Tencent Photon
We are very honored to be one of the early users of Cocos. Through years of in-depth technical cooperation with Cocos, we deeply appreciate the continuous and solid technical contribution of the engine team and the developer environment of continuous improvement and development.
During the early days of the mobile game market, we launched "Happy Landlords" and "Happy Mahjong," both games pertaining to the “Happy Games” series, using Cocos game engine for the development. With the excellent performance of Cocos and the improvement of production efficiency brought by the editor at that time, the project team was able to bring an enhanced image to the characters of our games and a refreshing and smooth game experience to the majority of mobile players, which is deeply loved by players. Benefiting from the powerful cross-platform capabilities of Cocos Creator, "Happy Landlord" was the first to land on the WeChat mini-game platform in 2017 and continues to be popular.
Happy Game Studio has successively launched "Magic," another game of their “Happy Games” series, using Cocos to create a multi-platform game version. Battleland, "Happy Pac-Man," "The Strongest Magic Warrior," "Ludo SuperStar," and a series of casual game products. We believe that the Cocos engine team and developers will bring more and better works to players in the next ten years!

Tencent Tianmei (TiMi)
Cocos team has had many years of in-depth cooperation with Shanghai Tianmei. Several products of Tianmei are built using Cocos engines, including the explosive war strategy mobile game "The King of Chaos" and several HTML5 games.

In the past, it helped the "King of Chaos" team to quickly develop and build high-quality games and provided good support.
At the same time, the Cocos team has a fast iteration speed, provides customized services, and gave great support to the upgrade of Apple's Metal rendering technology.
We hope that Cocos may become the benchmark for China’s open-source engines and build a high-quality and high-performance cross-platform game engine. In the future, more masterpieces will be developed around the world based on Cocos engines.

Digital Sky
On the occasion of the 10th-anniversary celebration of Cocos engine, Chengdu Digital Sky would like to express its sincere congratulations to our old friends.
Since its establishment in 2011, with the help and support of Cocos, Digital Sky has successively released a number of flagship products, forming an indissoluble bond with the Cocos team. Among them, as our first product was released in 2012, "Xiongrui Tiandi" became the first Chinese product to break into the top 30 best-selling apps in Japan. The "Power of Dragon," which was released in the same year and ranked Top 3 in the best-selling list in many countries, is also inseparable from the help of Cocos engines. In the following years, the release of "Measuring the Three Kingdoms," "Sword Inn," and "Dragon Ball Fighting" was a testament to the growth of Cocos in a few days.
As a free and open-source mobile cross-platform game engine, in addition to the native platform, Cocos's continuously increasing supportable platforms and providing corresponding tool chains, examples, etc., have greatly reduced the development cost of partners. The continuous efforts of the Cocos development team to improve engine performance and the introduction of 3D functions have provided more possibilities for users' project development.
I wish Cocos engines continue to empower the game industry and achieve greater development in the future.

I wish the Cocos team a better and brighter future and hope that we will work together to develop more high-quality games.

Baby Bus
Cocos and Baby Bus have become trusted partners. Thanks to the help and support of the Cocos engine, the Baby Bus educational products achieved more than we have thought possible. Over the past nine years, Baby bus and Cocos engine go hand in hand.
In 2011, Baby Bus started using Cocos 2d-x to develop iOS learning apps. In 2013, Baby Bus started to use the cocos2d-x V2.1.4 engine framework based on Lua to realize the development of cross-platform application scripts, which improved our development efficiency and saved us a lot of development costs. In 2016, with the update of the 3.x version and changes in the rendering mechanism, Baby Bus upgraded the framework from the 2.x version to the 3.x engine framework, which improved the performance and experience of their games.
In the future, we hope to deepen our cooperation with Cocos and their innovative technology, develop a more stable and high-quality engine, and provide users with better products and services. We wish Cocos engine will stay in the heart at the beginning of the decade, innovation will lead the future, and welcome a new starting point and a new journey!

HTML5 game development in recent years compared to other apps in education, leisure, branding, etc.,
are a relatively large number. In products such as Guagualong Enlightenment and Qingbei Online School, the use of interesting teaching games and teaching aid game content developed with Cocos Creator also provides users with a very pleasant learning experience.
Compared to using traditional client development, HTML5 games have cross-platform, high performance, and powerful expressive features, which greatly improves development efficiency and user experience.
Thanks to the hard work of the Cocos team, Cocos Creator can continue to empower HTML5 game development. Cocos is celebrating its tenth birthday. The past ten years have seen the vigorous development of the Cocos developer community and the rapid growth of users. I wish Cocos better and better in the future.

Our version was not very stable, but the very good engine Cocos community and team’s fast response helped us so that we could quickly pave the way. In the actual development process, Spark Thinking also had a lot of in-depth exchanges with the Cocos engines team, including performance optimization, compilation and integration schemes, component and plug-in mechanisms, etc. Spark thinking also contributed some ideas and solutions to the community.
At present, all the courseware of Spark Thinking are running on Cocos engines, and dozens of senior R&D engineers have formed Spark Thinking's unique project development process and scheme. These programs not only have an impact on Spark thinking but also have a good reference for other related education colleagues.

Cocos has been critical to the success of our studio, Trese Brothers. We've used the engine to build our most successful Steam (Win32/Mac OS X/Linux) games as well as the mobile ports for iTunes and Google Play. Projects like "Heroes of Steel," "Templar Battleforce" and "Star Traders: Frontiers" would not have been possible without Cocos.
Access to the engine's complete source code has been a distinct advantage, giving us the flexibility to integrate other components directly into the engine when needed. A huge thank you to the Cocos team!
Cory Trese, Co-founder
Tiled
Congratulations Cocos on a great 10th Anniversary! I wish you all the best for the future!
Cocos2d-iPhone was one of the first game development frameworks that added support for loading and rendering Tiled maps, and by extension also Cocos2d-x. Several books were written about game development with Cocos2d that also covered building maps with Tiled. Cocos has been a major factor in Tiled's popularity, for which I am very grateful.

The above is a partial list of wishes, in no particular order. Thank you again to everyone!
