Curved Infinity Games is proud to present MirthKit, a new free online gaming arcade that integrates a sophisticated development platform. Like never before, MirthKit connects talented game creators directly to their audience.

A Community of Creativity

MirthKit is available for Windows, Macintosh, and Ubuntu Linux, and games made with MirthKit automatically work on all of MirthKit’s supported platforms. MirthKit’s aim is to connect independent and amateur game developers to a large audience, hopefully fostering a new community brought together purely by creativity.

MirthKit is designed especially for high quality 2D games, which fit between free browser-based games and big-budget 3D games. While this market of Hi2D games is a niche pioneered by integrated console arcades, MirthKit expands on the idea by allowing developers easier access to tools, and gamers easier access to new games. MirthKit provides the perfect environment for the growing game-design driven marketplace.

Curved Infinity Games is also proud to announce the release of the first game produced using MirthKit. Finity Flight, produced in-house by Curved Infinity Games, brings an interesting new twist to the top-down arcade-shooter genre, expanding on older games with a new free-flight control system. Finity Flight is available free of cost, and is instantly available after downloading MirthKit. Like all MirthKit games, Finity Flight is also open source.

Office Zombie by Day, Game Creator by Night

MirthKit’s developer platform is specifically designed for the talented people who would love to seriously pursue creating games, but would like to start at a hobbyist’s pace. MirthKit is easy to learn, easy to use, and simple to publish with. There is also never a cost to developers using MirthKit, even if they eventually sell a game through MirthKit’s publishing system.

The secret to MirthKit’s development platform is its focus on simplicity. MirthKit’s feature set is small and was picked very carefully. All of MirthKit’s functionality is designed to be used with absolutely no setup and is designed to provide instantaneous effect. MirthKit reduces everything from drawing images, playing sounds, and networking to the lowest common denominator. Publishing a game for sale requires no effort from a developer, and after a game is published, it is available on all of the platforms supported by MirthKit.

In addition to simplicity, MirthKit takes advantage of a new publishing mentality called Software as a Service. All games created with MirthKit, including commercial games, are required to be distributed with open source. Software as a Service uses literature as a precedent; literature has always been available in source format, yet has still managed to be a viable commercial endeavor via the protection of copyrights. MirthKit organizes this mentality into a set of policies that, while in effect, expand the flow of information and ideas between developers.
