Calling all readers across the pond! Ever get an idea for a great iPhone game, only to realize you don't quite have the time or resources to develop your idea? Or even more, look on with envy that your game could replicate the monetary success of Angry Birds? Then this could be your chance to make it happen. A new contest for Great Britain residents is starting up, where Neon Play, in association with Mac Format magazine and Tap! are willing to give your App Store supremacy dreams a chance to come to true.
If you feel that you have the next great idea, then you can either click here to enter and get more details or pick up a copy of Mac Format or Tap! magazine this month and fill out the application form. Then hash out your idea, tell Neon Play about your game, and then send it off to them.
Once all entries are received at the end of May of this year, a highly qualified panel of some of the top industry judges from Mac Format, Neon Play and industry journalist Stuart Dredge will then sit down and work out which idea they think might be the best one.
After that, Neon Play will then get rolling on designing and building the winning app and then launching it on the App Store. Should you be the winner, you get to share in 25% of the profits of the game, which given the success of some games, could result in a good chunk of change!
"We're really looking forward to some great ideas and hope that we get a cracking new game idea that will become an iPhone classic. Don't be shy if you think your idea might be the big one," says Oli Christie, CEO of Neon Play.
"There are lots of people out there without the programming skills who have great ideas for iPhone games, and with the assistance of Neon Play, we're going to help them realize their dreams," says Graham Barlow, Editor-in-Chief of MacFormat and Tap!
So if you've been looking for that perfect opportunity to get your iPhone game idea to come to life, now is as good as time as any!
