Overview

The people have spoken: nominations have been made, votes cast; we can now reveal the theme for YYGs first "user-generated" competition will be ... co-operation.

The process of working or acting together, achieving something greater than the sum of your parts. It may seem abstract but YYG already hosts a few notable examples — think Frozzd and Ancient Ants Adventure.

Judging will be conducted by YoYo Games and Prof. Overmars. As with the last competition the community response will be taken into account when we come to judge the entries.

So even if you don't enter the competition yourself, you can still contribute by trying out the games. However, we do ask that the entrants themselves do not rate competition games (on pain of disqualification!).

The contest will end on August 24th, 2008.

A Few Words

Don't mistake a theme for a required gameplay mechanic. It doesn't mean you have to make a multiplayer game (but you could), it would be unwise to try to make a "massively multiplayer" online game, and very unwise to make a game which relies on servers which are not always online. The competition theme is just as relaxed and open to interpretation as for previous competitions.

We're still looking for great casual gameplay, to achieve this the game will need to be playable in one-player mode.

All that said, this will be the first competition into which the theme can be incorporated as an interesting game dynamic so we're expecting some pretty interesting entries.

How to Enter
