| www.shmup-dev.com is proud to announce that our second competition, dubbed “DRAGON SHMUP” has been launched on May 1st, 2006. The competition focuses on shmups, which stands for shoot em ups, a sub-genre of the SHOOTER genre. There are dozens of prizes which are Games, Game development tools, and impressive business tools for shareware business. Sponsors include: Delgine – www.delgine.com Twilight Games – www.twilightgames.com Intermediaware – www.intermediaware.de Anawiki Games – www.anawiki.com Pixel Perceptions – www.pixelperceptions.com Stormcloud Creations – www.stormcloudcreations.com Spidahost – www.spidahost.com IndiePath – www.indiepath.com This competition is focusing on any aspect of the shmup genre under a few conditions. The game must star a fantasy/medieval dragon as the main character. The dragon must shoot something, either lasers out it’s eyes, or some sort of gas out of its mouth. (or both) The competition setting must be in a fantasy realm that appears to be in the medieval era mixing with magic that has been seen in many “fantasy” style games / movies. One could think of goblins, orcs, or other dragons, perhaps large birds, etc, etc, etc. Judges will be rating the games on most original, best graphics, best sound, and of course, best of the best! The contest is running from May 1st, to July 1st, and a more detailed list of rules along with a comprehensive FAQ are all available at www.shmup-dev.com after clicking on the "competitions" tab. |

| Woo Hoo! I'm in on this one for sure! |

| I think I might have to have a go at this too... sounds like fun... Now all I've got to do is make some media! [edit] My word... Dragons are difficult to model!! [/edit] |

| Just read on the competition rules that we have to use original media. Does that mean we cannot use media we have purchased? Does it also mean that we cannot use 2d images of a 3d model we have purchased? Basically, if I were to enter I would use this dragon (or a similar one): http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=3746 (render it and use as a 2d image) |

| Yeah, you can use media you have purchased!!! |
