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.

Pocket Gems’ developer surface includes support and 11 more developer resources.

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.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/pocket-gems: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
