If so, you could win $15,000 in The Money Game Design Jam, presented by Yetizen and AmTrust Financial this weekend. There is a catch, of course. The game must be designed to model financial choices and teach high school kids to understand the impacts of basic financial decisions. As examples, games could incorporate financial planning, choice modeling, cost benefit analytics, the time value of money, and budget planning. It's all pretty dry stuff. But that's actually why this event caught my eye.
Calling all U.S. mobile game developers! Mobility Unleashed wants to find the absolute best developer of indie games right now on the market. Sponsored by Qualcomm and YetiZen, this exciting contest calls for all interested games studios to submit their best and "snappiest" game for consideration in what will undoubtedly become an important and high accolade to slap on your latest indie gem. There will be two selected winners in the contest: one for Android, and one for Windows. However, it should be noted that all games are expected to be of the highest console quality if they stand a chance at winning.
