Make Something “Unreal” for $1M

Unreal Engine 3 developer Epic Games has teamed up with Intel to put some serious cash on the table for aspiring developers. The competition’s name: the ‘$1 Million Intel Make Something Unreal Contest, states pretty clearly what’s involved. All you have to do is use your mad modding skillz in one of a wide range of categories to create add-ins for UT3. Whether you’ve got a map, a weapon, or a full gameplay overhaul, Epic and intel want to see what aspiring devs have up their sleeves. The products of this competition will be available for download for UT3 players worldwide, so even if you don’t claim the grand prize, it’ll be a great whack of exposure.

Just what is the grand prize? A hard to come by (ie. extremely costly) Unreal Engine 3 developer license. Oh yeah! Can you think of a better tool to help launch a design career? Other prizes include Intel merchandise and cash.

Head on over to the Epic Games site to read the full press release and get more details at the official site if you’re interested in taking part. An Unreal Engine 3 license is certainly nothing to sneeze at, so good luck to you all!
