Come2Play - the creators of the first white-label social gaming platform and multiplayer game API - are holding a game development contest in conjunction with the LinkedIn Flash Game Developers group.
Flash game developers are challenged to make a correspondence challenge / turn based game using Come2Play's multiplayer API. The competition offers prizes totalling $8,000.
In correspondence games, a player makes the first move in the game then sends it to the other player(s) via email or as a message on their chosen social network. The other players can respond in their own time and send back their move. Correspondence gaming itself is nothing new - games such as chess are played via snail mail, but the opportunities for social networking correspondence games are huge. A well designed multiplayer game could easily go viral using correspondence play.
To enter the competition, just design a correpondence game using the Come2Play Multiplayer API. Prizes will be given out to games that successfully implement this turn based model based on the contest’s concept. Games will be judged based on originality, design, game play and use of Come2Play’s API features. Judging will be done by Come2Play in conjunction with a panel of industry judges.
Games entered into the competition do not have to be exclusive. You can retrofit an old game that has already been published and released.
The prizes for the contest will be as follows:
$5,000 for first place,
$2,000 for second place
$1,000 for third place.
The contest runs from January 1st through March 31st. Games must be submitted by 11:59pm EST on March 31st, 2010. To learn more about the competition, check out the official news page.
In addition to the prize money, Come2Play will pay developers with single player games which have over 100,000 game plays and a rating over 3.5 on Kongregate or Newgrounds up to $3,000 to convert their single player game to a multiplayer version.
All games come with the Come2Play revenue share program which pays developers for banner advertising and virtual currency monetization over the lifetime of the game. This revenue is on top of the prizes awarded and is available for every game submitted in the contest no matter if the game wins or not.
