GameDev.net Launches Four Elements Game Contest

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we-who-many-be-about-to-dev-salute-you dept.

Superpig writes "GameDev.net has just launched their annual Four Elements contest. Participants are given just under six months to make a game based around four elements: this year, it's Emotion, Economics, Emblem, and Europe. Any tools or middleware can be used, provided it's all legal. The prize pool looks a bit thin at the moment, but in past years they've had folks like ATI and SoftImage donating mid-contest, so it'll probably pick up as time goes on."

    Exactly HOW do you "follow" game development if you don't do pro or hobby work? You read Game Developer every once in a while? Follow the occasional link to GamaSutra.com? Peruse the news from GamesIndustry.biz?

    The contest is aimed at active developers. If you're not one, it's hardly surprising you've never heard of it.
