SmartFoxServer is a product by gotoAndPlay(), an Italy based company born in 1999 which specializes in creative productions and game technologies.

In the early years we've been working with major companies in Italy and abroad providing specialized Actionscript and server-side development, building large Flash based applications (at the time they weren't known as RIAs, yet) and web games.

Year 2003 has been a decisive year in the company's history as we launched the popular Flash game-developer community, gotoandplay.it one of the first portals entirely dedicated to this topic.
The SmartFoxServer project started the same year and was launched in summer 2004 in the gotoandplay.it Multiplayer Central, with a huge success. We provided a free educational version, called SmartFoxServer Lite, with dozens of free tutorials for anyone wanting to learn how to create multiplayer games.

A few months later we released SmartFoxServer Basic and finally SmartFoxServer PRO, the leading product of the series.

Today SmartFoxServer is among the leading middlewares for creating large scale multiplayer games, MMOS and virtual communities. It currently powers hundreds of different projects all over the world, from small chats with turn-based games to massive virtual worlds and multiplayer games.
