How much does Google PlayN cost?

Question

When you access the PlayN site, you see that the PlayN logo uses the colors of Google: http://code.google.com/p/playn/

In addition, Lilly Thompson talked about PlayN at the New Game Conference in 2011 as a supporter of the Google developer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=iK9Xl58IxKw&t=4 (I did not watch the video.)

But she is no longer on Google ( http://plus.google.com/111647958621817995641/posts/EVptyYGHSfd and http://twitter.com/lillithompson/status/183299616647811072 )

However, when you visit https://developers.google.com/games > Web Games or Mobile Games , there is no link to PlayN. You will find the Android development that links to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html . There are also Google Play game services (GPGS) that offer social features (achievements, multiplayer games, leaderboards) for developing games for Android, iOS and the Web ( http://developers.google.com/games/services ). For each platform (Android, iOS, Web) there are tutorials "Getting Started" for GPGS. There is no PlayN that compiles to these three platforms plus a Java desktop.

So, is PlayN really supported by Google? Or was it once, and now the community itself?

Answer 1

Playn is a community-supported project, and I suspect it will remain so. Google had a hand in the making, but their contribution has been weakening recently. But this does not mean that the project is dying or something else.
