Mobile gaming is another booming sector now days. Not just to relax for some time, mobile games offer more such as mind building, learning through gaming and etc. Many PC and Game-box development organizations are also concentrating in mobile gaming also – you can refer their websites.

I would like to share my suggestions here – regarding how mobile gaming can be a career for someone

1. You just need a small team of people to build mobile games. A group of friends with some interest is more than enough.
2. Team should have people with graphic design knowledge [Adobe photoshop, Adobe Flash…etc], along with knowledge in Adobe Flash lite Programming, Game Logic Building and Mobile controls management.
3. Games can be simple as Board games – Word games, or racing type, or first person shooting – you can get many SDK and platform from internet.
4. Build for specific devices first and deploy them for free – with limited functions. This will get you user base. There are many websites to provide free downloads to end users – they take care of promoting your games.
5. Multiplayer games need a server application and GPRS usage – I suggest this can be a future idea.
6. Review the mobile games available in Internet – Test them and try to build a improved version. For example: Mobile version of Hang-man.
7. Mobile gaming can pay a lot – if the games are interesting and colorful. Make sure you deliver content not just for fun, but also a little learning inside it (Example: Word Building or Mathematics Games)
8. Learn Flash Lite, Photoshop. Flash Lite programming is simple if you have knowledge in C++ or Java.
9. Learn about OVI – Nokia supports a lot for game developers
10. Test your games in devices, possibly all the options and deliver them with compatibility note.

All the best
