Currently I’m hooked up with a team of young developers who have been working (for a year now) on something like an app for casual gamers. Our intention was to create something unique and fun, which can be installed on a PC and where one will find a broad collection of online games.

So, right now we have this thing called Joyvy. We managed to add to it everything we'd expected, plus social features (users can socialise and chat even while playing). We have a base of users with their and social circles. What we lack is feedback!

What I really would love to hear is your thoughts about all this. Do you think an app like that has a future? Do you think it’s worth developing further? Any suggestions and criticism will be valued. (You can see the app when you google its name, Joyvy).

Many thanks!

Casual gamers are the worst kind of people and you shouldn't cater to their petty needs.

Can we have some screenshots please ?
Curious to the games you pick it sounds like a good idea. Biggest problem is the games for it.

Sorry, NGU was down, so I'm posting these just now. They are sample screenshots of the app's catalog:

Yes, the demo is a small website packed with a few flash games; there are more, however, in the app (see the screenshots below). Do you think Flash games in general are for a younger audience, or just the selection in a web-version of joyvy?

You mean, the games? They are loaded in the app. A person needs Internet connection to play those games, but he/she is not redirected anywhere when clicking in the app.

Yes I did that is a good way of doing it and way I would do it Smile
So far I like the look of it and any gamer could have fun with it. Release on android and iOS ?
