. Together, we write the game infrastructure with community commitment, giving developers the tools not only to develop their games, but also to build communities of flourishing players from the first day. »»
In theory, this will help developers who prepare games in early access or beta to better communicate with their audience of engineers. Libration feedback is quickly accessible, assuming that the absorption of Firstlook in Pragma is going well. For Pragma, it provides added value to the use of their engine, which is already trying to make openings to game titles as a service with things like a launch room and surveillance.
It was not indicated when the integration of Firstlook into the Pragma Backend engine should begin.
