Silverlight game contest

Winners will be announced on May 25, Entrants will have to create a user profile on the site, download the free Software Development Kit , and use it to develop an online game. There is a limit of three unique entries per person and per e-mail address.

The specifications of the game are quite strict. Mike also will be posting some game frameworks as well as demonstrating some multi-player aspects. It was a decent turnout for those interested in learning where Silverlight plays in casual games. We also were able to talk with the MSN Games teams that gave us an understanding of what would be needed to implement a game in Silverlight.

I was surprised to see how simple the initial process is to get a game in the pipeline for consideration of MSN Games. So if you have some thoughts on writing a game in Silverlight and want a distribution channel…consider MSN Games! Need some incentive? How about a Silverlight game contest?

TeamZone Sports is sponsoring a contest…with some cash prizes. Official rules are coming soon, but you can sign up to be notified here. With the announcement at XNA that the XNA Community games are going to be opened up wider so that anyone can essentially write an XBOX game and have other community members consume it, I suspect people will be jumping at those opportunities!
