Gamestop is holding an indie game challenge.

This might be out of 99% of your leagues, but there's a few of you who might be able to participate in this.

Also you or your team could win up to $100,000 as well as have your game published. Other prizes include a $50,000 scholarship to attend the guildhall at SMU.

You can find all the rules and whatnot at http://www.indiegamechallenge.com/

heh, entry fee is $100

doesn't seem very indie-friendly if you have to give them a wad of cash just to have a chance for them to judge your game and see if they deem it worthy

not that anyone on byond could win. it's just kind of counter-intuitive that they do that is all

100$ is pocket change even in Indie Development.
