Three Thing Game Rises Again

Produced with the approval of Imperial Stormtroopers everywhere. 

Registration for the October incarnation of Three Thing Game is now open.  It starts on Monday 22nd of October with the "Amazing Thing Auction" with real fake money. Then on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th we have the infamous 24 hour overnighter, this time with added Mono Game fun-ness.

The team from Mono Games will be on hand to help you port your game to Windows 8, and we will have some Windows 8 systems set up for testing. With a bit of luck you might win whatever big prize we can cobble together for the day, and perhaps win even bigger, by getting your game into the Windows 8 Store before anyone else.

If you are just a first year in our department you are welcome to come along. We will be running a special XNA sampler in the week before the competiton where we will give out some "skeleton code" that you can use to get started.

You can find the registration form here. Fill the form in, give it back to me, Rob Miles, with your registration fee and wait for the magic to happen. It's going to be fun. It always is.

If you have any "things" that you'd like to have included in the auction, put them into the comments on this post.

What time will the auction be at? Many of us work in SEED on Monday, but we get an hour off for lunch if it's around midday.

"The “Thing Assignments” will take place at 2:15 pm on Monday 22nd of October, venue to be announced..." - that's what it says on registration form.
