Make 'em Up development contest offers top prize of nearly $80,000
Turborilla, a game developer, has announced a new development competition with a top prize of nearly $80,000. To enter the Make 'em Up contest, coders must submit an application form and a prototype of their game by August 15th. Entries will then be judged on the viability of the title, the skills of members involved, and team commitment. Winners will be offered a revenue-sharing deal, but will also be allowed to mint ownership and control of the final game. The $80,000 sum is meant to fund further development; Turborilla should provide guidance, mentoring, and industry connections.
