CloseHey everyone. Has anyone here heard of the Indie Game Challenge? I'm currently working on it and it seems like there are a lot of people here that might be interested. 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 heard of it!

The jist is that you (or a team) submit a game into this contest in hopes of winning $100,000. Closes on October 1, 2009, open to US residents. There is a $100 entry fee.
Oh yeah:
I lament that I do not have the ambition or drive to enter. Plus, I'm not a US citizen.

I've also heard of this. My friends wanted me to join their team for this contest. I'm busy with another game so I rejected them. Also, the odds of winning this are slim.
Maybe some advanced users should form a team here and work together on something neat.

Yeah what perplexes me is the amount of competition for it. A 100 dollar entry fee means that it's no joke. Most of us here use RPG Maker, and that's pretty much a step below indie considering some of us see this as a hobby and nothing more.
I'd join it, but my games use copyrighted materials and are constructed in an illegitimate maker. And on top of that, they suck!
It's good to see that you're willing to spread the word about it, though. You might not find many of the hardcore indie game makers you're looking for here, but every little bit helps, I'm sure.

I'm hardcore (not sure about the guys that I crack whips at to make them finish what they started though)! But I'm also a cheapskate.

I'm happy getting $10 - $30 off of text sports sims 1 a year. Sure beats getting a team of 20-50 people and working 3 - 4 years on something.

Waaay outta my league. Besides, I'm not a US citizen.
Thanks for letting us know though. Pretty sweet for those who are ready for it.

I have a hard enough time building an RPGMaker game, let alone running off to compose my own MIDIs and craft each tile set I use from pixels. FG's right, I can't think of a game I've played that would qualify.
Yeah...the fact that I don't even know what would and would not be disqualified by this indicates to me I'm not ready to enter.

Hey Max - that's pretty understandable! I still wouldn't count yourself out. If you have specific questions about what is / is not acceptable, email indiehelp@smu.edu. They should be able to get your questions answered..

In case anyone's still holding out, the deadline is this Saturday, 10/31. So you've still got a coupe days to finish off that masterpiece.
Good luck!
