Epic Games Inc. annoncerede i går, at de i samarbejde med Intel lancerer “$1 Million Intel Make Something Unreal” konkurrencen, hvor folk over hele verdenen skal udvikle modifikationer til PC-versionen af Unreal Tournament 3. Deltagerne skal lave mods indenfor f.eks. baner, karakterer, våben, gameplay og køretøjer. Sidste vinder af konkurrencen, da den bare hed “Make something Unreal”, var WWII moddet “Red Orchestra”, der senere blev udgivet som retail-spil. Denne gang består præmierne af bl.a. en licens til Unreal Engine 3, udviklings-produkter og fra Intel samt en masse andre penge-præmier. Er du vild med Unreal Tournament, men har ikke lyst til at kaste dig ud i konkurrencen, får du stadig en masse ud af det, da alle nye mods og baner vil kunne hentes på nettet ganske gratis til PC-versionen af Unreal Tournament 3. På den officielle Make Something Unreal hjemmeside kan du læse mere om, hvordan du melder dig til, reglerne, kategorierne og alle de andre ting du skal vide, inden du kaster dig ud i projektet.
