[MoGames]

Mo'Minis is running a competition using their software.  It is a Game Maker-ish program designed to make mobile games.  I really don't know much about the software, but thought others might want to take a look at it.

Hi everyone & Happy New Year! I'm Aviv from Mo'Minis.
Thank you TheBlackMask for mentioning our contest!

Just wanted to give you guys some more info. Our platform (Mo'Minis Studio)  allows fast development of mobile games with seamless support for a wide range of mobile handsets.

We have recently partnered with Sun Microsystems and orange Israel, initiating the first-ever mobile game creation contest targeted at independent creators. Contest leaders will receive revenues of the wide distribution of their games in orange Israel WAP Portal (accessible to 2,500,000+ subscribers) and additional channels. In addition, Contest winners will enjoy large publicity in major websites and blogs, and attractive prizes valued at $5000. The studio is available for free download on our website: http://dev.mominis.com?sr=10

Let me know if you have any questions regarding the studio / contest.

I only included the game design ones this time, but still, christ, thanks!

What do you mean by 'game design ones'?

What do you mean by 'game design ones'?

as opposed to, say, the far cry 2 level design contest, or Age of Empires scenario design contest.

Zerosoft is having a retro games contest for cash.

In January 2009, we're giving away a copy of Will Hindmarch and Jeff Tidball's Things We Think About Games (a book of game design axioms and inspirations) to the best pervasive game that gets submitted to Ludocity during the month.

it's not computer game-specific, or even oriented, so I won't add it to the list.  It is an interesting design prospect though...

Ahh, alright.

Looks like there's a new Mini Ludum Dare on Feb 6th!

I haven't actually finished either of the games I started making for Ludum Dares, so I feel the need to come up with something simple and take a serious attempt at this one.

There's a 'simulation and sports' game maker contest going on. The idea is to create a good game in the simulation or sports genre, in GM. My game is one of the prizes.
