The View Contest - Contest #3
by Geoff Beckstrom · 02/14/2012 (4:57 pm) · 35 comments
All right community it’s time for another weekly contest. This one is all about the view. No not some daytime talk show run by middle aged women in the US, and no not a Zen garden/day dream location for Friday afternoon. Rather how many views can you generate to a YouTube video promoting GarageGames and a Torque engine?
These last two weeks we have seen some AMAZING entries. This week instead of just sharing them with the community members we want to get your talents and creativity using Torque out to the rest of the world.
What you put in your video is up to you – shots of a game you’re working on, your idea for a particularly significant and well known football game commercial for GarageGames – get creative.
Here is what your video must have to qualify:
• A clear reference to GarageGames
• A clear reference to one of our engines – iT2D, T2D, or T3D
• A positive message about GarageGames
Beyond that what you come up with is up to you. The owner with their video embedded as a comment to this blog with the most views at 12:59 PM PST Friday February 17th will win $159 in first party store credit.
Finally a word from the legal department – all videos must follow YouTube’s rules of submission which means no objectionable material and no copyright violations. For this contest you have permission from GarageGames to use our company logo and the Torque engine logo. But you are responsible to ensure that whatever else you include in your video follows all applicable laws.
Game On!
EDIT: The video must be NEWLY posted (with 0 views) as of this week to qualify for the contest.

This shouldn't count for the contest (because it's an old video and has had time to gain some views), but I wanted to post it here anyway to show my support (plus it's pretty cool).

Is there anything that would be considered "cheating"?

Hmmm, I guess I could probably come up with something. Nope... I have to focus on getting the Conifer Forest Pack finished. Must focus, must focus. Great idea though!

The video's a little old and it's basically in one of the stock missions but you get the gist of it. Other videos on the same channel show off more of the gameplay. I really need to get a proper environment artist involved... and have for a while.

@Frank -Hacking YouTube to increase view count would be considered cheating :)

You might need to jump from proxy to proxy to make that work.

Your video looks fantastic. Even though it just shows the game enviroment, not game itself, it demonstrates your art talents so well. Hope you can finish and release this game successfully.

I refuse to create a YouTube account after they wanted to force me to create a Google account, so no participating for me. I probably wouldn't have participated anyway, because I have not much to show and not enough time. How do you guys have the time to make entries for contests? :(
