Shinra Technologies announced that it has released tools that will enable indie game developers to build massive game simulations with its cloud-based game-streaming service.

New York-based Shinra has released both English and Japanese language versions of its Community Cloud Development Kit (CCDK). The tools give indies a way to harness the power of remote rendering on the Shinra cloud for testing and presentation purposes.
