ARDefender, 50K DL in less than 2 weeks on Samsung Apps! FrancecloseAuthor: France Name: France Quiqueré Email: france@int13.net Site: http://www.int13.net About: See Authors Posts (27)   Corporate  1 Comment

The Samsung Wave – the only bada OS device on the market – is on sale since the beginning of June and seems to already have many adopters, if we believe those figures.

Since the beginning of the month (13 days) ARDefender (free on bada OS) has been installed on 50025 Wave phones all over the world. An average of 3,848 downloads a day.

If we classify by region, we see that: GLB: 10345, DEU: 9001 (7th), FRA: 7739 (14th), CHN: 4311 (9th), ESP: 3895 (4th), GBR: 3087 (8th), POL: 2699 (3rd), ITA: 1861 (6th), RUS: 1547 (4th), TUR: 1485 (6th), HKG: 1440 (4th), NLD: 1005 (12th), Rest of the World: 1610

I guess GLB means “global”, don’t know exactly what’s that.
In parenthesis, I put the current ranking in the top application. Polish honors us by putting ARDefender at third place in most downloaded applications through good media coverage (dailytech.pl, pda.pl, samsungbada.pl).
French people snub us ^^.

As a conclusion, I think Germany and France are the countries where the Samsung Wave works best. More generally, Western Europe, East Europe, China and Russia represent almost all of the market.
The downloads are almost nonexistent in America (Canada, Mexico, Argentina …). But we were unable to submit our game to Brazil and South Korea because because we did not have appropriate certificates (local age rating certificates like PEGI).

If you want to develop on this platform, consider the localization in German, French, Spanish and Chinese.

int13 is back, new website FrancecloseAuthor: France Name: France Quiqueré Email: france@int13.net Site: http://www.int13.net About: See Authors Posts (27)   Corporate  5 Comments

After a long period of inactivity on the website, we just published a major update, powered by Wordpress, bi-lingual and more dynamic, we will use this blog to keep you informed on our progress and use your feedback.

What’s new?

In June 2006 we decided to put the int13 association in hibernation mode to create a company, we spent some time to raise funds and in April 2008 the company int13 officially began.

Meanwhile we continued to enhance uEngine which includes now a full 3D engine, and an one the most efficient mobile augmented reality library.

We do hope people will talk about us in 2009, as we have a lot of exciting projects that will come out this year.

You will see that some sections of the website are still under construction, We hope they do not stay too long.
