“The Independent Games Festival is proud to present the first-ever IGF Mobile competition, a brand new contest set up to promote innovation in handheld games, from cellphone games through other mobile devices from Windows Mobile to Palm and beyond, all the way to PSP and DS titles.

The IGF has appointed Mathew Kumar as Content Director of IGF Mobile. Kumar is also the editor of the CMP Game Group’s Games On Deck website, the mobile game industry’s leading source of news, features and information, and will work closely with the IGF organizers to launch this new venture. In addition, the IGF Mobile judge panel, including leading journalists and industry personalities, will be announced in the near future.”

So, basically, this is why I’ve been so busy this summer. As content director I’ve been heavily involved in the creation of the festival and its website, and I’ll be working on it from this point on, confirming judges, finalists, updating the site and then doing all kinds of stuff at the event itself. It’s very exciting!

It’s worth noting that I’m not doing it all single handedly, though – the excellent Simon Carless has done a lot of work, as has CMP’s PR folks – not to mention any number of people I’ve probably forgotten already.

Anyway, what are you still doing here? Why aren’t you submitting your game already?
