    My idea was for a sort of E3 type thing, no Reward, just some guys having fun making Games.

    I am sorry that I am not famous though, but this originally started as me and friend doing a challenge, but then he said "Oh lets post it on Unity" so I did.

    Its an Indie Game Business run solo by me, but I do have a blog where I post game Updates: http://bondodev.blogspot.com/

    And as for the guy that said this was a Scam... I am not sure how this could be a Scam if its just posting some quick games, I am not asking for the actual game project. just a game you made in 48 hours

    And as for taking time out of your Schedule, this is not what I am asking. I am asking for people that want to just sit down and make a game for 2 days, just for fun.

    My Point being:

    This contest is just for some people to get together and have some fun developing a game for 2 days, and watching where they land in the ranks.

    Website to Submit your game if you Prefer that instead of Email:

    Some kind of a prize would be an incentive.

    I thought too linear was a bad thing.

    I did not say it was a scam. I said it 'smacked of a scam'.

    Scam's often have very little information; just something to get you excited and make you not think about what you are doing. I asked some pointed questions for more information from the community as perhaps some people had dealt with you and could vouch for you and this contest (since you had not originally provided much detail).

    I appreciate you say this is not your intent - but can you see (from the follow up questions) how I might have had that question?

    (Bump)

    I understand how this could be thought of a Scam, and I apoligize, its just something for people to get together and make games for 48 Hours. I still will be giving No Prize, but its just for the fun!

    Game must be Exported for Web Player and put on a Website. Link must be Sent to blakegillman@Outlook.com
    or Published in the form of a Comment on http://www.bondodev.blogspot.com/

    Thanks for Playing! And I hope to see some Games!
    Game must be Turned in by 8/10/14 1:00PM (UTC -05) or for U.S Citizens, Eastern Time

    The time is 12:38 PM
    There is only 22 Minutes left in the Challenge, no Submissions have yet been made though. So this is considered a Failed attempt. Thank you Community for calling me a Scammer, And a ripoff Just because you didn't have my full information and thought that I was trying to trick you (Not mel ) but a lot of private messages came in talking about how they thought this whole thing was a setup so I could 'take credit for their game' ... So Thanks!

    From my understanding the deadline time and date has not even been hit yet if it means Sunday, or as in the date format which most of world uses, 8th of October ;)
