If you’re familiar with American politics, you’ve heard the phrase “vote early, vote often.” The quote may be referring to voting corruption in Chicago, but it’s pretty fitting for the Playyoo Game Contest as well.

Why early? This is critical for those of you thinking about entering your games in the contest (and with $25,000 in prizes, this is a good idea). Sure, game uploads are due by February 15, 2008 to be eligible. But winners are selected by download statistics and community ratings (after all, at Playyoo we’re all about community). That means if you submit your game on February 13, you don’t stand much of a chance to build the community following needed to win. The earlier you submit, the better your chances of winning. If you submit games before Playyoo goes live in mid December, your games will be included in the initial inventory - ready to be found, downloaded and enjoyed right from the start.

And remember, there’s no limit to the number of games you can enter. So if you’ve got a great idea for a handful of puzzle and action games, there’s no need to choose. We want them all.

If you want to learn a little more about Thomas, just check out the recent press release. Here at the office we’re trying to see if his head is growing after being called a “thought leader” across the media. But so far, no changes. All joking aside, Thomas brings a wealth of experience, great ideas, and even greater passion to help build the Playyoo community.

Yesterday we had the chance of getting the word out to professional Flash developers of the Boston User Group. Since Playyoo is a great stage to showcase developer’s talent and creativity it’s very important to have close connection to this community.Together with games produced by you and me via our Game Creator tool we will see an interesting competition between the pros and the amateurs. Innovation, in the end, is at the heart of Playyoo as a whole. Let’s get ready for the game. Only a few weeks and everybody will be able to match with the developers.
