GarageGames, GreatGamesExperiment.com, and www.mygmgame.com are sponsoring the first Game Development Competition from Combustion Entertainment. The competition began July 18th and continues for 2 months ending September 18th. The contest theme is comedy, so developers are encouraged to incorporate comedic elements into their game in which ever way they wish. The contest site is up and running with forums which contain all of the necessary contest info such as rules and guidelines. One of the guidelines for the competition is that all games must be uploaded to the Great Games Experiment, so be sure to check GGE for new games that are part of the competition.

Entrants will submit their entry and at the end of the deadline 10 finalists (Chosen by a group of judges) from each category will go into a public vote to determine the category winner. Then, the winners are put in for one final round of voting to determine the grand prize winner. The overall winner will be awarded the complete Torque Suite (TGB, TGE, TGEA), and winners of each category will receive the Torque Game Engine. The Combustion Ent Choice Award will receive 1 Year Free Domain Name sponsored by mygmgame.com. We hope many people will enter and are looking forward to seeing the great games that are produced.

Submit your own resources!

Thank you GG for sponsoring this. We should see a lot of nice work from peoples projects. Since the theme is comedy I wonder if my project would qualify.. I mean since my development has been so utterly comedic :) (Comedic from the outside looking in, absolutely painful from inside here.)

Hope a lot of folks jump on this. Let the adventures begin.

Oh wow -- the contest already started? I never heard any previous announcements -- this sounds pretty cool, and even though it's a bit hard to start late, maybe I'll still give it a shot.

Thanks! Though someone hacked the site. kind of sad really. I'm rather angry about it because I wanted to check the site out today again.
