Notch, Suda51 and more judging indie game jam in September

The second Indie Speed Run game jam will begin next month, with a range of especially notable industry figureheads judging entries for prizes totalling $4,000. This novel take on game jams asks participants to create games in the space of 48 hours, with random variables assigned that they must feature heavily in their game. Each game is then judged by a panel of game industry veterans -- the full list of judges is as follows: Peter Molyneux (Fable 1-3, Godus, Curiosity, Black & White) Markus "Notch" Persson (Minecraft) Suda51 (No More Heroes, Killer7) Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island, The Cave) Brian Fargo (Fallout, Wasteland 1&2) Kim Swift (Portal, Left 4 Dead, Quantum Conundrum) Dan Pinchbeck (Dear Esther, Amnesia) Matthew Davis and Justin Ma (FTL) Trent Oster (BioWare co-founder, Baldur's Gate) Brian Provinciano (Retro City Rampage) Jason Rohrer (Castle Doctrine) Ian Dallas (Unfinished Swan) Andrew Spinks (Terraria) Registration for the event is now open, and the competition will begin in September. All finished games will then be presented on the Indie Speed Run website in October. More details about the competition can be found on the official website.
