SAN FRANCISCO-The Game Developers Association said Thursday it has formed a committee to act as a resource for mobile game developers, publishers, researchers and aggregators.
The Mobile Game Development Special Interest Group (Mobile-SIG) is designed to offer a source for industrywide views, collaboration and experimentation on development, limitations and opportunities in the wireless game sector. The group will issue an online publication examining successful game launches, marketing opportunities and industry-specific challenges.
“The Mobile-SIG will serve as a central resource for discussion of the unique opportunities and requirements of mobile games,” said Kurt Uhlir, Mobile-SIG chair and independent technologist. “All members of the mobile games value chain must start to discuss the consumer needs, technical limitations, resources and technologies from related fields and new models for interacting with the end user.”
