Break Into Games (BIG) Competition

I don't want to steal Jay's thunder so I can't say much about this other than it's gonna be BIG. The competition will begin upon the launch of TGB and will culminate at the 5th Annual IndieGamesCon.


Anyone feels like teaming up ? i am relatively skilled in graphic / music / sfx creation and can do some TGB scripting. If you have a competitive mind and feel you could complete a short game using TGB due for the contest please dont hesitate to contact me.

We've talked about doing a GID for brainstorming ideas for BIG after we launch the details of the competition - to help build teams around ideas. Have to chat with Tom B. to see if we can't get a GID going.

Hi Steve,

I'm more skilled on the programming side than the art side, though I think I'm fairly decent at the latter as well. I've done a couple of projects where I've collaborated with someone via the web. So I've got some experience coordinating/communicating at a distance.

I saw the video of your game (Kemosabe Micro) in another thread. I'm working on a similar type game. It's a top-down shooter of sorts, but it's a battle between 2 (or more?) space ships in a small area. I think there's potential in a merged concept of sorts. By myself, I was going to stick strictly to a multiplayer battle game. But together we could probably do much richer battle enviroments or even possibly an adventure game of sorts.

Think you'd be interested in such a game?

Hell yeah!! :) just add me to your msn list stevebisson (a) hotmail (dot) com

you are exactly who i was looking for to take the concept further :D i will be happy to make a game for the contest but i must admit my ultimate goal would be a shareware tittle.

i founded www.mainbrain.co.uk some months ago and really want to release commercial games eventually.

talk to you soon !
