38 Studios , the Maynard-based video game company founded by Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, announced the first annual Massachusetts Game Challenge, which is open to students studying game design at Massachusetts-area universities.
Contestants must form teams and design a playable video game featuring the 38 Studios mascot and his alter ego, Mean Munch, as well as create additional characters for Munch’s “posse.”
Of course, there are lots of other rules to follow, and teams will be judged on the quality of the overall finished product, originality, visual polish, stability, length of quality game play, and expanded market vision and product strategy. The grand prize is $3,000 to each winning team member; 2nd Prize is $2,000 each; and 3rd Prize is $1,000 each.
