BBC Worldwide invests in HTML5 platform

Media giant to release content on mobile and web; First title release in summer

BBC Worldwide has invested in a HTML5 development platform created by Spaceport.io in the latest funding round for the social games tech company.
Its HTML5 and Flash tool allows users to release apps to be released simultaneously across mobile and web platforms.

The money from backers, which also includes US games incubator YouWeb, is to go towards hiring new staff at Spaceport.io and developing its platform’s HTML5 and Flash compatible performance.
The first project from BBC Worldwide using Spaceport.io is set to release this summer.
“Spaceport is the leading HTML5 game development platform for creating high-performance game applications,” said BBC Worldwide games EVP Robert Nashak.
