Tag Games gets Channel 4 apps investment

Dundee firm working on mobile outings for Come Dine With Me and Peep Show.

Channel 4 has commissioned Scottish developer Tag Games to make mobile apps based on Come Dine With Me and Peep Show.

The commissions are part of a £1 million investment by the broadcaster in projects with games firms in Dundee.

Fellow mobile developer Dynamo Games has also won a (non-mobile) project, to create Facebook game Beauty Town based on some of Channel 4's lifestyle programmes.

The investment is timely, following the recent collapse of Dundee console developer Realtime Worlds.

"In some ways the spotlight coming off Realtime will now come on to companies like Tag or Dynamo, who are much smaller, part of the next generation of games companies," Tag boss Paul Farley tells Herald Scotland.
