14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia Games Publishing has just announced its Yamake for N-Gage, a new game that allows users to create their own mini games by adding personalized content. After you've created your games, you can play and share them with friends and the Yamake community.
"Yamake is a groundbreaking new game for the N-Gage platform. Players can make, play and share games that are customized using user-generated multimedia content, and we are proud to be pioneering this new way of playing," said Dr. Mark Ollila, Director of Technology and Strategy and Head of Games Publishing, Nokia. "This is exactly what the future of mobile gaming should be about - creating games that you love and want to play, then sharing them with other players."
Yamake (somehow coming from "you make your own game") offers easy-to-use design tools that enable players to transform each mini game with their personal content, including text, images, movies and sound clips. The content can be added from players' PCs, allowing them to create various unique games, like puzzles or quizzes.
Users can share their personalized mobile games via the N-Gage Arena, the Yamake community or via multimedia messages between N-Gage compatible devices and other S60 handsets. The new Yamake community will connect players with one another, giving them the chance to download and review any mini game, as well as share fresh ideas for content.
Yamake is not available yet, as it doesn't appear on the N-Gage website, but since it was announced, we should expect to see it pretty soon. Nokia's N-Gage Arena itself is not properly launched, as the Finnish company has only offered N-Gage First Access until now, a pre-release that allows Nokia N81 users to test the platform and its games (not too many for the moment).
