They have received notable accolades (including Channel 4’s New Mobile Game Developer of the Year), led cutting edge research in games and mobile technologies and worked with prestigious clients as Hewlett-Packard and the BBC. The four-strong team believe that mobile platforms are essential tools in modern education. Past projects have included location-based interactive tours which combine fun games and characters with valuable educational content, making new locations an extension of the classroom.

In this Lunchtime Talk, Creative Producer Will Luton to introduce us to My Star. The game is Mobile Pie’s first truly social-led game, offering a fresh and new experience by mixing gameplay with music, friends and stardom. Taking in the creative process, the business case and touching on the technical and collaboration with their partners, this is a great look at an innovative company pushing the limits of the gaming world.
