| 4429 | 2 | 2004-02-25 12:44:54 | <p> The 'Game of the Month' project's goal is to lend a helping hand to games which haven't received the development effort they've needed and thus are now struggling in a not so pleasant state. Each month the GotM will pick out a number of game proposals and todos and let a vote start on which game should be worked on in the following month. The following month is then spent with joined forces on getting this todo processed. Programmers, graphic, music and sound artists are welcome to join the project and help with getting this work done. After this month the game that was worked on should get a new shiny and polished release with hopefully a lot of new content and cleaned up gameplay.</p> <p>GotM is meant as an open community project, so everybody is welcome to join, help with write proposals, help designing levels or graphics and such.</p> <p>The voting for GotM of March 2004 is now open: <a href="http://www.happypenguin.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1242">GotM of March 2004</a> <p>A more detailed description of GotM, its goals and the requirements for game proposals is available <a href="http://www.happypenguin.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1243">here</a>. | Announcing the Game of the Month project | default |
