Cambridge Games Factory began as a conversation at the MIT Strategic Games Society about the challenges for new designers to get proto-types into print. One way we're hoping to help is by running 'ProtoSlams'--fast paced Proto-Type competitions aimed at helping new games designers get their games noticed.
We are running our first ProtoSlam competition at Unity Games XI on August 19th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. We've got space for 8 teams (each consisting of a Designer plus a Lead Player) and right now there are still plenty of slots open, although we're expecting them to fill up quickly.
This competition is now full. If you'd like to participate in a future competitions, please do the following:
1) Review Unity Games XI Protoslam Rules. By entering the competition, you are agreeing to these rules, including agreeing to hold Cambridge Games Factory and the Unity Games Steerage Committee harmless in the event that a third party acts improperly using information gained from your participation in the competition.
2) E-Mail protoslam@cambridgegames.com to enter the competition (or ask for more information).
