Studios for 13 countries around the world have already entered Computec’s Make The Game competition.

The contest opened back in January and has seen entries from firms in the UK, US, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, India, Argentina, Costa Rica and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Participants have to create a new browser and social game, with a prize of up to one million Euros promised to the best titles, as well as publishing contracts and a large advertising budget.

Computec has also announced that Trinigy will also reward up to five of the winners with free game engine licences, valued at over 300,000 Euros.

The global response from game developers and the industry’s interest in our browser and social games competition is absolutely exceptional,” said Computec publishing director Hans Ippisch. Make The Game has become an international success in the games industry in its very first year.”

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
