Hey

The company I work for (Gogii Games) just launched a new contest. We are looking for casual games and are especially interested in those targeted towards iOS.

The prize is a 100K publishing contract. You can view full details here http://contest.gogiigames.com

    I'm guessing that it must be an unpublished game? Hmmm, that would mean I would have to delay the release of my upcoming game... Hmmmmm

    I haven't heard much about Gogii Games. Does anyone know anything about them?

    yes please, lol!

    After looking into this a bit more they say that you could send them the ipa file of your game. If you do that than all they have to do is to upload it to apple to start making money!

    It would be best to submit an unreleased game.

    Gogii Games is a fairly established company in the Downloadable Casual market on PC/Mac (Big Fish Games is one site were many of our games are sold). One of our most notable titles would be Princess Isabella (you may of saw it in Top 10 paid iPad apps over Mother's Day weekend).

    We are moving into iOS and that's one of the reasons behind this contest. We are looking to build business relationships with talented iOS developers.

    Email us for a UDID and we will gladly send one.

    What is the best way to send over games made with GS? Does Gogii Games have GS? Should I send a video of game play? I have a game that probably won't be done by July 15th, so I might as well send over what I have to this point. It's fairly original (you can consider it inspired by other games).

    Should I make a playable demo and put it up on the App store so you can check it out?

    Thanks!

    @DrGlickert

    Would you be able to create an adhoc build? Contact us for a UDID.

    As per rules the game doesn't need to be finished, but it should be playable (prototype stage at least) and give a good idea of what the finished product would be like.

    Hmmm... on one hand sounds very promising...and tempting

    The Mulder and Scully in me on the other hand is a little bit skeptic.

    This is actually standard legalese for a contest like this. The same wording was in the STEM competition that I entered. It made me nervous then too, but I think you will find that it will be in any legal contract for a game competition. Just my two cents...

    Whatever happened with that anyway? Did you win? Is it over?

    I've got an idea for this. The only clue I can give is cowboys. I'm thinking cowboys.
