As some of you might know, I am apart of South Africa’s leading game development community. Starting today, there is a competition at Game.Dev for all South African citizens.

So if you are living abroad, or know any South African developers, point them to Game.Dev. There is a wealth of prizes.

1st Prize - R5 000 (roughly $700)

2nd Prize - R2 500 (roughly $350)

3rd Prize - R1 500 (roughly $200)

Best New Entrant - R1 000 (roughly $ 140)

Ironically, the game I had in mind for the Dream.Build.Play compo fits in perfectly the theme of this competition. If I manage to finish the Roach Toaster remake in XNA, I will definitely splash a prototype together.

P.S. I know some of the people reading this are probably baffled at the thought of South Africa having a game development industry. 0_o.
