Hi everyone !
I guess the people who know me have seen me around almost exclusively for the games I released, but that's far from being the only thing I do ! I'm also admin of a few dev sites, including http://www.dev-fr.org , a french amateur dev website. We have held a nice compo last year, sponsored by DS-X, which gave as great prizes : a Wii, a Nintendo DS Lite, and other nintendo ds dev stuff...
We're starting to work on this year's compo, and as I've done some PocketPC games, I thought it could be the right time to open up and have a multi-platform "handheld" compo, with like NDS/PSP/PPC... For now, it seems like it would be games only, not sure yet.
Anyways, I posted because I had a few questions regarding what the compo could be/have :D
1. Would people from here actually participate ? The games don't have to be fantastic (well, participating is always fun, you don't care about winning), and the compo will be held over like 2 or 3 months, so that gives you plenty of time...
2. Would people actually donate for the prizes ? Last year we had a quick chipin widget created, generated a few bucks we used to give out a few extra prizes. Some prizes can be given out that way for like "most original submission" and other surprising games which didn't win
3. Any idea if I could find a PocketPC manufacturer/reseller to sponsor the compo and provide a few very nice prizes ? That would be really awesome, but I have no idea who to contact and how :/ Any tips will be more than welcome :D
If you have any other ideas, suggestions, or questions... I'll stay around ;) (back to coding I go :D)
