iPhone demo me beautiful

category: general [glöplog]
i wonder if they enforce the ridiculous apple-developer policy though

Probably not. I expect they'll use the "restricted local distribution"-option, and use it at tradeshows and such.

wtf?! Make a demo, get paid $10k? What kind of craziness is this? :D

That said, I'd love to see some good iphone demos. Its a good platform for demos with a good sdk, it has pretty standard stuff (opengles etc.) and a convenient distribution system through itunes (well ok, it's not what we're used to, but I think it would work well enough).

Gloom: why not distribute it through the app store?

How do you make software for an iphone? I heard something about developing on an emulator as only signed software can run on the real hardware.

psonice: Up to them I guess, but what little text is there about the challenge/compo seems to read like it's going to be used for eyecandy for the company, which is fine, but Apple might not automatically approve of such things. Also, Gargaj has leading when it comes to the developer policy: when not aiming for App Store distribution, you can bend the rules quite a bit when developing your app.

Nice, I'd like to know a bit more about the people behind all this though.

actually, you'd need a mac rather than an iphone. The sdk has an emulator. Unless you want to code on a touch screen keyboard ;)

$10k? NG Labs is buying the demoscene!
added on the 2008-09-04 14:54:26 by stijn stijn
Yes, but only the "new demoscene".

No freebies, no demos.

10'000$ is not freebie enough? :)

bruce: seems to be a venture capital firm founded by an ex-member of EA's Spore team, see here and also here

I'd like to see more details about this though, since the website is seriously low on details. :)

Neil Young? awesome.

zest: yes but everyone knows you're a pennyless clochard, while these ppl have got actual funding :P

I'm pretty sure Neil has earned some bucks as a producer of the Lord of the Rings games for EA, or more importantly, some credibility for the VC companies.

10k each or alltogether?
added on the 2008-09-04 15:14:29 by pohar pohar
that's a good question. Asked them for more info. We'll see.

That's what you get after you did something.
