A new indie gaming development suite is set to be launched by Samsung and EA-Chillingo on March 4th and this could definitely increase interest in Samsung's app store. This program targets budding developers to take advantage of the Samsung Apps store to introduce their mobile games, with very little outlay.


Indie game developers will earn hundred percent of their sales for the first half of the year from date of launch and then, Samsung will collect 10% on the next half onwards. After another year, the Korean tech giant will eventually earn 20% of all developers' sales. This is quite an attractive deal for indie game makers compared to what they will potentially earn if they launched using Apple, which takes 30% of the sales.


Samsung will also promote these indie developers, which is something that most start-up and small companies cannot afford to do. Moreover, they get to keep the publishing rights and they may even launch their games in other app stores.
