CDN SpeedGame concludes!

We've been blogging it for weeks but the time has finally come, the end of this years CDN SpeedGame.

Every year the Christian Developers Network, a site dedicated to fostering a community of Christian artist, programmers, designers, etc. from all fields, holds an annual SpeedGame. This idea came from the community and has been driven by the community over the years. This would be our 4th year doing it, with every year getting better and better!

GarageGames has always been a great sponsor of the CDN SpeedGames and this year is no exception. In fact this year they've come out the strongest, offering their fantastic Torque3D package, iTGB for iPhone development and good 'ol classic Torque Game Builder.

It's been a long haul for developers of this years SpeedGames and the fruits of the harvest are apparent. We have some excellent games this year, everyone has really pulled through and delivered!
