My game won $250!

So, I made this game called "Clean Asia!" for the SHMUP-DEV AUTOFIRE 2K7 Competition, and won!

The fight between the top seven entries was quite fierce, and I had no idea what to expect. But happily enough, I'm now $250 richer, and I'll be getting a big assortment of cool games to play. You should really check out the other entries as well, though. Really excellent games!

The game was featured in several gaming magazines around the world. At least one german (Game Star) and one Czech (Level). Another one of my games, The Design, was also featured in another magazine, but one from my own country. I'm quite proud of the little article I got, and they were really positive about it.

Clean Asia! was also in the cage match, and even beat the excellent The Wasteland, but lost against The Jeluvian Project (another fine game). However, I was pleasantly surprised to see it being entered into the Staff's Choice section on the GMC.

I also appeared on a cool website called Game Trailers, that mainly deals with commercial titles. They even cut a little video piece together for it.

Finally, I was featured on the prominent EO Community's hot little site, under their Game Maker Radar.

I haven't submitted the game to 64digits, yet, buy I will do so ASAP. I might do an update soon, so I'm waiting a bit.

So, this is my biggest success so far. I hope to follow it up with even greater achievements!

Oh, and the game is available for download on my site:

I'm still trying to make a game that can win a cagematch, much less 250 bucks.

Okay. Can I have your $250 dollars!? I'm in debt $280 though……

Sweet. I haven't played any of those other games, but you definitely deserve that $250. Sick game.

Yeah, I had no hesitation when I put this up on the Eo Radar. It is very clear that just because a game is developed with Game Maker does not mean it cannot achieve excellence. Well done,
