One Million Added to MocoSpace's Mobile Game Developer Fund

The fund is geared at creating games in HTML5.

MocoSpace, an online community that specializes in mobile gaming, has secured a $1 million addition to fund the HTML5 development of mobile games.

This news comes in anticipation of the so-called Project Spartan, a not-so-secret Facebook-developed, HTML5-based platform for games and apps. MocoSpace says that it will use the new money (which brings its total to $2 million) not only for Project Spartan but to further the development of games for the MocoSpace platform, which has 22 million users. More specifically, MocoSpace said that ��select�� developers will receive cash and marketing support.

��You want the user experience to be enjoyable and not frustrating,�� said Justin Siegel, CEO of MocoSpace CEO. ��People want to be able to play games with their friends, no matter what kind of device they have. The best way to make a great cross-platform social gaming experience is to build with HTML5. This is what Facebook is realizing �C and we can't wait to see what Project Spartan is going to offer consumers and developers alike.��

Developers that are interested in the fund can submit existing games and game proposals to gamesATcorp.mocospace.com. MocoSpace says that its ��expanding games staff�� will review your submissions and ��work with partners to create the best game for its users.��

Finally, MocoSpace announced that it is actively hiring game designers and developers at its Boston office.
