Title: Communal game challenging platform for mobile gamersAcronym: mobGFunding scheme: Eurostars, 25th of February call (http://www.eurostars-eureka.eu)Partners sought: EU SMEs (IT companies (especially in the mobile sector), mobile game vendors and providers and Universities (technology providers in the mobile sector, specialists in social networks, etc.)Contact persons: Mr Paul Hampson ([email protected]), Mr. P. Raxis
Outline of the proposal scope There is a great deal of interest in mobile gaming on smartphones and mobile devices, with estimates that the market will explode in coming years, with a 291% already registered increase between 2007 and 2008; and accelerating take-up in 2009. mobG intends to capitalize on this increase by creating a social networking platform for mobile gamers, which include both interactive communication, fun and competitive elements. The project will target, primarily, 4 mobile platforms, namely:
iPhone
Android
BlackBerry OS
Symbian (using the OVI app store)
mobG offeringsThe aim of the project will be therefore to provide the following functionality to gamers (e.g. mobile users via their handsets) and game vendors / developers:
1. Social networking site for mobile gamers.
2. Competitive gaming support, to allow users to submit scores from specific games and “challenge” each other to compete at cross platform games, where the competitors risk tokens and the winner

collects a token-based prize.
3. Support for game vendors, who will be able to gain revenue by participating in the service. They will receive a portion of the site’s revenue and the added incentive of increased sales for their game. The support will include the following:
o Availability of a unified SDK to allow them to more easily develop game features which will interact with the system, regardless of the platform and to facilitate cross platform games.
o Revenue sharing model with a percentage of the revenue generated from tokens spent within challenges using their games.
o Publicity features (templates for descriptions and advertising of games within the service).
Work Packages WP1: Gathering of User Requirements and System SpecificationWP2: System Architecture and DesignWP3: Development of the platform SDK and web serviceWP4: Development of the service Web presence and Avatar systemWP5: Service Deployment and VerificationWP6: Service Validation and User AppraisalWP7: Dissemination and ExploitationWP8: Project Management
