Since its launch, WiMi5 has shown it's capable of completing the entire video game lifecycle, with titles published in major portals and app stores. One example is "Ghost It!", published on Google Play, Amazon App Store, Firefox Marketplace, Chrome Web Store and several Web game portals.
This first version is showing the high interest there is in the developer community for this type of solutions. Leading stores like Google's Chrome Web Store already recommend WiMi5 as one of the few online solutions for creating web games. Other media label WiMi5 as the Wordpress of video games, validating the market's interest in this type of tools.
Right in the middle of the technological revolution on the web due to the HTML5 standard, WiMi5 has transcended the entertainment sector and is creating special interest in sectors such as gamification and education, where there is high demand for interactive web content. Some initiatives, such as Aulamentor, promoted by the Spanish Ministry of Education, list WiMi5 as a substitute for Flash in game creation. Other training centers, such as ViveLabs Bogotá, are already giving WiMi5 classes to entrepreneurs in the audiovisual content sector.
WiMi5 is now preparing a new round of investment internationally with expert investors in the video game industry. The goal is to evolve the product and increase the developer community exponentially.
