Electrotank’s mission is making it easy to build multiplayer cross platform browser based and mobile games with deep and engaging features.
Our ability to execute on that mission is based on nine years of (often painful) real-world experience and the talent of our engineering team.
Our expert team members are world leaders in Java networking, Flash and Unity.

Electrotank Brings the Fun to the Engage Digital Kids Conference
Electrotank is participating as a sponsor of the Engage Digital Kids Conference in Los Angeles from April 25-26, 2012. At the conference, Electrotank will provide on site demos of the Electrotank Universe Platform, our end-to-end development framework and tools for making cross-platform virtual worlds, MMOs, and social games in Flash and Unity. The Electrotank Universe Platform is behind some of the most popular and innovative kids virtual worlds, including Neopets KeyQuest, Mattel's Innerstar U virtual world for the American Girl brand, and the recently launched Imagine Towncollaborative MMO for tween girls from Ubisoft.
Electrotank Game Studio is among the fastest-growing game studios in the world. Our clients seek us out because of our understanding of the complex technical constraints of today’s technologies. They select us as their development partners because we have a proven track record of building engaging, great-looking products with high performance that scale to a record numbers of users.
Our approach is unique because our experience is unique. We were among the first to develop multiplayer browser-based games and our solutions have been used as examples of how-to for the last nine years. We are also among the first to integrate broadcast quality art and animation with complex character libraries into browser based casual games. This differentiated approach is a direct result of the diverse creative experience across our team.
