Kongregate, Tetsuya Mizuguchi Team Up For Game Development Contest

May 16, 2011

GameStop's Kongregate and publisher Ubisoft Entertainment are hosting a game development contest that will see one winner take home a $10,000 first prize. The contest is to promote the upcoming release of Child of Eden, the spiritual successor to the popular game REZ. Game director Tetsuya Mizuguchi will serve as a judge in the contest and will help decide which game is the best of the best.

The game development contest, dubbed "Experience the Music," challenges participants to "electrify the senses by creating a game that synchronizes music and unique gameplay."

The first few entrants will be judged by the Kongregate community until the list is whittled down to just 25 entries. From there, Mizuguchi and GameSpot editor Ricardo Torres will pick the top three entries, awarding a grand prize of $10,000 to the best game. The Second place winner will receive $3,000, while the third place winner receives $2,000.

The contest deadline is June 21. Rules, regulations, and fine print can be found at www.kongregate.com/experience-the-music.

E. Zachary KnightIf the videos are of sufficient quality that people subscribe and watch regularly, then those let's players are providing a service that people want. That is the heart of capitalism. That is not something that should be shamed.05/17/2013 - 8:06am
E. Zachary KnightI have no idea who either of those people are. However, I still don't see why making a business out of creating let's play videos is somehow evil or wrong.05/17/2013 - 8:04am
MaskedPixelanteIt sure is if you're just doing it for the money. See Tobuscus and/or Pewdiepie for what happens when people get into it just for the money.05/17/2013 - 7:30am
E. Zachary KnightWhy is it wrong to make money doing LPs? Why should that be something that should be shamed?05/17/2013 - 6:20am
MaskedPixelantehttps://twitter.com/PsychedelicSA/status/335183893214924801 Now here's an interesting, glass half full thought about the Nintendo LP thing. It outs the people who are just doing LPs to make money.05/17/2013 - 5:56am
E. Zachary KnightI responded in writing to all this "let's play" stuff Nintendo Started. No need for my permission, I won't give it. It's not mine to give. http://divineknightgaming.com/?p=29205/16/2013 - 2:21pm
E. Zachary KnightLars Doucet of Levelup Labs has a Reddit going on game companies that allow monetization of Let's Play videos. http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1egayn/lets_build_a_list_of_game_studios_that_allow/05/16/2013 - 1:04pm
