Free Friday: Corona SDK Contest

Hey folks,

Ansca Mobile was nice enough to donate a pro version of the Corona SDK to the show.

We’re going to have a contest to determine who wins the copy.

Basically, anyone that submits a mobile game idea/concept/almost-completed/completed project by 5 pm on Monday will be considered for the prize.

The team that wins the copy will be the submission that is most likely to have a successful mobile game on the market. Here’s a hint, the closer you are to having a solid game completed, the better your chances are of winning.

The great thing about Corona is that it allows you to literally make a game in a few hours. So you can complete a solid game for submission before Monday 🙂

Enjoy and feel free to ask contest clarifications in the comments below 🙂

You’ll get a “promo id” via e-mail…put that in your promo .lua file…so all downloads through your game give you credits…and then your game gets promoted in other people’s apps 🙂
