The Perfect Indie Development Contest…

Hey folks,

Here’s an inspiring contest for indies…it’s a Ludum Dare contest…but this time, your goal is to make a game and sell at least one copy of it.
http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2010/09/22/povs-challenge-make-a-game-sell-1-copy/

This contest is great because it gets developers thinking about the overall business rather than just the game.

I thinks this idea highlights the potential of contests. I’m going to borrow from this and set up a contest for this show that is in a similar spirit, mainly focusing on getting indies to start their own successful game studio rather than just making a rough game.

Keep you guys posted 🙂

In the meantime, check out that contest…I think it offers a lot of fun and opportunity 🙂
