Nexon Puts up $1M for Promising Game Concepts

Nexon is looking for talented individuals with great game ideas for a second round of their Nexon iNitiative.

Nexon America is kicking off the second round of the Nexon iNitiative, a million dollar program designed with the intent to seek out the most promising independent video game projects and provide funding to support the next generation of game developers from around the world.

Nexon is now accepting submissions through April 30, 2011 at the official Nexon iNitiative website: http://initiative.nexon.net.

The Nexon iNitiative will award game developers a share of $1 million in development funds for projects that align with Nexon’s focus on community building and long-term user engagement.

Last year, you might recall, Antic Entertainment (CA) and one2tribe (PL) pulled in the winning nods and shared over $1M in funding. They topped a field over more than 100 to do it. They’re still working on those games, but hopefully something good will come of them soon.

They’re taking all manner of game submissions from browser-based social games to flash and client-based games as well as ports from other platforms.

Games with strong online and multi platform elements will get serious consideration, as will game concepts that align with Nexon’s goals.
