TIG Source Hosts B Game Competition
Being a fan of B-movies and schlock in general, it tickles the cockles of my heart to see independent gaming site TIGSource hosting a B-Game competition on their site. Derek Yu outlines the competition with this description:
Just like cinema has its B-movies and cult cinema, video games has its B-games. They've got Ed Wood and Roger Corman, and we've got Jazzuo and MDickie. You've seen 'em, you've played 'em... we're talking about games that are bad in the right way.By popular demand, TIGSource is sponsoring a competition to celebrate the creation of B-games! We want to see some bad games with some great personalities! Broken gameplay that works; low budget graphics that titillate the primitive and perverted parts of our brains; outrageous themes beyond the ken of normal human beings. We want to see bad games with that certain "je ne sais quois." Terrible, hilarious, sincere games that have the kind of moxie that can only come from the independent game community.
Do you have what it takes to make the baddest, baddest game there is?
The whole competition was inspired by a game they featured called Sexy Hiking. To get a better idea of what they are looking for, give it a whirl. There are no prizes announced as of yet, but I think winning is worth it for the prestige alone, as long as that prestige is endowed with cold, hard cash.

Hooray for TIGSource news! I'm working on my game "Super Missionary Trainer Simulation Plus II" for this. It will likely be the first missionary simulation game to feature blatant homoerotic overtones.
