The Perfect Indie Development Contest…

Hey folks,

Here’s an inspiring contest for indies…it’s a Ludum Dare contest…but this time, your goal is to make a game and sell at least one copy of it.

This contest is great because it gets developers thinking about the overall business rather than just the game.

I thinks this idea highlights the potential of contests. I’m going to borrow from this and set up a contest for this show that is in a similar spirit, mainly focusing on getting indies to start their own successful game studio rather than just making a rough game.

Keep you guys posted 🙂

In the meantime, check out that contest…I think it offers a lot of fun and opportunity 🙂

Contest: Win a FREE Unity IPhone SDK License…

Hey folks,

The team at Unity was nice enough to donate the dev kit they have for making an IPhone game to the show (click here to listen to their interview).

Anyways, this is a pretty sweet deal imo…as their SDK speeds up iPhone development big time. You can check out more details on the SDK here…

The contest will go on for 2 weeks (until August 25th, 2009) and will consist of submitting a proposal for an iPhone game. The other readers will get to vote on the game they want to see made and the most-voted person/team will win the license. Keep in mind that I’ll get final decision on the winner…and will choose the person/team most likely to finish the game they proposed 🙂

Winner gets all the Unity tools needed to make an iPhone game using their platform. Keep in mind that you’ll also need to have an iPhone dev account with Apple to make an iPhone app (all iPhone devs need this).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Anyways, submit your proposal in the comments below 🙂
