SkillPod targeting 40 Flash Lite games by January

Casual games firm SkillPod Media is ramping up its mobile roadmap, with 25 Flash Lite games already available, and 15 more coming by January.

The South African company says it will then launch its new mobile gaming platform in February, while releasing ten new Flash Lite titles a month during 2009.

SkillPod is also developing its first iPhone games, several of which will be released before February. The company started off making online games, but CEO Mark van Diggelen says it's chuffed with the success of its first mobile titles.

"The response from the mobile community has been amazing, with a number of South African mobile content aggregators showing a lot of interest" he says. "We're also getting interest from as far afield as Singapore."

SkillPod launched its first Flash Lite games for mobile phones in October this year.
