Hey guys.. Are there any game developers here? I wanted to let you know about a project I'm working on called the Indie Game Challenge. It’s a great opportunity for game developers to get discovered and break into the industry, so I hope some of you consider entering! All of the details can be found here - www.indiegamechallenge.com - but if you have any questions, just reply to this thread and I’ll get them answered!

I'll not TAKE ANYTHING you write like this seriously because it looks dumb

Hey Tom! We actually just posted an article on our homepage advertising the IGC. Hopefully GW can round up a team and submit an entry or two. Thanks for joining and letting us know!

This is either going to get a TON of chaff, or most people will be too intimidated to submit their game.

I know all the rules can be intimidating, but you should definitely still consider entering. If you have any specific questions about what is allowed / not allowed, email [email protected].

Yeah, technically this is a contest to win money so no-one wants to be sued for some stupid sprite rips. At any rate, alot of our non-rpg-making denizens (read: the people who would more likely win this competition) make their own stuff, so I'm still interested in who enters and how it'd turn out. Hell, I've got 4 months to burn, mayhap I'll get my ass in gear and make something.

Whoa, just read some other details! It's a $100 entrance fee, now it makes sense that they should charge an entrance fee since they are giving away a lot of money! What I want to know is, are there runner up prizes? What happens if you don't win anything, will you at least get feedback on how to improve your game? At least that would be kinda helpful for those people out there who want to see how their indie game measures up against the industry!

EDIT: I don't doubt that there is potential on GW I just doubt how many from GW will be bothered to actually enter this!

I've done one of these before. Failed miserably. Was fun for the two days of being top rated.

Of course, the prize was more like 1000 dollars and there was no entry fee. Yay.

The GW update on this made it clear that applicants from certain states have the fee waived, so I'd look into that if you have legitimate interest in participating despite not having the money.

I like how everyone decided to reply in this topic instead of, idk... the mainpage article about it.

GW is going to look dead forever if no one cares enough to comment on the articles.

Integrate the site with the forums.

No one has bothered with the mainpage before, why should we now? Give us an incentive
