RocketFuel is Progressive Media's in-house development platform designed specifically
to speed up cross-platform game development. RocketFuel has already been
used to build a range of top titles for the mobile market, most notably Mobile Game
Of The Year 2008, "SolaRola" and Mobile Game Of The Year 2010, "Mystery Mania", as awarded by leading games site PocketGamer.
With RocketFuel, you develop your product in one single stable, efficient environment
- And later decide what hardware you want to deploy to. You don't port. You write.
Once.
RocketFuel helps:
- Reduce development cost
..through automation, efficient tools and virtually no "new platform" learning curve.
- Improve product quality
..through enforced best-practices and pre-optimized tools to deliver great consumer
experience on any device.
- Improve profit margin
..through reduced porting costs and maximized platform coverage.
- Reduce risk
..through opportunities to bring SKUs to other/new platforms at late stages.
More technical details on what RocketFuel offers:
- Programming language abstraction
All code is written in Java. The platform automagically converts to required target
platforms (C/C++, ObjC, j2me, etc)
- Games-focused API
A simple and efficient API, identical across all platforms. Allows focus on game
logic and removes the need for game programmers to deal with device/platform specific
implementations of graphics, audio, controls, etc.
- Feature-driven fragmentation handling
The secret to successful cross-platform mobile/handheld development lies in how
well you manage fragmentation. With great control over which features and assets
get deployed to which devices, RocketFuel is second-to-none in working smart across
many platforms and devices.
- Platform abstraction
If it works on RocketFuel, it works on iPhone. And on Android. And on Nintendo DS.
And PSP, Windows Mobile, BREW and J2ME. And more.
- Device abstraction
As more and more fragmentation is introduced (for example, growing differences across
Android or iPhone OS devices), the RocketFuel feature model helps easily design and write functionality that works and performs well across different devices.
- Streamlined development environment
Work is performed in Microsoft Visual Studio - the leading software development
package on the market - with all the productivity and debugging options this has
to offer. Build to and test for any target platform/device by the touch of a button.
- Streamlined tool chain
No need to deal with platform-specific audio/graphics tools or formats. RocketFuel
tools allows you to keep working with formats developers are familiar with.

- Web (Flash and Applets)
- iPhone, iPad, iPod
- Android
- Windows Phone 7
- Windows Mobile
