Talking about Contests, Flash, Game development and Monetize.
Dictionary.com and MochiAds are bringing you a completely new contest for summer 2009 with $15,000 in prizes.
Beside the cash, this is a very interesting contest because you must use words, and this will require a lot of game design skill to procude something different than Scrabble.
Another interesting thing is Dictionary.com is even providing a word list to help you get started! The only rules for using this list is to mark on the Title Screen of your game that it is being powered by “dictionary.com”.
You can download the list at this link, and in the zipped file you will find a .eps file with the logo and a list of 147,306 (!!) words.
I will made a couple of tutorials about the use of these words during next days, meanwhile let me talk about the prizes:
1st Place – $7,000
2nd Place – $4,000
3rd Place – $2,000
Honorable Mention (x2) – $1,000 each
