Nokia and G-mode leading casual games developer, have teamed up together to develop ‘Chess a Moment’, an online and turn-based chess game, which will be based on the Nokia SNAP Mobile platform.
With this announcement, G-mode is planning to bring more mobile multi-player games to global market.
Antoine Doumenc, Head of SNAP Mobile expressed, “Chess a Moment is a winning example of how to build an innovative and fun mobile multiplayer game that transcends many of today’s network limitations. G-mode effectively brings more entertainment to mobile chess by allowing players to interact online with friends versus playing alone against a computer.”
Players can compete in up to eight live games simultaneously. Players can also make moves against offline players. In this game, players also have up to 30 hours to ponder their next move. Players can also review the move histories of their opponents at any time during a game.
Moreover, it also provides chat, presence, rankings and multiple languages support, which helps the players who do not understand the same language as that of the opponent.
Takeshi Miyaji, President of G-mode, commented “Our cooperation with SNAP Mobile started when we entered and won the SingTel Game Quest competition in 2006. From concept to deployment, SNAP Mobile has provided the right foundation to take our concept and turn it into a reality.â€
Consumers can expect to get their hands on G-mode’s ‘Chess a Moment’ in the fourth quarter of 2007. This news was announced at the ongoing Tokyo Game Show.
