SAT 13 MAR 14:00 - IGIA WORKSHOP 5@GOGOGIC; - Last workshop, incl how to submit your entry.

PRE-REGISTRATION FORM.

Discussion forums contain all the key IGIA10 updates.

Note: we would like to highlight two key things from the rules

originality of idea is a very big factor, so new and innovative game concepts (or innovative expressions of an existing concept) are likely to score higher than reworkings of existing concepts.
any games already released/launched/announced/advertised before the IGIA10 process started are unfortunately not eligible

Comment by Kjartan Akil Jónsson on November 6, 2009 at 5:25pm: Is there anyone that is interested in joining our group.

This is one of the games that we have been working on and thinking of submitting to IGIA10
"The Fly on the Wall", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-ZFQ6Lj0UI
You can look at the YouTube video of the game concept.

Anyone interested in game development is welcome to join : )

Comment by Kristján Friðbertsson on November 4, 2009 at 7:12pm: Jon Trausti: No probs :) sorry it probably wasn't the answer you were hoping for. From the looks of things though, I'm sure you'll have no problem coming up with something else just as good or better :-)
