14 DAY TRIAL // SNAP Mobile has launched a challenge for mobile phone game developers in order to help them enter the market and become professionals. The Mobile Rules! Multiplayer Competition at the Develop Conference & Expo will attract them to develop games on the SNAP mobile platform.
"The Mobile Rules! Multiplayer Competition lets us reach out and find talented, but perhaps unrecognized, developers in a new way that benefits all. Developers gain commercial opportunities, and SNAP Mobile adds innovative games to our growing portfolio of Java-based casual games", considers SNAP Mobile head, Antoine Doumenc.
Moreover, "SNAP Mobile is all about giving developers the tools, resources and support they need to create fun, casual games for the masses. We take the hassle out of connected game development and are always looking for the next hit game to bring to the global marketplace", Antoine Doumenc further declares.
The SNAP mobile platform works on all mobile phones which are capable of Java support, no matter who the producer is. Among the main prizes of the Mobile Rules! Multiplayer Competition, there are also Nokia devices, promotion of the winning games in Forum Nokia developer communities and set-up of games in the SNAP Mobile production and online services. Moreover, developers will have the chance of negotiating and even publishing their ideas with the help and support of Mobile Rules! sponsors. The great advantage of this opportunity is that they will still hold rights over their creation and also score a considerable amount of money from it.
Developers can submit their game concepts starting with the 1st of August and throughout the entire month. More information on the competition are available at the conference's website. Submission forms are available at the Mobile Rules website. Winners will be announced in March 2008 and have the chance of seeing a commercial launch for their concepts.
