The Game Challenge will feature…
Competitive Game Challenge w/ Great Prizes:
Enter your game concept or prototype in one of three levels (Indie, College and High School) and in one of two categories (Best Entertainment Game or Best Serious Game). Winners in each category will receive great prize packages – from cash and/or gift cards, experiential prizes, industry mentorship, game promotion/PR opportunities and much more. In addition, all college teams are eligible to be considered for the 2014 MassDiGI Summer Innovation Program. Check out our list of prizes here, as well as the competition rules here.
Robust Mentorship Program:
One of the highlights of our event has been the opportunity for teams to meet one-on-one with industry mentors to provide valuable insight on each team’s entry. This year, participating teams will have a chance to sign-up for mentor meetings in the expertise areas of Art, Design, Business and Technology. Check out our 2014 mentors here and then sign up here.
Educational Programming:
Day 1 of the Game Challenge will feature sessions to help teams fine-tune their pitch for the judging committee. Mini-sessions will focus on the topics of art, design, business and technology. View our initial schedule here (subject to change).
Indie Game Showcase:
What would a Game Challenge be without a few games to play! The Massachusetts Indie community is full of extremely talented individuals with great ideas on the cutting edge of game development. Teams and general attendees will have a chance to network with and, more importantly, play some of the great Indie games created in our own backyards.
