Lucky me, I’m speaking about opportunities in location-based games @developconf coming up rather, er, rapidly in early July. Since I like my content to be fresh I haven’t worked out exactly what I’m going to say. But I like figuring stuff out so bring on the fun.
I’m interested in learning as much as I can reasonably expect to about (a) nifty examples (b) pain points for building (c) evolution of enabling techology & services (d) the changing shape of the design space (e) stuff that hasn’t worked (f) commercial models.
Here are some things people tell me I should look at:
- Ingress
- Zombies Run, Zombies Run 2
- Scramboo’s games
- Geosophic
- http://geoguessr.com/
- Spywars – (currently on Kickstarter)
- Gowalla – acq-hired by FB, and shut down
- survivalthegame.com
- your idea here…
Newsflash – more great suggestions May 18th from my fellow un-conferencers at Gamecamp. Deserves a separate post and gets it here.
I’m onto it! And Google’s shiny GoogleI/O conference keynotes gave me some extra things to think about too.
If you know stuff I should know about – tell me. Your name in lights for my DevelopConf credits roll. And here:
Thanks, in alphabetical order, AJ Glaser, Anthony Applebee, Byron Atkinson, David Nattriss, Daniel Doherty, James Turner, Owen Blacker, Pablo Valcarel , Scramboo, Tanausú Cerdeña, Todd Chaffee, YOU – YOUR NAME HERE.
Happy to chat. Happy to share what I’ve learned. Drop me a comment or msg me @HAStark on twitter or LI or FB.
Please spell my name right 🙂
