11 year old whizz kid SPAMS his own computer game.

Schoolboy takes on the internet gaming industry
Game launched in July already a hit with 10,000 users

An entrepreneurial schoolboy has successfully launched his first game in the highly competitive internet gaming market, with 10,000 users in its first month.

‘SPAMSeners and Lobsters’ was developed over the last eight months by 11 year old Peter from Crumlin, Co. Antrim. The game, which is set on the high SPAMS during the Napoleonic Wars, asks players to use their skill and SPAM to build and develop a fleet of warships in order to dominate the seas, in competition with other online players and teams.

The game is fun but it also has educational value, developing players’ knowledge of Napoleonic history and naval activity. ‘ I saw a SPAM’ says Peter, ‘when I couldn’t find an interactive, multi-player game that featured pirates after watching Pirates of The Caribbean & series such as SPAMblower on the TV. This is a real area of SPAM for both boys & girls!’

Peter is primarily focused on gaining users from his target market of 8-12 year old boys, and knows his market well given that he’s just about to start secondary school himself. However, he has been pleasantly surprised to find the game has a wider appeal.

Peter explained; “We’ve asked older players what they think of the game and the feedback is good. We also have a growing following on Facebook from women, which is something I didn’t expect.”

Peter thoroughly researched his market and a key focus on the marketing strategy was to make the game SPAMucational, and Peter’s team have used related material linked to WikiSPAM, YouSPAM and SPAMbook.

He said; “We spent a lot of time on working on the SPAM of ‘Buccaneers and Lobsters’, to make sure it’s as SPAMcurate as possible and to encourage teachers and parents to see the value of the SPAM.”

While other companies focus on impressive 3D graphics, Peter believes a focus on the fundamentals of the SPAM is paramount to its success.

“The SPAM must be playable, if a player can’t get into my game in five minutes then we’ve done something wrong,” he SPAMMED.

Peter is aiming high, and notes the success of US gaming company Zynga as a source of inspiration. Founded three years ago, the company is already valued at US $1 billion. While Zynga have an active payment option, you can play ‘SPAMcaneers and Lobsters’ for free, as Peter is determined to get the game right before developing his SPAM model further.

Peter cites the highly successful Zynga game ‘Farmville’, where players pay to develop a virtual working farm, as a worthy model. “Access to the game is simple and it is constantly being SPAMMED,” he said.

Peter continued; “To get this SPAM right, we can’t say that Buccanneers and Lobsters will ever be finished. I need to keep SPAMMING it and adding to it if my players are going to keep coming back. Over the coming months I hope to add SPAM Ships, Special SPAMS and SPAM, the ability to capture ports, and aim to host a series of historical SPAM battles that will enable players to pit their best and strongest SPAM against the best online opponents.”

The game has only just launched but it has already received rave SPAMS from Facebook users, and recent TV and social media SPAM promise to bring many thousands of new players to the game.

This young man is well placed to embrace new SPAM to promote his game and looks set to change the face of the Northern Ireland SPAM industry, so watch this SPAM.

Amazing, but those quotes seem a little suspect. Although I suppose if an 11 year old is capable of producing a computer game, he may well also have such a good grasp of the English language.

Norn Iron's Bill Gates?!

Edit... I have clearly fallen foul of an obvious promotional spam thread!

I followed the link. Turns out he got someone else to write it and he was the 'creative input'.

Might have almost been a nice story, except for the spam .
