Blue Frog Gaming is a small independent game studio founded in 2007 by Matt Maroon and backed by Y Combinator (Summer 2007 batch), based in Akron, Ohio. The company builds browser-based and social strategy games, best known for Starfleet Commander — a persistent, multi-universe game of resource management, alliance building, and fleet combat — along with Stardrift Empires (built with Syfy Games) and the sci-fi MMO ShadowRift. Blue Frog Gaming is a consumer game developer rather than an API-first platform: as of this profile it publishes no public developer portal, API documentation, SDKs, or machine-readable API description. This record is maintained in the API Evangelist network as a company profile; it will be upgraded if and when a public API surface is discovered.
Blue Frog Gaming is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Gaming, Video Games, Browser Games, and Social Games.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
