I present to you the 100 dollar demo-skinning challenge (Hosted at http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=7810.0 - Pixelation )

I originally created this little demo for a friend of mine who’s looking to break into the pixel art field but has no portfolio.  I figured the next best thing to an actual published game would be a small demo that mimics a game.  Simply replace the art in the folder with your own png’s of the same name and size and when you run the demo it will use your pixel creations!
I’d love for my website to someday host a gallery of countless artist’s re-skins of this and several other demos I plan to make.  To help this become a reality I’m offering a 100 dollar prize to the Pixilation member who is voted (by the rest of us pixilation members) as having created the favorite (creativity and execution) “skin” for the demo.  I’d like to set the deadline for submitting the finished “re-skins” to Sunday, March 29, 2009.  I can pay the winner via paypal or by mailing a U.S. check (if the winner lives in the US.)

You can learn more and download the actual demo from http://holymonkeystudio.com/?page_id=12 - http://holymonkeystudio.com/?page_id=12
I hope this proves fun and useful for us all.

I suppose this is an interesting idea for those who don't have either Gamemaker, RPG Maker or some other game creation engine, and would like to 'try out game making'.

I approve of this.
