2013 Microsoft Unity Competition Results
Microsoft in conjunction with the New Zealand Game Developer Association (NZGDA), earlier this year ran a competition calling for submissions from budding developers to submit their Unity Apps to the Windows 8 or WIndows Phone 8 Store.
As part of this, the NZGDA and Microsoft launched the following competition for developers.
The best Gaming App (that was published) to either the Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 platform would receive the following prize:
- First Place - 128GB Surface Pro + Nokia Lumia 820 Dev Phone + $5000!
- Runner Up – 128GB Surface Pro + Nokia Lumia 620 Dev Phone
The best 5 apps would also have an opportunity to be showcased through our media channels.
In addtion to this local competition, Microsoft ran a Global Unity competition where entrants could take the same app and submit it to win a share of the $100,000 prize money.
The shortlisted entries for 2013 were:
