This year's ideathon theme is "Reinventing the Wheel." We're encouraging participants to take a product or idea (or game!) and redesign it with a new flair. Judges from Sledgehammer Games will evaluate your idea based on: 1) overall design and creativity of the game, 2) technical achievement, 3) execution of your idea (is it finished/usable?), 4) how related it is to the theme, 5) artistic value, and 6) bonus points for something coded!
Requirements
Please submit a slide deck that gives an overview of your project for review by our judges and for our final presentation session. Your slides should cover the following: how you have reinvented the usual idea, how your idea can compete against current products, and a general development plan and budget.
