Develop a Windows Phone Game, Win A Dell Alienware M18x Gaming Rig

Back in October, when I announced a series of HTML5 Game Camp Events, I suggested that if you think learning how to develop video games is of little value, then you’re quite mistaken. I commented that the list of top apps in any of the major mobile phone marketplaces are virtually all GAMES!  That’s still the case today 3 months later.

If you’re considering developing a mobile app and want to make money on it, it seems building a game would be the way to go!  Creating a game can be very rewarding.  Making money while selling those games is more rewarding.  Winning stuff for the games you create is gravy on top. 

Sweet, succulent gravy!

I just got word of a new incentive for those interested in developing a Windows Phone game.  From the folks at the Microsoft User Community & Microsoft Tech Student groups:

Calling all game developers! If you create and publish a game to the Windows Phone Marketplace, you have a shot at winning a Dell Alienware M18x laptop – ideal for getting your game on. Just go to https://on.fb.me/succulentgravy to find out more about the contest, how to enter, and what you can win. Rules: https://bit.ly/YGGRules

Sweet! Succulent! Gravy!

Head on over and jump in!

  Any chance of any of these promotions being replicated for other regions? I'm just north of the border in Canada and all I've seen offered is a prize of 5 cups of coffee

  @anon - Since I'm in the US, I can't speak for what my Canadian peers are promoting. However, you can reach out to them and ask over at blogs.msdn.com/.../cdndevs.
