Game concept

Skip straight to the rules

Create a concept document where you include a description of your game, and the best drawings, sketches and artwork you have to illustrate it. If the jury thinks your idea is good, you'll win a prize and get stage time to talk about your idea and show your concept art to the TG audience.

Rules

  1. Hand-in

    Entries must be delivered through the web-based compo system.

    If you really want to make us happy, please hand in a ZIP or RAR file containing the entry itself, and a short text file (file_id.diz/.nfo/.txt) with information about the entry as well as contact info.

    What to deliver?

    You must deliver a concept document describing your game concept. In addition to a textual description of the concept, you are allowed to include concept art in the document as well.

    Allowed formats:

    • Portable Document Format (.pdf)
    • OpenOffice Writer (.odt)
    • OpenOffice Impress (.odp)
    • Microsoft Word (.doc)
    • Microsoft Powerpoint (.ppt)

    We prefer to have documents delivered as PDF, but what format you choose to use for entry will not have any influence on the judging of your concept.

  2. Deciding a winner

    The winner will be decided by a jury.

  3. No-go limit

    The compo will be held if we receive 1 or more good entries. If not, this compo may be cancelled.

  4. General rules

    The general rules for the Gathering 2009 creative competitions apply to this compo.
