Mobile Game Developer War 2 has Ended. Prepare for Nokia Mobile Game Developer War 3

Mobile Game Developer War 2, the series of game development contest organized by Agate Studio and Nokia has ended with the announcement of the winners made last week. Kompas published the list of winners from first place to third place; Creacle with the Virtual Pet game, Elventales Games with Sky Express, and Own Games with Beyond the Well.

The winners are determined based on the number of downloads by unique users. According to Narenda Wicaksono (Developer Outreach Manager of Nokia South East Asia) in a brief interview via email, this concept was chosen because Nokia wanted to make sure about public engagement in a series of events this time. If during the first Mobile Games Developer War people could only watch "live coding" as an entertainment, now at the second Mobile Games Developer War, about 1.5 billion Nokia users all over the world can participate directly in selecting the winners.

Although the winner is determined only by the number of public downloads, Narenda ensures the quality of games produced in the Mobile Games Developer War. Moreover, aligned with Nokia's program, the concept of Mobile Games Developer War will continue to be developed to allow novice/beginner developers to become professionals.

Although this event was an improvement over the first Mobile Games Developer war event, Narenda is certain that Nokia will evaluate each event thus the next one could be even better.

Narenda said that the Mobile Games Developer War 3 will be held in the near future. As a heads-up, for those of you who live around Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Malang be prepared for a road show near you. Mobile Games Developer War 3 will target participants from beginner, intermediate, to semi-professional developers.

If you are interested participating, you need to prepare a team consisting at least two people, 1 designer and 1 developer. This way you wouldn't only strengthen the team with the technical skills of game development  but also pay attention to market issues and problems (other non-technical). Who knows you will be able to reach the final show of Mobile Games Developer War 3 that is scheduled to be held in Malang.
