http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/mariam-dholkawalas-forum-nokia-blog A Forum Nokia Blog <p> &nbsp; </p> <div style="text-align: center"> <a href="http://www.imgawards.com/nominee_fiche.php?gameid=315&amp;categoryid=5" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.mariamdholkawala.com/images/imga_badge.jpg" alt="IMGAwards Nominee" width="200" height="200" /></a> </div> <p> &nbsp; </p> <p> Announced yesterday were the nominees for the <strong><a href="http://www.imgawards.com/index.php">5th IMGAwards</a></strong>, and I am happy to say that <strong><a href="http://www.igamestudio.com/site/products.html">my</a></strong> Flash Lite game - <strong><a href="http://www.imgawards.com/nominee_fiche.php?gameid=315&amp;categoryid=5">Gear Wager</a></strong> makes it amongst the top 5 in the Best Casual Game Category. </p> <p> <strong><a href="http://www.igamestudio.com/site/products.html">Gear Wager</a></strong> is a fun casual arcade game woven around a story on the Flash Lite platform. The game is unique in various ways (you have to wait for it to launch <img class="wp-smiley" src="http://mariamdholkawala.com/mobile/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> ), but I&rsquo;d like to say that with this game, I&rsquo;ve tried pushing the boundaries of the technology and platform. Gear Wager is expected to launch early next year, but before that I hope it emerges a winner in this award show. </p> <p align="center"> <img src="http://www.mariamdholkawala.com/images/screenshot1_xsmall.jpg" alt="Screenshot1" width="200" height="265" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="http://www.mariamdholkawala.com/images/screenshot2_xsmall.jpg" alt="Screenshot2" width="200" height="265" /> </p> <p> &nbsp; </p> <p> IMGAwards are prestigious and being a part of their nomination is definitely an honor for any mobile game development company, including mine. This year IMGA received hundreds of entries out of which 26 are selected in 5 different categories. The nominations are extremely competitive this year with the best in the industry being chosen by a jury from the wireless industry. This year's official sponsors are Nokia and Movida (Japan). Co-sponsors are Euromediterranee, AMD and ARM. </p> <p align="center"> &nbsp; </p> http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/mariam-dholkawalas-forum-nokia-blog/2008/10/28/gear-wager-flash-lite-game-nominated-for-imgawards Tue, 28 Oct 2008 09:08:59 +0200
