Microsoft Opens Registration For Dream, Build, Play Challenge
Microsoft's annual contest for the indie game development community is open for business. Do you have what it takes to win the prize?
The contest, which allows players to submit games created for Xbox 360 built through the XNA development tools, will be accepting registrations at the Dream, Build, Play official site from anyone over the age of 14. After you register, your team must submit a game for the contest between May 15 and June 12.
There's a new category this year for the Windows Phone platform, so aspiring mobile developers can also be a part of the action.
To get an idea of what developers have done in the past, there are 13 semi-finalists from the 2011 Dream, Build, Play contest available for download on the Xbox Live Arcade indie channel.
Finalists in this year's contest will have the opportunity to show their games at PAX 2012 in Seattle.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
