Dream.Build.Play is a competition where semi-pro and indy game developers are asked to create innovative video games for Xbox 360 using XNA Game Studio. This year the four winners got their piece of $75,000 in cash as well as the opportunity for their game to show up on XBLA.
Microsoft says that there were over 350 games submitted from 110 countries for this year’s contest. Only four won:
If you take the time to watch the gameplay footage (above and below the jump) from all the winners, I’m sure you’ll be impressed. The first place entrant,Lumi, as seen above, looks great. Killer art and music. I’m more into 3rd place pew-happyPrismatic Solid, though.
As a bonus this year, Old Spice teamed up to offer up a prize called the Old Spice Challenge. The community voted, and the winner is an action-adventure calledNewton vs. The Horde. Graham Stewart and his dev team take home $60,000 for the win. To celebrate, they’re giving away copies of the game to the first 8,000 people that visit the Old Spice page on Xbox Live.
Congrats to all the winners. I’m looking forward to playing all of these!
