Isn't Rooster Teeth copyrighted? So then those who are in the process of making an RT game will either not be able to enter or have to make a new game?

I thought it was the International Game Developers Association... or is this a different organization?

Anywho, this looks like a really fun contest!

No, we are the INTERNATIONAL Game Developers Association. Just a small typo to get them to fix.

sadly I only just started with my project and it is still bare bones concept, but I love the idea and can't wait to see what others do. Guess I couldn't submit my untitled project freelancer RPG anyway cuz of the rules, but good fun.

You mention mobile games once in the post, but it doesn't seem to be in the requirements. Does it HAVE to be a mobile game?

i would do this but i dont know what software i need to make apps. can someone tell me what i need?

Look up Unity 3D, it may be daunting at first, but that engine is best for people who don't know anything about coding or game development.

2 questions;

1. Will be happening at the next RTX?
2. Are the games restricted to mobile platforms? Could I enter a PC only game?

I like the idea a lot....what sucks is I don't know how to put together a decent game...this kinda blows on two levels.

I would probably submit, but:
1: I am sadly not attending RTX...
2: The game is a horror game, probably too gruesome and shit.
and 3: It is made in a licensed engine, so it isn't made from scratch.

Good luck to everyone!

Just noticed the options at the bottom for sharing info via facebook and twitter. That's smart. Let others share it with one click and it'll spread fast.
