YoYoGames.com – Largest User Generated Games Site

YoYoGames.com launched a large competition dedicated to young game developers who want their projects to become famous, with the ending date set for April 27.
The winner will become wealthier with $1,750 cash prize.

The website is the world’s largest user generated games site reaching 12,000 games in January and having 75,000 registered developers worldwide with ages between 8 and 80 who have a passion for the YoYo software developed by Professor Mark Overmars.

The UK-based start-up was founded by game’s industry veterans like Sandy Duncan and Michael Cassius and launched in beta in May 2007, to become the world’s largest game developing community which employs web 2.0 model for allowing all to “Play, Make and Share games” for free.

“We’re really very excited about the next competition. The originality and depth of game play achieved by the developers for the winter competition games demonstrates the power of GML as a language for online casual gaming, and suggests our community formula is already starting to pay off. We see this next competition as an opportunity for the community to flex their programming muscles,” declared Sandy Duncan, CEO, YoYo Games.
