Happy New Year: Resolve to design games in 2008
Gimme5games and Mochi Media announce the 2008 Casual Gameplay Design Competition
Did you spend the holidays reading round-ups of 2007's best games and thinking you could do that? Would you like to design games in 2008? Well, here's your chance: Jay is Games ( http://jayisgames.com) has launched the 5th Casual Gameplay Design Competition, sponsored by Gimme5games.
The aim is to design a Flash game based on the theme of "Upgrade". It doesn't have to be complex nor large in scope; in fact since you will have only 8 weeks to complete your design, simple ideas are probably the way to go. You can use any version of Flash (6+).
Entrants are free to interpret the theme of Upgrade in any way they see fit; however, the extent to which the game addresses the theme is left up to the competitions judges to decide. Cash prizes for the best entries are up for grabs. Importantly those who impress with innovative game design, production skills and an imaginative interpretation of the theme will see their game and credits spread across the world's casual game sites and be given a thorough review of your work by the JIG Casual Gameplay staff.
