My presentation at the Game Developer’s conference

If you are a social game developer interested in entering the japan market, please contact us: info@pikkle.com

Preparing for the Game Developer’s Conference next week, where I’ll be giving a talk on social games in japan.
More to come, but meantime here is a Pikkle overview!

Since japanese phones are rather unique, i posted a screencast of our JooJoo service. It’s all in japanese but there’s a spoken explanation (in case you don’t have your speakers on!)

This is a full-flash mobile social game service and works on the mobile phone in japan exactly as you see it here.

The “DEMO” of japan, Pikkle has been invited to present. This is a big deal and our coming out party   http://venturecapital.typepad.jp/blog/2008/05/infinity-ventur.html  

I’ve presented at the Games Developer’s Conference (and GDC mobile) a number of times about what’s going on in mobile here in japan.Below are links to some of these presentations. These offer a look at the more innovative applications and services coming out of Japan in the last few years – still many things are way ahead of the west.
