What Company Is Offering:
YoYo Games Ltd is a UK Based Game Start up founded by Game industry veterans, Sandy Duncan and Michel Cassius. YoYo Games launched its beta site in May 2007 and has grown to be the world’s largest user generated game site. Employing a web 2.0 community model YoYo Games allows users to “Play, Make and Share games” for free.
YoYo Games is providing young independent developers with the necessary tools and platform to create the games they want to play, and perhaps more importantly with an audience to play them. This can be provided free because the relationship between YoYo and its developers is symbiotic. The developers gain much needed publicity and the site benefits from a wealth of user-generated content which differentiates it from other casual gaming sites out there. Such a model is bound to encourage innovation without the traditional constraints of an “owned” title. The bumper crop of winter competition games seems to support this idea.
Recent Updates:
YoYo Games has announced its next major Dev contest. The winning titles stand to win $1,750 between them and, naturally, community kudos. The developers have been given until the 27th of April, 2008, to submit their projects.
