The game industry has changed. We used to work on games for two to three years, stick them in a boxes and ship them to retailers around the world, hope for a decent Metacritic score and move onto the next set of titles. We don't do that anymore.

In this new era of gamemaking, the rise of digital distribution platforms, social networks, pervasive and fast network access, and powerful new mobile devices has forever transformed the landscape. Now, we are perpetually connected with our players, we are tuning and iterating our game experiences on a daily and hourly basis, and we dialogue with our users and our fans constantly.

At ngmoco:) we're committed to building next generation games for this new ecosystem and user. Our goal is to create innovative, socially relevant, compelling mobile social game experiences that promote daily active usage.

If you're interested in helping us define this new era of gamemaking, join us.
