First GMG Game Making Contest
« on: February 20, 2008, 01:48:21 PM »
I am pleased to announce the first Game Maker's Garage Game Making Contest will be held starting today. The contest will try to find the best game made using SilverCreator or GameMaker created by the community.

The prize is a front-page announcement about the winning game, with a screenshot, and a permanent screenshot in the "GMG Hall of Fame," a banner that will be put up in the header of the website.

The contest begins today, Saturday, February 16, 2008, and the deadline for submissions will be Friday, March 31, 2008. At that point, all games will be posted, and voting will begin. The best game will be chosen based off user votes. The voting period will begin on Saturday, April 1, 2008, and continue for one full week, until Saturday, April 8.

All games must have been created this year, and can be submitted at http://gamemakersgarage.com/index.php?page=contest2008.


Best of Luck!
The Game Maker's Garage Staff

I may also make a secondary game called : Trench Warfare It will mostly be an experiment with GM's sprite use and GM's shooter.

Don't forget about the March 31, 2008 deadline to win $50 for the best game (chosen by you the voters). The game entries are due at 11:59PST on March 31, 2008. Make sure you check the time against your local time so your game isn't rejected!
