Konami Competition charge les développeurs indépendants de faire revivre son IP classique

Konami is currently hosting a Japanese indie game contest (in cooperation with Shueisha Game Creators Camp), asking small team developers to create action and shooting games based on its classic IP.

The winner scores 2 millions de yens (about $18,000 USD) and will be given the opportunity to commercialise their game – with Konami investing up to 30 millions de yens (around $270,000 USD) in development funds and providing full support for the product. This includes supervision, production advice, localisation support, promotion and equipment.

Konami has listed over 80 different games that creators can reimagine, remake or create sequels for. Some of the titles mentioned include Twinbee, Hideki Kamiya aimerait que vous jouiez aux deux premiers jeux Bayonetta avant d'essayer le troisième and series like Goemon.
