Pocket Gems

Pocket Gems is a San Francisco mobile games and interactive entertainment studio founded in 2009, employing over 200 people and backed by Sequoia Capital and Tencent. It builds and operates the Episode interactive-storytelling network, Episode XOXO, and the 3D real-time strategy title War Dragons on its proprietary mobile-first Mantis Engine, with products downloaded more than 325 million times. Pocket Gems ships consumer mobile applications rather than a developer-facing API program: there is no public developer portal, API reference, or machine-readable specification. Its public developer surface is a GitHub organization and four first-party Apache-2.0 Node.js libraries published to npm under the @pocketgems scope (the internal "Todea" service stack), plus an Episode Writer's Portal used by story authors.

Pocket Gems is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Gaming, Mobile Games, Interactive Fiction, and Entertainment.
