Phase one of the Activision Independent Games Competition has concluded and the winners — Dstroyed and Rigonauts: Broadside — have received their prizes. Now it’s time for phase two! An official press release went out today, saying entries are being accepted any time between now and the end of the year.
Once again, indie developers are invited to submit a concept or a working prototype, and two two winners get $175,000 and $75,000 in funding to finish their games. And once again, Activision does NOT own your IP if you enter. There was some confusion last time so it’s worth noting.
The only notable change I can see: This time, the judging of entries will be handled by the folks at IndieCade. Their next conference happens to take place next week, so if you want more info on them or the competition, that’s the place to be.
Ready to go? Here’s the entry form. Good luck — I look forward to interviewing the winners again!
