Google Developing Android Game Center

Code for features like multiplayer options, notifications, in-game chat, achievement tracking, community leaderboards, and pre-game chat rooms was hidden within the Google Play Services suite that was, ostensibly, included in the Glass app by accident. The multiplayer support is arguably the most interesting feature as it provides for both turn-based and real-time multiplayer gaming, the latter of which could potentially utilize in-game chat.

Google Developing Android Game Center, According to MyGlass Leak - IGN: The team behind Google Glass’ companion app, MyGlass, may have inadvertently spilled the beans on an upcoming Android game center with a variety of features that could potentially revolutionize Android gaming. According to the sleuths at Android Police, the leak was discovered while they were snooping around in the apk file for MyGlass and it contains a few juicy hints about what an Android game center could have in store for users. According to Ron Amadeo of Android Police: It sounds like Google is going to take on multiplayer gaming in a big way. They're developing a plug-in gaming service that handles every common multiplayer feature gamers have come to expect. Developers' lives should get a whole lot easier, and multiplayer gaming on Android should get a whole lot better.
