It’s ironic that even though apps are the reason why the iPhone has been so successful, yet the developers have no way of knowing who their customers really are.  As developers ourselves, we find connecting with our users to be one of the most important things that propel us forward.

This is why we are happy to announce today that we are launching the “PlayHaven Community Platform” for iPhone game developers.

For the first time, iPhone game developers have the opportunity to directly communicate with their fans and establish a passionate fan base.  Having passionate fans is the cornerstone of any successful game, and we want to be a true partner to game developers who are looking to establish a connection with their fans and form the base of a lasting franchise.

We have already pre-populated our database with over 15,000 iPhone games.  If you are an iPhone game developer, all you have to do is “claim” your community, it will only take you 30 seconds:  http://www.playhaven.com/about/developers/

Once we receive your claim request, we will process it within 24 hours.  Some of the biggest iPhone titles have already been using our platform, including Geared, Minigore, I Dig It, The Quest, Mouse House 2, SnowFerno, iSamurai, Bobble Surfer, ZombieSmash!, Transylvania, Genius Defense Force, Gang Street Wars, Tipoli, Influence, Above and Cell War, to name just a few.   Check out how fast the Geared Fan Community and The Quest Fan Community are already growing.

The most exciting part… you can bring your entire community INTO the game within seconds!  There’s absolutely no SDK required. Our in-game app is basically a web application that runs inside the game itself, utilizing the power of “UIWebView”.  Check out some of them in action:

Let me know if you have any questions!  If you are an iPhone game developer, please come claim your community   I look forward to working with you all.
