Title: Mobile Games in 2011: Why the Cloud Matters & How to Get it Done.
Speaker: Patrick Meehan, CTO of Zipline games
Abstract: The mobile world moves fast, and even though games with simple
play mechanics and short play sessions dominate app store sales, it's just
not enough any more to design a simple-to-play client, polish it to a fine
sheen and release it to the world. Nearly all the top-grossing titles make
use of a free to play model with in-app purchases and a steady stream of new
content. How can a small mobile development team build a complex client-
cloud game quickly and efficiently? Patrick Meehan talks about the
challenges he saw building a multi-million dollar geocaching app at
Groundspeak and how Zipline games, Harebrained Schemes, and Nay Games are
now using the Moai Platform to simplify, focus, and produce quality games
quickly.
Bio: Patrick has over twenty years of experience in game development. A
graduate of the first class of the DigiPen Institute, Patrick has worked at
