Windows Phone developer program DVLUP now available worldwide

Microsoft has announced that DVLUP, the Windows Phone app developer program that Nokia first launched in November 2012, is now available in 192 countries, which means that it its now accessible in nearly every part of the world.

The DVLUP program is basically a way for Windows Phone app creators to engage with each other while also making software for Microsoft's mobile OS. The program includes a kind of meta-game where developers can earn things like badges and prizes when they unlock achievements on the DVLUP site. There's also a leaderboard where those same developers can compare their badges, the number of points they have collected, and how many apps they have created for Windows Phone, along with apps made for Nokia X and Nokia Asha devices.

What do you think of this worldwide expansion for DVLUP and will it help Windows Phone increase its app library?
