If you are an indie developer who doesn’t know how you’re going to find funding for your totally awesome new game, take heed because Activision andIndieCadewant to help. Starting October 3rd and running until December 31st, any independent developers working out of the United States will be able to enterthe second Activision Independent Games Competition. The first and second place winners will be given funding for their game in the form of $175,000 and $75,000 cash respectively.
All ownership rights will remain with the devs who submit, but unlike last time Activision has said nothing about having first pick on whether or not to publish any of the games. I may not agree with everything Activision does, but I can appreciate this, so long as things work out. As of my writing this, however,the official rules and guidelines pageis coming up as 404, which causes some doubt and a bit of concern. To those of you submitting, good luck.
