Here are a few options: Diaspora, EyeEm, Vero, and more. In addition, Facebook is partnering with Unity game development software, which will allow developers to export their builds directly to Facebook in Gameroom format. Here are some ways to get started. Also, keep reading to learn more about Diaspora and its Arcade.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diaspora\"><\/span>Diaspora<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The success of social networks like Facebook is often correlated with a lack of privacy and user privacy. Facebook is notoriously rife with issues relating to online privacy, and Diaspora is no exception. In its recent Kickstarter campaign, the social networking site raised nearly $200,000, far exceeding its initial goals. Diaspora promised a &#8220;decentralized social network&#8221; using open-source software. Users could create their own personal servers to control their data.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EyeEm\"><\/span>EyeEm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Facebook has a crowded social gaming space, EyeEm is bringing new features to the mix. Its photo sharing features make it easy to share photos with friends and find new ones with each post. It also offers features like discovering your friends through social media, and tweeting them using your Twitter handle as a tag. While Facebook Gameroom may be free, EyeEm is not. However, it is worth checking out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vero\"><\/span>Vero<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The emergence of Vero as a replacement for Facebook&#8217;s Gameroom could be a good sign for the social network&#8217;s future. As the iOS App Store has increased in popularity, Vero has become the number one download on the platform. The social network&#8217;s spokesperson has said that the app is approaching 1 million sign-ups. However, it seems as though Vero&#8217;s popularity is more a function of its lack of stability than its content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diasporas_Arcade\"><\/span>Diaspora&#8217;s Arcade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google+ is the next big thing and Diaspora&#8217;s Arcade has taken over Facebook Gameroom, but how is it different from Facebook? Its zeitgeist-capturing design, along with its connections to Facebook, Tumbler, and Flickr, has generated a lot of buzz and interest. As a new social network, it needs to survive financially, so it&#8217;s trying to persuade people to become volunteers, donors, pod hosts, and users. In order to do that, it&#8217;s raised almost $45,000 on Kickstarter, but unfortunately, PayPal has temporarily blocked the account, so it&#8217;s a different story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zyngas_Instant_Games\"><\/span>Zynga&#8217;s Instant Games<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a Facebook game developer, you&#8217;ve probably wondered: Why are Zynga&#8217;s Instant Games replacing Facebook Gameroom? The answer is simple: Facebook wants to earn 30 percent of payments made in games. That means they want to tie users deeper into their Facebook identity layer and increase ad revenue. Plus, promoting their games on Gameroom and News Feed is a great way to generate Facebook Live content from players streaming gameplay. In 2009, Facebook users flooded the site with mobile games, and now they want to get them back with an official PC app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Veros_Arcade\"><\/span>Vero&#8217;s Arcade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook has announced the launch of Gameroom, which was formerly known as Facebook Games Arcade. The platform is now available for Windows 7 and higher users in beta. Currently, game developers can export games created in Unity to Gameroom. It is expected that the official consumer version will be released soon. Here are a few things to consider when you&#8217;re deciding whether or not to use Gameroom.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Game_of_Dice\"><\/span>Game of Dice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of Facebook gaming, you might have noticed the new Game of Dice. As part of a partnership between Facebook and Steel Media Preferred Partners, the game is now available on Facebook Gameroom. To become a winner, you must play the new game, post a screenshot on Facebook, and share your opinion. In the game, you can also earn points by completing challenges, including collecting items and destroying your opponent&#8217;s towers.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KXSbkHBIrXk\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"256\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"458\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Replacing Facebook Gameroom?
