OpenKit is developing an open-source backend platform for mobile games with core features such as cloud storage, player leaderboards, and Facebook/Twitter authentication. The codebase is hosted on GitHub and developers can export their data to run their own backend if desired. The team describes the initial launch as a minimum viable product and plans a public beta in February after a private beta that will start with 50 developers. Demand indicators are strong: 160 developers signed up on day one and the total has grown to about 500. The company intends to use a freemium business model where basic tools are free and higher-usage developers pay. Financially, the team has raised $200,000 to date, with additional capital recently provided by a co-founder.
