Mobile games developers looking to get themselves on the map have a new industry resource at their fingertips.

Gameindustrymap.com is a free, wiki-style map of the entire games industry set up by Dave Perry, former boss at Shiny, which developed the likes of Earthworm Jim.

Perry is inviting the everyone in the games industry to submit markers to place on the map and build a comprehensive guide to games companies.

There are only 12 mobile studios on the map right now, which already has 1,000 entries and will encompass studios, colleges, outsourcing companies and freelancers.

Perry told Develop magazine: "We expect to see everyone using it, job hunters, press, gamers, college students, investors, even agencies that would like to see just how prolific this industry is."
