Have you ever had a great game idea but lacked even the slightest means of making that dream game a reality? Of course, you have! I have those thoughts all the time, but all thatworkis just such a big turn-off. I wish I could just be the “idea man” and have some other poor schmucks do all the heavy lifting for me.
Well, now I can… I mean…YOUcan!
Competition organizer GAMEscribe has teamed up withDementiumandMutant Muddsdeveloper Renegade Kid for thepitchWinPLAYcontest. Starting tomorrow, March 25, and running through September 1, entrants can submit a pitch for an original side-scrolling platformer. In addition to $5000 cash and other goodies, the grand prize winner will have his or her game turned into a legit 3DS eShop title developed by Renegade Kid using theMutant Muddsengine. Now, doesn’t that just kick twenty different kinds of ass?
There is an entry fee required — I’m assuming it’s to help with the game budget as well as to avoid stuffing the submission box. If you enter by April 13, the fee is $20; by August 1, $25; and by September 1, $35. You must be over 18 to enter, but at least the contest is open to folks outside the US. you may find more details and a full list of prizes at the link below.
