| AGDC 07: Top Secret Interview with David Perry
AGDC gave us the chance to talk to David Perry of Acclaim about his community designed and now developed MMO project Top Secret. Perry - who is also bringing 2Moons to North America - announced at the conference that they would hold a $1,000,000 contest for indie groups to develop the game his community designs.[blockquote]
Acclaim has opened the doors to hobbyist and independent developers worldwide and challenged them to create the Top Secret project. Teams are allowed to use whatever engine they like and try to create the best, most faithful version of the game possible. The winning studio gets up to $1,000,000 in prizes, primarily to pay the bill of whatever engine they selected, but also a $100,000 advance and a standard contract. They will also receive royalties on the project itself.
Ultimately, Acclaim views the winner as their first "studio". To date, they've been adapting foreign games, but down the line, whoever pulls out the victory will hopefully work on original Acclaim projects.[blockquote]Read more after the click.
