Nokia hat heute die zehn Entwicklerfirmen benannt, die bei der Mobile Games Innovation Challenge ins Finale vorgerückt sind und sich große Hoffnungen auf die Geldpreise machen können. Aus Deutschland ist keine Firma dabei, aber die Konzepte sind teilweise recht innovativ und daher eher nicht für den Massenmarkt, aber durchaus interessant:
Top 10 developers and their concepts are:- Active Tecnologia e Consultoria Ltda. (Brazil) – Cinemarena – set in a movie theatre, controlling avatars on the big screen>- CreatePlayShare (India) – Ball – play any ball game on your mobile device or even create your own new game- A Different Game (Sweden) – Ghost Wire – use your mobile device to communicate with ghosts- Eclipse Interactive (UK) – Watchers – conspiracy adventure game that uses Nokia Maps and other real world tools to find locations- Int13 (France) – Kweekies – augmented reality virtual pet game that allows players to interact with their pet by utilizing the embedded camera of their mobile device
- Jadestone (Sweden) and C4M (France) – Melokey – a music game for mobile devices where you learn to master songs and play them against other in-game characters to win the hearts of your fans
- LemonQuest (Spain) – Wave Pirates – a fun action game where players turn into a pirate navigating the seven seas, looking for gold and glory
- Onur Yazilim (Turkey) – Comet Hunter – a 2-D shooting game which combines the excitement of shooting with natural sound effects made by players themselves
- Simlife (China) – XDancery – a music game where players can touch the screen, draw patterns on the screen, shake the device or sing into it to hit the music tempo notes
