Epic Games has now launched their new "Make Something Unreal" PC game mod contest.
Sponsored this time by Intel, the contest will give aspiring game
creators a way to win cash and prizes for making mods based on Epic's
Unreal Tournament 3. Over $1 million in cash and prizes will be given
to the winners and just like the first "Make Something Unreal" contest
(for mods made with UT 2003/2004) the new version will have a grand
prize of a full Unreal Engine 3 license for the overall best mod. Last
time the winner was Tripwire Interactive for their Red Orchestra mod;
they later formed a full dev team and released the game as a stand
alone commercial title. Judging will begin in June 2008 in the first
phase of the contest; the final winners will be determined in fall 2009
after all four phases are complete.
