Looking for more compo fun?
Here’s a really cool contest: You have seven days out of the month of September to build a game that is “NEVERENDING”. Can you build a game that is infinitely playable, and always crowd pleasing? For more info, check out The Experimental Gameplay Project
If you are a demoscener or love javascript html5 canvas stuff, there’s a nifty “elite” coder style compo called JS1k, where you have 1024 bytes total for your game. Entries are due in one week. Some of the demos totally blew me away – there’s even a Zelda clone!
Finally, if you are a serious contender and can afford the $100 entrance fee, you can compete for $100,000 in the Indie Game Challenge.
I’m always on the lookout for new fun compos, so if you know of any more, please post a comment and let me know. Thanks LDers!
Thank you for pointing these out!
And there is also the html5 mobile game contest from SPIL: http://www.html5contest.com/
One important fact, that html5contest company will own exclusive rights to your game, the IP, sequels, etc. So it is slightly scammy. Be careful about what contests you enter, folks! There are tons of contests out there where you are essentially being taken advantage of and giving your game to a big company who can then sell it or create titles with your creations without paying you a cent after the initial “prize” which is a pittance.
