Hey All,
I know this forum is a bit of a weird mix of pros and fresh meat, and this is more towards the latter than the former - but Humble is once again co-sponsoring the Indie Game Maker Contest (IGMC) and as I work closely with these guys (not specifically on the IGMC or Humble, but closely with both) I figured I’d help spread the word.
Winners get cash prizes and promotional help. Everyone gets a lot of cool game development software on the super-cheap. Sure it’s no Unreal, but for anyone at entry level of game creation it is a great opportunity to try some different methods and learn a lot in the ~30 days of the event. IGMC closes about Aug 7 if I recall, so get on it!
Good luck to anyone who enters!
Oh and obviously: www.HumbleBundle.com and http://contest.gamedevfort.com/
